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.
