Ladies and Gentlemen: Additional information, including the Framework Document for Refrigerated Beverage Vending Machines, is now available on the Department of Energy website at: http://www.eere.energy.gov/buildings/appliance_ standards/ http://www.eere.energy.gov/buildings/appliance_standards/commercial/beverage_machines. html http://www. eere. energy.gov/buildings/appliance_standards/commercial/beverag e_machines_mtg. htm l The agenda for the July 11 public meeting will be announced by e-mail and made available prior to the public meeting. The presentation slides for the public meeting will be made available after the public meeting. • In addition to establishing energy conservation standards for refrigerated bottled or canned beverage vending machines, section 135(b) of EPACT 2005 directs the DOE to prescribe test procedures that are based on American National Standards Institute (ANSI)/American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) Standard 32.1 2004, "Methods of Testing for Rating Vending Machines for Bottled, Canned or Other Sealed Beverages" and other existing test procedures used in industry. The DOE does not intend to address test procedures for refrigerated beverage vending machines during the above framework public meeting, but under a separate rulemaking and public meeting. You will be informed by e-mail when the announcement about such test procedures appears in the Federal Register.

### The U.S. Department of Energy's Appliances and Commercial Equipment Standards Program (the Program) develops test procedures and minimum efficiency standards for residential appliances and commercial equipment.

Commercial Equipment 

### Residential Products Note for Residential Appliance and Commercial Equipment Consumers: As mentioned above, the Program develops rules and regulations that manufacturers must adhere to in manufacturing products. These regulations apply to products manufactured for sale in as well as those imported into the United States. While the minimum energy efficiency standards require manufacturers to discontinue manufacturing products that do not meet the efficiency standards, products manufactured before the effective date of the new standards may still be sold. Additionally, new performance standards do not make equipment that is already installed obsolete. There is no requirement for consumers to replace existing equipment before the time that they would normally replace those appliances or pieces of equipment. However, the Department encourages consumers to consider efficiency when making purchase decisions since savings in operating costs can more than offset any incremental increases in purchase price.
