 AGENCY: Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, Department of Energy.
 ACTION: Direct final rule; confirmation of effective and compliance dates; technical correction.
 SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of Energy (“DOE”) published a direct final rule to establish new energy conservation standards for miscellaneous refrigeration products in the 
                        **Federal Register**
                         on May 7, 2024. DOE has determined that the comments received in response to the direct final rule are not adverse and, thus, do not provide a reasonable basis for withdrawing the direct final rule. Therefore, DOE provides this document confirming the effective and compliance dates of those standards. This document also corrects an error in the amended regulatory text as it appeared in the direct final rule published on May 7, 2024.
 DATES: The technical correction in this document is effective September 30, 2024. The effective date of September 4, 2024, for the direct final rule published May 7, 2024 (89 FR 38762) is confirmed. Compliance with the standards established in the direct final rule will be required on January 31, 2029.

Typographical Error Correction IV. Impact of Any Lessening of Competition V. Review Under the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 VI. Conclusion I. Authority The Energy Policy and Conservation Act, Public Law 94-163, as amended (“EPCA”),[1]
                    
                     authorizes DOE to issue a direct final rule establishing an energy conservation standard for a product on receipt of a statement submitted jointly by interested persons that are fairly representative of relevant points of view (including representatives of manufacturers of covered products, States, and efficiency advocates), as determined by the Secretary of Energy (“Secretary”), that contains recommendations with respect to an energy or water conservation standard that are in accordance with the provisions of 42 U.S.C. 6295(o) or 42 U.S.C. 6313(a)(6)(B), as applicable. (42 U.S.C. 6295(p)(4)) The direct final rule must be published simultaneously with a notice of proposed rulemaking (“NOPR”) that proposes an energy or water conservation standard that is identical to the standard established in the direct final rule, and DOE must provide a public comment period of at least 110 days on this proposal. (42 U.S.C. 6295(p)(4)(A)-(B)) Not later than 120 days after issuance of the direct final rule, DOE shall withdraw the direct final rule if: (1) DOE receives one or more adverse public comments relating to the direct final rule or any alternative joint recommendation; and (2) based on the rulemaking record relating to the direct final rule, DOE determines that such adverse public comments or alternative joint recommendation may provide a reasonable basis for withdrawing the direct final rule. (42 U.S.C. 6295(p)(4)(C)) If DOE makes such a determination, DOE must proceed with the NOPR published simultaneously with the direct final rule and publish in the 
                    **Federal Register**
                     the reasons why the direct final rule was withdrawn. (
                    *Id.*) After review of the comments received in response to the direct final rule, DOE has determined that it did not receive any adverse comments providing a basis for withdrawal described above for the direct final rule that is the subject of this document. As such, DOE did not withdraw this direct final rule and allowed it to become effective. Although not required under EPCA, where DOE does not withdraw a direct final rule, DOE customarily publishes a summary of the comments received during the 110-day comment period and its responses to those comments. This document contains such a summary, as well as DOE's responses to the comments.
                    ( print page 79371) II. Miscellaneous Refrigeration Products Direct Final Rule A. Background In a direct final rule published on October 28, 2016, DOE prescribed the current energy conservation standards for miscellaneous refrigeration products (“MREFs”) manufactured on and after October 28, 2019. 81 FR 75194. These standards are set forth in DOE's regulations at 10 CFR 430.32(aa)(1) and (2). These standards are consistent with a negotiated term sheet submitted to DOE by interested parties representing manufacturers, energy and environmental advocates, and consumer groups.[2] On March 31, 2023, DOE published a NOPR proposing to establish amended standards for MREFs. 88 FR 19382. On September 25, 2023, DOE received a joint statement (“Joint Agreement”) recommending standards for MREFs that was submitted jointly by groups representing manufacturers, energy and environmental advocates, consumer groups, and a utility.[3]
                    
                     In addition to the recommended standards for MREFs, the Joint Agreement also included separate recommendations for several other covered products.[4]
                    
                     The amended standard levels recommended in the Joint Agreement for MREFs, which are expressed in terms of kilowatt hours per year (“kWh/yr”), are presented in table II.1. Details of the Joint Agreement recommendations for other products are provided in the Joint Agreement posted in the docket for this rulemaking.[5] Table II.1—Recommended Amended Energy Conservation Standards for Miscellaneous Refrigeration Products

 After carefully considering the recommended energy conservation standards for MREFs in the Joint Agreement, DOE determined that these recommendations were in accordance with the statutory requirements of 42 U.S.C. 6295(p)(4) for the issuance of a direct final rule and published a direct final rule on May 7, 2024 (“May 2024 Direct Final Rule”). 89 FR 38762. DOE evaluated whether the Joint Agreement satisfies 42 U.S.C. 6295(o), as applicable, and found that the recommended standard levels would result in significant energy savings and are technologically feasible and economically justified.

 As required by EPCA, DOE also simultaneously published a NOPR proposing the identical standard levels contained in the May 2024 Direct Final Rule. 89 FR 38803. DOE then considered whether any comment received during the 110-day comment period following the publication of the May 2024 Direct Final Rule was adverse and provided a reasonable basis for withdrawal of the direct final rule under the provisions in 42 U.S.C. 6295(p)(4)(C). III. Comments on the Direct Final Rule As discussed in section I of this document, not later than 120 days after publication of a direct final rule, DOE shall withdraw the direct final rule if: (1) DOE receives one or more adverse public comments relating to the direct final rule or any alternative joint recommendation; and (2) based on the rulemaking record relating to the direct final rule, DOE determines that such adverse public comments or alternative joint recommendation may provide a reasonable basis for withdrawing the direct final rule. (42 U.S.C. 6295(p)(4)(C)(i)) DOE received comments in response to the May 2024 Direct Final Rule from the interested parties listed in table III.1.

                     The following sections discuss the substantive comments DOE received on the May 2024 Direct Final Rule as well as DOE's determination that the comments are not adverse and thus do not provide a reasonable basis for withdrawal of the direct final rule. A. General Comments AHAM and ASAP 
                    *et al.*
                     expressed support for the May 2024 Direct Final Rule for MREFs because the May 2024 Direct Final Rule establishes standards that are consistent with recommendations submitted in the Joint Agreement. (AHAM, No. 46 at pp. 1-4, 8; ASAP 
                    *et al.,*
                     No. 45 at pp. 1-2) ASAP 
                    *et al.*
                     stated that they supported the price learning methodology in the analysis for the May 2024 Direct Final Rule and they do not expect the standards for MREFs to have any impact on product reliability. (ASAP 
                    *et al.,*
                     No. 45 at pp. 2-3) AHAM further commented that the May 2024 Direct Final Rule standards meet the statutory criteria for amending standards set forth in 42 U.S.C. 6295(o) and that DOE has satisfied the criteria for issuing a direct final rule. (AHAM, No. 46 at pp. 4-6) AHAM supported the compliance dates adopted in the May 2024 Direct Final Rule and DOE's commitment in the May 2024 Direct Final Rule to consider the processes by which DOE analyzes energy and water conservation standards in a separate rulemaking considering all product categories. (
                    *Id.*
                     at p. 6) Clean Future also expressed support for the amended standards adopted by the May 2024 Direct Final Rule. (Clean Future, No. 44 at p. 1) B. Typographical Error Correction AHAM identified a typographical error in the table of amended standards 
                    ( print page 79373)
                    published in the May 2024 Direct Final Rule. DOE adopted consolidated product classes in the table of amended standards at 10 CFR 430.32(aa)(2) but did not remove the descriptive words “without an automatic icemaker” in the descriptions of product classes C-9 and C-9-BI. (AHAM, No. 46 at p. 7) DOE acknowledges that the description as currently found in the May 2024 Direct Final Rule inadvertently included the descriptive words “without an automatic icemaker” in the descriptions of product classes C-9 and C-9-BI. Indeed, as referenced by AHAM, the May 2024 Direct Final Rule adopted consolidated product classes that incorporate icemaker energy adders into the energy use equations for which they are applicable, rather than defining separate product classes with and without icemakers, as is done for the current energy conservation standards codified at 10 CFR 430.32(aa)(2). See 89 FR 38762, 38776-38777. This document corrects the typographical error identified by AHAM and removes the unnecessary words “without an automatic icemaker” from the product class descriptions for product classes C-9 and C-9-BI. In correcting the descriptions of product classes C-9 and C-9-BI in this confirmation document, DOE is aligning the product class description with the intent of the May 2024 Direct Final Rule to adopt consolidated product classes that incorporate icemaker energy adders into the energy use equations for which they are applicable, rather than defining separate product classes with and without icemakers. See 
                    *id.*
                     Because this amendment is a clarifying correction and makes no substantive changes to the May 2024 Direct Final Rule, the changes addressed in this document are technical in nature. DOE has concluded that the determinations made pursuant to the various procedural requirements applicable to the May 2024 Direct Final Rule remain unchanged for this final rule technical correction. These determinations are set forth in the May 2024 Direct Final Rule. 
                    *Id.*
                     at 89 FR 38831-38834. Pursuant to the Administrative Procedure Act, 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(3)(B), DOE finds that there is good cause to not issue a separate request to solicit public comment on the changes contained in this document. Issuing a separate request to solicit public comment would be impracticable, unnecessary, and contrary to the public interest. Neither the errors nor the corrections in this document affect the substance of the May 2024 Direct Final Rule or any of the conclusions reached in support of the direct final rule. Providing prior notice and an opportunity for public comment on correcting objective, typographical errors that do not change the substance of the energy conservation standards serves no useful purpose. Further, this rule correcting a regulatory text error makes non-substantive changes to the product classes subject to the energy conservation standards. As such, this rule is not subject to the 30-day delay in effective date requirement of 5 U.S.C. 553(d) otherwise applicable to rules that make substantive changes. IV. Impact of Any Lessening of Competition EPCA directs DOE to consider any lessening of competition that is likely to result from new or amended standards. (42 U.S.C. 629(p)(4)(A)(i) and (C)(i)(II); 42 U.S.C. 6295(o)(2)(B)(i)(V)) It also directs the Attorney General of the United States (“Attorney General”) to determine the impact, if any, of any lessening of competition likely to result from a proposed standard and to transmit such determination to the Secretary within 60 days of the publication of a proposed rule, together with an analysis of the nature and extent of the impact. (42 U.S.C. 6295(o)(2)(B)(i)(V) and (B)(ii)) To assist the Attorney General in making this determination, DOE provided the Department of Justice (“DOJ”) with copies of the May 2024 Direct Final Rule, the corresponding NOPR, and the May 2024 Direct Final Rule TSD for review. DOE has published DOJ's comments at the end of this document. In its letter responding to DOE, DOJ concluded that, based on its review, it is unlikely that the proposed energy conservation standards for MREFs would have a significant adverse impact on competition. V. Review Under the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 Pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (“NEPA”), DOE had analyzed the direct final rule in accordance with NEPA and DOE's NEPA implementing regulations (10 CFR part 1021). DOE has determined that this rule qualifies for categorical exclusion under 10 CFR part 1021, subpart D, appendix B5.1 because it is a rulemaking that establishes energy conservation standards for consumer products or industrial equipment, none of the exceptions identified in B5.1(b) apply, no extraordinary circumstances exist that require further environmental analysis, and it meets the requirements for application of a categorical exclusion. See 10 CFR 1021.410. Therefore, DOE has determined that promulgation of this direct final rule is not a major Federal action significantly affecting the quality of the human environment within the meaning of NEPA and does not require an environmental assessment or an environmental impact statement. VI. Conclusion In summary, based on the previous discussion, DOE has determined that it did not receive any adverse comments in response to the direct final rule for amended energy conservation standards for MREFs. As a result, the energy conservation standards set forth in the direct final rule became effective on September 4, 2024. Compliance with these standards is required on and after January 31, 2029.

 Note: The following appendix will not appear in the Code of Federal Regulations. Appendix A July 9, 2024 Ami Grace-Tardy Assistant General Counsel for Legislation, Regulation and Energy Efficiency U.S. Department of Energy Washington, DC 20585 *Ami.Grace-Tardy@hq.doe.gov* Re: Conservation Standards for Miscellaneous Refrigeration Products DOE Docket No. EERE-2020-BT-STD-0039 Dear Assistant General Counsel Grace-Tardy: I am responding to your May 10, 2024, letter seeking the views of the Attorney General about the potential impact on competition of proposed energy conservation standards for miscellaneous refrigeration products (MREFs). 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). The Assistant Attorney General for the Antitrust Division has authorized me, as the Policy Director for the Antitrust Division, to provide the Antitrust Division's views regarding the potential impact on competition of proposed energy conservation standards on his behalf. 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. We have reviewed the proposed standards contained in the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (89 FR 37987, May 7, 2024), the Direct Final Rule (89 FR 38762, May 7, 2024), and the related Technical Support Documents (TSD) that accompanied them. We have also reviewed the Docket and noted that, as of July 9, 2024, no public comments had been filed in response to the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking or the Direct Final Rule. Based on this review, our conclusion is that the proposed energy conservation standards for MREFs are unlikely to have a significant adverse impact on competition. Sincerely, /s/ David G.B. Lawrence, *Policy Director*.
