# Summary	of Interagency	Working	Comments	on	Draft	Language	under	EO

12866	and	EO	13563	Interagency	Review.		Subject	to	Further	Policy	Review. **Interagency	Comments	on	U.S. Environmental	Protection	Agency	(EPA)	draft**  **final	rule	titled, “Protection	of	Stratospheric	Ozone:**  **Change	of	Listing	Status	for	Certain	Substitutes	Under the	Significant	New	Alternatives	Policy	(SNAP)	Program,”	(RIN**  **2060 -** **AS18)** It looks like there is some overlap between the DOE Automatic Commercial Ice Maker (ACIM) energy efficiency standards and the SNAP rule. EPA indicated that only the ice makers that are connected to supermarket remote condensing systems are affected by the SNAP rule. Referring below to the DOE Automatic Commercial Ice Maker energy efficiency standards that go into effect in January 2018, DOE has standards for both batch and continuo us ice makers that each cover two types of remote condensing units including: (1) Remote Condensing (but not remote compressor) and (2) Remote Condensing and Remote Compressor. Is there any overlap in between the DOE ACIM and SNAP supermarket systems requirements? If so, it would appear that the EPA SNAP requirements for supermarket systems is one year ahead of the DOE ACIM requirements. DOE	Energy	Efficiency	Standards	for	Automatic	Commercial	Ice	Makers http://www1.eere.energy.gov/buildings/appliance_standards/product.aspx/productid/21 **Amended New Standards**  Beginning in January, 2018, automatic commercial ice - making equipment producing cube ice with harvest rates between 50 and 2,500 lb of ice per day shall meet the amended energy consumption standards shown on Table 2. Standards shown on Table 2 for batch type ice - makers represent amendments to existing standards set for cube type ice makers, and new standards for cube type ice makers with expanded harvest capacities up to 4,000 pounds of ice per 24 hour period (lb ice/24 hours) and an explicit coverage of other types of batch machines, such as tube type ice makers.
