SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:  
I. Background  
DOE published a final rule in the Federal Register on 15 March 2023 ( March 202 3 Final Rule ), 
amending the test procedure for television sets. 88 FR 16082 . This correction addresses numbering 
errors in the amendatory language in that final rule.  
The amendatory instructions in the March 2023 Final Rule amend Sec. 430.3 by redesignating 
paragraphs (n) through (w) as paragraphs (o) through (x), respectively. 88 FR 16082, 16109. 
However, paragraph (p), which is being redesignated as (q) currently contain s "Note 1 to paragraph 
(p)" and refers to "paragraphs (p)(1) through (9)." The amendatory instructions failed to revise this 
note to correctly refer to paragraph (q). Further, there is already another Note 1 within Sec. 430.3 
(see Sec. 430.3(e)), so the nu mbering of these notes in Sec. 430.3 was not properly sequenced, 
and the note in newly redesignated Sec. 430.3(q) should have been numbered as Note 2.  
II. Need for Correction  
As published, the regulatory text in the March 2023 Final Rule may result in conf usion due to 
incorrect section references. Because this final rule would simply correct errors in the text without 
making substantive changes in the March 2023 Final Rule, the changes addressed in this document 
are technical in nature.  
III. Procedural Issu es and Regulatory Review  
DOE has concluded that the determinations made pursuant to the various procedural requirements 
applicable to the March 2023 Final Rule remain unchanged for this final rule technical correction. 
These determinations are set forth in  the March 2023 Final Rule. 88 FR 16082, 16106 -16109.  
Pursuant to the Administrative Procedure Act, 5 U.S.C. 553(b), DOE determines that notice and prior 
opportunity for comment on this rule are unnecessary and contrary to the public interest. Neither G/TBT/N/USA/677/Rev.1/Add.1/Corr.1  
 
- 2 - 
 
  the errors nor the corrections in this document affect the  substance of the March 2023 Final Rule or 
any of the conclusions reached in support of the final rule. For these reasons, DOE also determines 
that there is good cause to waive the 30 -day delay in effective date in 5 U.S.C. 553(d).  
Correction  
In FR Doc. 20 23-03986, appearing on page 16109 in the Federal Register of Wednesday, 15 March 
2023, the following corrections are made:
