ACTION: Final rule; correction.
AGENCY:
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.

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.

ACTION:
Final rule; technical correction.
On August 11, 2015, the U.S.
Department of Energy published a final
rule in the Federal Register to place in
the Code of Federal Regulations the
energy conservation standards and
related definitions that Congress
prescribed for grid-enabled water
heaters in the Energy Efficiency
Improvement Act of 2015, which
amended the Energy Policy and
Conservation Act of 1975. Due to a
drafting error, a numeral was omitted
from the energy factor equation for gridenabled water heaters. This document
corrects that error.
DATES: Effective: September 21, 2015.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
I. Background
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)
published a final rule in the Federal
Register on August 11, 2015 (‘‘the
August 2015 final rule’’) to place in the
Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) the
energy conservation standards and
related definitions that Congress
prescribed for grid-enabled water
heaters in the Energy Efficiency
Improvement Act of 2015 (EEIA 2015),
which amended the Energy Policy and
Conservation Act of 1975 (EPCA). 80 FR
48004. Since the publication of that
final rule, it has come to DOE’s attention
that, due to a drafting oversight, the
August 2015 final rule incorrectly
omitted a numeral in the equation to
determine the energy factor for gridenabled water heaters. This final rule
corrects this error, adding the missing
numeral.
II. Need for Correction
As published, the August 2015 final
rule contains a typographical error in
