Ladies and Gentlemen: 

On January 4, 2010, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has published a Notice of Proposed 

Rulemaking (NOPR) and announced a public meeting for the test procedure rulemaking for 

walk-in coolers and walk-in freezers (WICF), Federal Register (75 FR 186 ). The NOPR is the 

first document to be published in the test procedure rulemaking process and will be followed by 

a final rule. 

 

DOE will hold an informal public meeting, on Thursday, February 11, 2010, to discuss the 

proposed Test Procedure for Walk-In Coolers and Walk-In Freezers as proposed in the WICF 

Test Procedure NOPR. The public meeting will be held at the U.S. Department of Energy, 

Forrestal Building, Room 8E-089, 1000 Independence Avenue, SW, Washington, D.C. 20585-

0121 from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM EST. 

 

This is in accordance with Section 312(c) of the Energy Independence and Security Act 

(EISA) which amends section 343(a) of the Energy Policy and Conservation Act of 1975 

(EPCA) (42 U.S.C. 6314(a)) by adding subsection 343(a)(9) (42 U.S.C. 6314(a)(9)), which 

establishes test procedure definitions for walk-in coolers and freezers and directs the Secretary of 

Energy to establish test procedures to measure the energy use of this equipment.
