Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 242 / Wednesday, December 16, 2020 / Rules and Regulations
that further rulemaking on this matter is
unnecessary. However, FSIS is
providing an opportunity for comment
on the uniform compliance date
established in this final rule.
Paperwork Reduction Act
FSIS has reviewed this rule under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44
U.S.C. 3501–3520) and has determined
that there is no new information
collection related to this final rule.
Under this final rule, the Agency is
establishing January 1, 2024, as the
uniform compliance date for new meat
and poultry product labeling regulations
that will be issued between January 1,
2021, and December 31, 2022. The
relevant information collection or
record keeping requirements are
covered under OMB approval number
0583–0092, Marking, Labeling, and
Packaging.
Executive Orders 12866 and 13563, and
the Regulatory Flexibility Act
Executive Orders 12866 and 13563
direct agencies to assess all costs and
benefits of available regulatory
alternatives and, if regulation is
necessary, to select regulatory
approaches that maximize net benefits
(including potential economic,
environmental, public health and safety
benefits, distributive impacts, and
equity). Executive Order (E.O.) 13563
emphasizes the importance of
quantifying both costs and benefits, of
reducing costs, of harmonizing rules,
and of promoting flexibility. This final
rule has been designated as a ‘‘nonsignificant’’ regulatory action under
section 3(f) of E.O. 12866. Accordingly,
the final rule has not been reviewed by
the Office of Management and Budget
under E.O. 12866.
This rule does not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial
number of small entities; consequently,
a regulatory flexibility analysis is not
required (5 U.S.C. 601–612).
Congressional Review Act
Pursuant to the Congressional Review
Act at 5 U.S.C. 801 et seq., the Office of
Information and Regulatory Affairs has
determined that this final rule is not a
‘‘major rule,’’ as defined by 5 U.S.C.
804(2).

Energy Conservation Program:
Definition of Showerhead
Office of Energy Efficiency and
Renewable Energy, Department of
Energy.
ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:
In this final rule, the U.S.
Department of Energy (‘‘DOE’’) adopts a
revised definition for ‘‘showerhead’’ and
definitions for ‘‘body spray’’ and ‘‘safety
shower showerhead’’. The revised
regulatory definition for ‘‘showerhead’’
is consistent with the most recent
standard developed by the American
Society of Mechanical Engineers
(‘‘ASME’’) in 2018, such that each
showerhead in a product containing
multiple showerheads would be
considered separately for purposes of
determining standards compliance. DOE
has determined that the definition is
consistent with EPCA and, unlike the
current definition, compliant with the
National Technology Transfer and
Advancement Act and Office of
Management and Budget (‘‘OMB’’)
Circular A–119. In addition, the
definition is consistent with DOE’s
treatment of other products, such as
body sprays. DOE is also defining the
terms ‘‘body spray’’ and ‘‘safety shower
showerhead’’ to clarify which products
are not subject to the current energy
conservation standard. With regard to
the showerhead test procedure, DOE
emphasizes in this final rule that the
existing test procedure remains
applicable for purposes of measuring
the water use of a showerhead as
defined in this final rule. DOE is not
finalizing any test procedure
amendments in this final rule.
DATES: The effective date of this rule is
January 15, 2021. The incorporation by
reference of certain publications listed
in this rule is approved by the Director
of the Federal Register on January 15,
2021.
ADDRESSES: The docket for this
rulemaking, which includes Federal
Register notices, comments, and other
supporting documents/materials, is
available for review at https://
www.regulations.gov. All documents in
the docket are listed in the https://
