Energy Efficiency Program for 

Commercial and Industrial Equipment: 

Public Meeting and Availability of the 

Framework Document for Refrigerated 

Beverage Vending Machines 

AGENCY: Office of Energy Efficiency and 

Renewable Energy, Department of 

Energy. 

ACTION: Notice of public meeting and

SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of 

Energy (DOE) is considering amending 

its energy conservation standards for 

refrigerated beverage vending machines. 

To inform interested parties and to 

facilitate this process, DOE has prepared 

a Framework document that details the 

analytical approach and preliminary 

scope of the rulemaking, and identifies 

several issues on which DOE is 

particularly interested in receiving 

comments. DOE will hold a public 

meeting to discuss and receive 

comments on its planned analytical 

approach and issues it will address in 

this rulemaking proceeding. DOE 

welcomes written comments and 

relevant data from the public on any 

subject within the scope of this 

rulemaking. 

DATES: Meeting: DOE will hold a public 

meeting on Thursday, June 20, 2013 in 

Washington, DC. 

DOE must receive requests to speak at 

the public meeting before 4:00 p.m., 

June 13, 2013. DOE must receive an 

electronic copy of the statement with 

the name and, if appropriate, the 

organization of the presenter to be given 

at the public meeting before 4:00 p.m., 

June 13, 2013. 

Comments: DOE will accept written 

comments, data, and information 

regarding the Framework document 

before and after the public meeting, but 

no later than July 19, 2013.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Part B1 of the Energy Policy and 

Conservation Act of 1975 (EPCA), 

Public Law 94–163 (42 U.S.C. 6291– 

6309) established the Energy 

Conservation Program for Consumer 

Products Other Than Automobiles, a 

program covering most major household 

appliances.2 EPCA directed DOE to 

prescribe energy conservation standards 

for beverage vending machines (42 

U.S.C. 6295(v)), and DOE published a 

final rule for beverage vending 

machines on August 31, 2009. (74 FR at 

44914). 

Within 6 years after issuance of any 

final rule establishing or amending a 

standard, EPCA also requires DOE to 

publish a notice determining whether to 

amend such standards. If DOE 

determines that amendment is 

warranted, DOE must also issue a notice 

of proposed rulemaking (NOPR) 

including new proposed energy 

conservation standards by that same 

date. (42 U.S.C. 6295(m)(1)) DOE 

prepared this Framework document to 

consider amending the energy 

conservation standards for refrigerated 

beverage vending machines. This 

document explains the relevant issues, 

analyses, and processes DOE anticipates 

using to determine whether to amend 

the standards, and, if so, for the 

development of such amended 

standards. The focus of the public 

meeting noted above will be to discuss 

the information presented and issues 

identified in the Framework document. 

At the public meeting, DOE will make 

presentations and invite discussion on 

the rulemaking process as it applies to 

refrigerated beverage vending machines. 

DOE will also solicit comments, data, 

and information from participants and 

other interested parties. 

DOE is planning to conduct in-depth 

technical analyses in the following 

areas: (1) Engineering; (2) energy use; (3) 

life-cycle cost and payback period; (4) 

national impacts; (5) manufacturer 

impacts; (6) emissions impacts; (7) 

utility impacts; (8) employment 

impacts; and (9) regulatory impacts. 

Additionally, DOE will also conduct 

several other analyses to support these 

analyses, including the market and 

technology assessment, the screening 

analysis (which contributes to the 

engineering analysis), the markups 

analysis (which contributes to the lifecycle cost and payback period analysis), 

and the shipments analysis (which 

contributes to the national impacts 

analysis). 

Public Participation 

DOE encourages those who wish to 

participate in the public meeting to 

obtain the Framework document and to 

be prepared to discuss its contents. A 

copy of the Framework document is 

available at: http:// 

www1.eere.energy.gov/buildings/ 

appliance_standards/rulemaking.aspx/ 

ruleid/73. 

Public meeting participants need not 

limit their comments to the issues 

identified in the Framework document. 

DOE is also interested in comments on 

other relevant issues that participants 

believe would affect energy 

conservation standards for this 

equipment, applicable test procedures, 

or the preliminary determination on the 

scope of coverage. DOE invites all 

interested parties, whether or not they 

participate in the public meeting, to 

submit in writing by July 19, 2013 

comments and information on matters 

addressed in the Framework document 

and on other matters relevant to DOE’s 

consideration of coverage and standards 

for refrigerated beverage vending 

machines. 

The public meeting will be conducted 

in an informal, facilitated, conference 

style. There shall be no discussion of 

proprietary information, costs or prices, 

market shares, or other commercial 

matters regulated by U.S. antitrust laws. 

A court reporter will record the 

proceedings of the public meeting, after 

which a transcript will be available at: 

http://www1.eere.energy.gov/buildings/ 

appliance_standards/rulemaking.aspx/ 

ruleid/73 and available for purchase 

from the court reporter. 

After the public meeting and the close 

of the comment period on the 

Framework document, DOE will collect 

additional data, conduct the analyses as 

discussed in the Framework document 

and at the public meeting, and review 

the public comments received. 

DOE considers public participation to 

be a very important part of the process 

for determining whether to establish 

energy conservation standards and, if 

so, in setting those standards. DOE 

actively encourages the participation 

and interaction of the public during the 

comment period in each stage of the 

rulemaking process. Beginning with the 

Framework document, and during each 

subsequent public meeting and 

comment period, interactions with and 

among members of the public provide a 

balanced discussion of the issues to 

assist DOE in the standards rulemaking 

process. Accordingly, anyone who 

wishes to participate in the public 

meeting, receive meeting materials, or 

be added to the DOE mailing list to 

receive future notices and information 

about this rulemaking should contact 

Ms. Brenda Edwards at (202) 586–2945, 

or via email at 

Brenda.Edwards@ee.doe.gov.

Docket No. 13–ASW–9] 

Proposed Amendment of Class D and 

Class E Airspace; San Marcos, TX 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking 

(NPRM). 

SUMMARY: This action proposes to 

amend Class D and Class E airspace at 

San Marcos, TX. Additional controlled 

airspace is necessary to accommodate 

new Standard Instrument Approach 

Procedures (SIAP) at San Marcos 

Municipal Airport and the 

decommissioning of the Garys Locator 

Outer Marker (LOM). The FAA is taking 

this action to enhance the safety and 

management of Instrument Flight Rules 

(IFR) operations for SIAPs at the airport. 

Adjustments to the geographic 

coordinates also would be made. 

DATES: Comments must be received on 

or before July 19, 2013. 

ADDRESSES: Send comments on this 

proposal to the U.S. Department of 

Transportation, Docket Operations, 1200
