0027] 
RIN 1904–AC81 
Energy Conservation Program: Energy 
Conservation Standards for Dehumidifiers 
AGENCY : Office of Energy Efficiency and 
Renewable Energy, Department of Energy. 
ACTION : Final rule; technical correction. 
SUMMARY : The U.S. Department of 
Energy (DOE) published a final rule in the Federal Register on June 13, 2016, 
adopting more-stringent energy conservation standards for dehumidifiers. This correction addresses an error in the final rule by clarifying in Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), section 430.32 the energy efficiency metric used to determine compliance with the amended standards. Neither the error nor the correction in this document affect the substance of the energy conservation standards rulemaking or any of the conclusions reached in support of the final rule. In addition, DOE removed 10 CFR 430.32(v)(1) because the requirement is now obsolete. 
DATES : This correction is effective 
August 22, 2016.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION : On June 
13, 2016, DOE published a final rule (the ‘‘June 2016 final rule’’) to adopt more-stringent energy conservation standards for dehumidifiers. 81 FR 38337. In the June 2016 final rule, DOE amended 10 CFR 430.32(v) to add paragraph (3) that incorrectly specified the energy efficiency metric for the amended standards. This final rule correction revises 10 CFR 430.32(v)(3) to specify that the metric is ‘‘integrated energy factor’’ instead of ‘‘integrated energy efficiency factor’’ for dehumidifier energy conservation standards that apply to portable and whole-home dehumidifiers manufactured in, or imported into, the United States on and after June 13, 2019. This energy efficiency metric is consistent with the DOE test procedure final rule to establish a new appendix X1 published on July 31, 2015. 80 FR 45801. DOE also removed 10 CFR 430.32(v)(1) because the requirement is obsolete. 
Procedural Issues and Regulatory 
Review 
The regulatory reviews conducted for 
this rulemaking are those set forth in the June 2016 final rule that originally codified amendments to DOE’s energy conservation standards for dehumidifiers. 81 FR 38337. The amendments from that final rule became effective August 12, 2016. Id. 
Pursuant to the Administrative 
Procedure Act, 5 U.S.C. 553(b), DOE has determined that notice and prior opportunity for comment on this rule are unnecessary and contrary to the public interest. This final rule correction revises 10 CFR 430.32(v)(3) to specify that the metric is ‘‘integrated energy factor’’ instead of ‘‘integrated energy efficiency factor’’ for dehumidifier energy conservation standards and removes 10 CFR 430.32(v)(1) because the requirement is obsolete. Neither the errors nor the corrections in this document affect the substance of the rulemaking or any of the conclusions reached in support of the final rule. For these reasons, DOE has also determined that there is good cause to waive the 30-day delay in effective date. List of Subjects in 10 CFR Part 430
