552a(f).
(n) Reasons for exemptions under 5
U.S.C. 552a(k)(6). The reason for
exempting the system of records is that
disclosure of the material in the system
would compromise the objectivity or
fairness of the examination process.
(o) Exempt information included in
another system. Any information from a
system of records for which an
exemption is claimed under 5 U.S.C.
552a(j) or (k) which is also included in
another system of records retains the
same exempt status such information
has in the system for which such
exemption is claimed.

The U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency is amending a
provision of the recently finalized
Technology Transitions Program under
the American Innovation and
Manufacturing Act (AIM Act). This
action allows one additional year, until
January 1, 2026, solely for the
installation of new residential and light
commercial air conditioning and heat
pump systems using components
manufactured or imported prior to

action to mitigate the potential for
significant stranded inventory in this
subsector. In addition, EPA is clarifying
