ACTION: Final rule; correction.
AGENCY:
This final rule reinstates in
Department of Energy (DOE) regulations
the energy and water conservation
standards required by the Energy Policy
Act of 2005 (EPACT 2005) for
commercial clothes washers (CCWs)
until January 1, 2013. In the final rule
establishing amended standards for
CCW, published in the Federal Register
on Friday, January 8, 2010 (75 FR 1122)
and applicable as of January 1, 2013,
DOE erroneously deleted reference to
these EPACT 2005 standards.
DATES: This correction is effective on
November 8, 2011. The effective date of
the rule published Friday, January 8,
2010, was March 9, 2010. The standards
established in that final rule will be
applicable starting January 8, 2013.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: DOE
published amended energy and water
conservation standards for commercial
clothes washers on January 8, 2010 (75
FR 1122). Compliance with these
amended standards is required as of
January 1, 2103. Prior to January 1,
2013, manufacturers are required to
meet the standards established by Title
III, Part C 1 of the Energy Policy and
Conservation Act of 1975 (EPCA or the
Act), Public Law 94–163 (42 U.S.C.
6311–6317, as codified), as amended by
the Energy Policy Act of 2005 (EPACT
2005; Pub. L. 109–058). Those standards
require that CCWs manufactured on or
after January 1, 2007 have a modified
energy factor (MEF) of at least 1.26
cubic feet of capacity (ft 3) per kilowatthour (kWh) and a water factor (WF) of
not more than 9.5 gallons of water (gal)
per ft 3. (42 U.S.C. 6313(e)) The EPACT
2005 standards were previously codified
in title 10 of the Code of Federal
Regulations (CFR) part 431, subpart I,
section 431.156 (70 FR 60407, Oct. 5,
2008). In the January 8, 2010 final rule,
however, DOE mistakenly deleted the
EPACT 2005 standards from the
regulatory text. This final rule reinserts
the EPACT 2005 standards, which are
applicable until January 1, 2013, into
the regulatory text.
Procedural Issues and Regulatory
Review
The regulatory reviews conducted for
this rulemaking are those set forth in the
October 8, 2005 final rule that originally
codified the EPACT 2005 standards into
DOE’s regulations.
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. The standards being
reinstated into DOE’s regulations in
today’s final rule are currently required
by EPACT 2005. DOE previously
codified these standards in its
regulations in the October 2005 final
rule without prior opportunity for
comment given the EPACT 2005
directive. DOE has determined that
there is good cause to waive the 30-day
