RIN 1904–AB86 

Energy Conservation Program: Energy 

Conservation Standards for Walk-in 

Coolers and Freezers 

AGENCY: Office of Energy Efficiency and 

Renewable Energy, Department of 

Energy. 

ACTION: Publication of determination. 

SUMMARY: The Energy Policy and 

Conservation Act of 1975 (EPCA), as 

amended, prescribes that the U.S. 

Department of Justice (DOJ) make a 

determination on the impact, if any, on 

the lessening of competition likely to 

result from a U.S. Department of Energy 

(DOE) proposed rule for energy 

conservation standards and that DOE 

publish the determination in the 

Federal Register. DOE published its 

final rule for energy conservation 

standards for walk-in coolers and 

freezers on June 3, 2014, and is today 

publishing DOJ’s determination on such 

proposed rule. 

DATES: February 24, 2015.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On June 3, 

2014, DOE published a final rule for 

walk-in coolers and walk-in freezers in 

which DOE amended the energy 

conservation standards for certain walkin cooler and walk-in freezer 

components. Those standards were 

determined by DOE to be 

technologically feasible and 

economically justified and would result 

in the significant conservation of 

energy. The Energy Conservation and 

Policy Act of 1975 (42 U.S.C.6291, et 

seq; ‘‘EPCA’’), Public Law 94–163, 

requires that the Attorney General make 

a determination and analysis of the 

impact, if any, of any lessening of 

competition likely to result from a 

proposed standard, within 60 days of 

publication. (42 U.S.C. 6295(o)(2)(B)(ii)) 

EPCA also requires that DOE publish 

the determination and analysis in the 

Federal Register. Id. 

DOE received the determination in 

response to the September 11, 2013 

NOPR from the Attorney General and 

the U.S. Department of Justice on 

November 13, 2013. Accordingly, DOE 

is publishing that determination in 

today’s notice. 

Issued in Washington, DC, on February 12, 

2015.

Re: Walk In Coolers & Freezers Energy 

Conservation Standards Dear Deputy General 

Counsel Fygi: 

I am responding to your September 10, 

2013 letter seeking the views of the Attorney 

General about the potential impact on 

competition of proposed energy conservation 

standards for walk-in coolers and 

refrigerators. Your request was submitted 

under Section 325(o)(2)(B)(i)(V) of the Energy 

Policy and Conservation Act, as amended 

(ECPA), 42 U.S.C. 6295(o)(2)(B)(i)(V), which 

requires the Attorney General to make a 

determination of the impact of any lessening 

of competition that is likely to result from the 

imposition of proposed energy conservation 

standards. The Attorney General’s 

responsibility for responding to requests from 

other departments about the effect of a 

program on competition has been delegated 

to the Assistant Attorney General for the 

Antitrust Division in 28 CFR § 0.40(g). 

In conducting its analysis the Antitrust 

Division examines whether a proposed 

standard may lessen competition, for 

example, by substantially limiting consumer 

choice, by placing certain manufacturers at 

an unjustified competitive disadvantage, or 

by inducing avoidable inefficiencies in 

production or distribution of particular 

products. A lessening of competition could 

result in higher prices to manufacturers and 

consumers, and perhaps thwart the intent of 

the revised standards by inducing 

substitution to less efficient products. 

We have reviewed the proposed standards 

contained in the Notice of Proposed 

Rulemaking (78 FR 55781, September 11, 

2013) (NOPR). We have also reviewed 

supplementary information submitted to the 

Attorney General by the Department of 

Energy, including a transcript of the public 

meeting held on the proposed standards on 

October 9, 2013. Based on this review, our 

conclusion is that the proposed energy 

conservation standards for walk-in coolers 

and freezers are unlikely to have a significant 

adverse impact on competition. 

Sincerely, 

William J. Baer

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new 

airworthiness directive (AD) for all CFM 

International S.A. (CFM) CFM56–7B 

series turbofan engines. This AD was 

prompted by a dual engine thrust 

instability event that resulted in the 

overspeed and in-flight shutdown 

(IFSD) of one engine. This AD requires 

modification of the engine by removing
