Energy Conservation Program: Energy 

Conservation Standards for Standby 

Mode and Off Mode for Microwave 

Ovens; Correction 

AGENCY: Office of Energy Efficiency and 

Renewable Energy, Department of 

Energy. 

ACTION: Final rule; correction. 

SUMMARY: On January 18, 2013, the U.S. 

Department of Energy (DOE) published 

a final rule amending the test 

procedures for microwave ovens to 

include provisions for measuring 

standby mode and off mode power. On 

June 17, 2013, DOE published a final 

rule adopting energy conservation 

standards for microwave oven standby 

mode. This document addresses a 

drafting error in the June 2013 standards 

final rule, which referenced the 

incorrect provision for determining 

standby power for microwave ovens. 

Neither the error nor the correction in 

this document affect the substance of 

both the test procedure and energy 

conservation standards rulemakings or 

any of the conclusions reached in 

support of those final rules. 

DATES: This correction is effective on 

February 17, 2016.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: DOE 

published a final rule in the Federal 

Register on January 18, 2013, which 

amended the test procedures for 

microwave ovens in Appendix I to 

include provisions for measuring 

standby mode and off mode power. 78 

FR 4015. The provisions for the 

microwave oven test standby mode and 

off mode power measurements are 

contained in section 3.2.4 of Appendix 

I. On June 17, 2013, DOE published a 

final rule (the ‘‘June 2013 standards 

final rule’’) to adopt energy conservation 

standards for microwave oven standby 

mode. 78 FR 36316. Due to a drafting 

error, in the June 2013 standards final 

rule, DOE amended 10 CFR 430.23 to 

add paragraph (i)(3) that incorrectly 

referenced section 3.2.3 1 of Appendix I 

instead of the correct section 3.2.4 for 

determining standby power for 

microwave ovens. This document 

amends 10 CFR 430.23(i)(3) to correctly 

reference section 3.2.4 of Appendix I for 

determining standby power for 

microwave ovens. 

Procedural Issues and Regulatory 

Review 

The regulatory reviews conducted for 

this rulemaking are those set forth in the 

June 2013 standards final rule that 

originally codified the relevant 

amendments to DOE’s test procedures 

for microwave ovens. The relevant 

amendments in the June 2013 standards 

final rule became effective August 16, 

2013. 

Pursuant to the Administrative 

Procedure Act, 5 U.S.C. 553(b), DOE has 

determined that notice and prior 

opportunity for comment on this rule 

are unnecessary and contrary to the 

public interest. This rule contains a 

technical correction to remedy the error 

in the June 2013 standards final rule 

and to correct 10 CFR 430.23(i)(3) to 

reference section 3.2.4 of Appendix I for 

determining standby power for 

microwave ovens. The correction 

provides clarity as to the appropriate 

section of Appendix I to be used for 

determining standby power for 

microwave ovens and does not affect the 

substance or the conclusions reached in 

the June 2013 standards final rule.
