DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

10 CFR Parts 429 and 430

[Docket No. EERE-2013-BT-TP-0009]
RIN 1904-AC97


Energy Conservation Program for Consumer Products: Test 
Procedures for Clothes Washers; Correction

AGENCY: Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, Department of 
Energy.

ACTION: Final rule; correction.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: On August 5, 2015, the U.S. Department of Energy published a 
final rule amending the test procedures for clothes washers. This 
correction addresses a numbering error in the regulatory text, by which 
two provisions were inadvertently assigned the same section number. 
Neither the error nor the correction in this document affects the 
substance of the rulemaking or any of the conclusions reached in 
support of the final rule.

DATES: Effective Date: September 4, 2015.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. Bryan Berringer, U.S. Department 
of Energy, Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, Building 
Technologies Office, Mailstop EE-5B, 1000 Independence Avenue SW., 
Washington, DC 20585-0121. Telephone: (202) 586-0371. Email: 
[email protected].
    Mr. Eric Stas, U.S. Department of Energy, Office of the General 
Counsel, GC-33, 1000 Independence Avenue SW., Washington, DC 20585-
0121. Telephone: (202) 586-9507. Email: [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) 
published a final rule in the Federal Register on August 5, 2015 (``the 
August 2015 final rule''), amending the test procedures for clothes 
washers. 80 FR 46729. In the rule, DOE made a drafting error in the 
regulatory text within section 3.10, Energy consumption for the purpose 
of determining the cycle selection(s) to be included in the energy test 
cycle, of Appendix J2 to subpart B of 10 CFR part 430, Uniform Test 
Method for Measuring the Energy Consumption of Automatic and Semi-
automatic Clothes Washers. Specifically, DOE inadvertently designated 
two provisions as section 3.10.3 of that appendix. However, the 
substance of both provisions are correct and are to be retained in the 
test procedure. The effective date for this rule is September 4, 2015.
    In order to remedy this error, DOE is renumbering the relevant 
provisions on page 46781 of the Federal Register in the August 2015 
final rule at 80 FR 46729, as set forth below. The effective date of 
the August 2015 final rule at 80 FR 46729 remains September 4, 2015.

Correction

    In FR Doc. 2014-18330 appearing on page 46729 in the issue of 
Wednesday, August 5, 2015, the following correction is made:

Appendix J2 to Subpart B of Part 430 [Corrected]

    On page 46781, third column, section 3.10.4 is redesignated as 
3.10.5, and the two sections 3.10.3 are redesignated as 3.10.3 and 
3.10.4, respectively.

    Issued in Washington, DC, on August 14, 2015.
Kathleen B. Hogan,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Energy Efficiency, Energy Efficiency and 
Renewable Energy.
