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.
