SUMMARY: Pursuant to an order from the U.S. District Court for the
Northern District of California in the consolidated cases of Natural
Resources Defense Council, et al. v. Perry and People of the State of
California et al. v. Perry, Case No. 17-cv-03404-VC, as affirmed by the
U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit in the consolidated cases
Nos. 18-15380 and 18-15475, the Department of Energy (``DOE'') is
publishing elsewhere in this issue of the Federal Register four final
rule documents that either establish or amend the energy conservation
standards for commercial packaged boilers, portable air conditioners,
industrial air compressors, and uninterruptible power supplies.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Elsewhere in this issue of the Federal
Register, DOE is publishing four separate documents (``ECS documents'')
that establish or amend the energy conservation standards for
commercial packaged boilers, portable air conditioners, industrial air
compressors, and uninterruptible power supplies. These four documents
are being published to comply with an order from the U.S. District
Court for the Northern District of California in the consolidated cases
of Natural Resources Defense Council, et al. v. Perry and People of the
State of California et al. v. Perry, Case No. 17-cv-03404-VC. This
order was affirmed by the Ninth Circuit in a subsequent appeal, Case
Nos. 18-15380 and 18-15475, and, accordingly, DOE is publishing these
documents pursuant to the District Court's order.
Pursuant to this order, DOE submitted the documents, as originally
signed and dated in 2016. By publishing this final action, DOE
reaffirms the validity of the original signatures on the ECS documents
under 1 CFR 18.1 and 18.7.
Each of the ECS documents is substantively identical to the
documents previously posted to DOE's website. However, consistent with
the normal publication process, each document has been reviewed and
edited to ensure that the requirements set out by the Administrative
Committee of the Federal Register (1 CFR chapter I) and the Office of
the Federal Register (Document Drafting Handbook, www.archives.gov/federal-register/write/handbook/ddh/pdf) regarding formatting and
organizational structure have been satisfied.
Signed in Washington, DC, on December 2, 2019.
Daniel Simmons,
Assistant Secretary for Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy.
