standards for refrigerated bottled or canned beverage vending machines by the

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.
