### Energy Conservation Standards Rulemaking Final Rule On August 7, 2009, DOE issued a final rule ( PDF 847 KB ) establishing energy conservation standards for refrigerated beverage vending machines. Due to the provisions of 42 U.S.C. 6295(p)(3), publication in the Federal Register of this final rule will not occur prior to August 27, 2009. Pending publication, DOE is making the final rule available for the convenience of interested parties. While DOE expects no substantive changes in the final rule when it is published, should there be any differences, the final rule published in the Federal Register is the legally effective version. The standards established in the final rule will be applied three years from the date of publication in the Federal Register.
