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.

Office of Energy Efficiency and
Renewable Energy, Department of
Energy.
ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:
The Energy Policy and
Conservation Act of 1975 (EPCA or the
Act), as amended, prescribes energy
SUMMARY:

conservation standards for various
consumer products and certain
commercial and industrial equipment.
In addition to specifying a list of
covered consumer products and
commercial equipment, EPCA contains
provisions that enable the Secretary of
Energy to classify additional types of
consumer products as covered products.
On April 18, 2016, the U.S. Department
of Energy (DOE or the Department)
published a final coverage
determination to classify portable air
conditioners (ACs) as covered consumer
products under the applicable
provisions in EPCA. In this final rule,
DOE establishes new energy
conservation standards for portable ACs.
DOE has determined that the energy
conservation standards for these
products would result in significant
conservation of energy, and are
technologically feasible and
economically justified.
DATES: The effective date of this rule is
March 10, 2020. Compliance with the
standards established for portable ACs
in this final rule is required on and after
January 10, 2025.
ADDRESSES: The docket for this
rulemaking, which includes Federal
Register notices, public meeting
attendee lists and transcripts,
comments, and other supporting
documents/materials, is available for
review at www.regulations.gov. All
documents in the docket are listed in
the www.regulations.gov index.
However, not all documents listed in
the index may be publicly available,
such as information that is exempt from
public disclosure.
