Department of Energy June 13, 2024 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

The U.S. Department of Energy ("DOE") published a direct final rule to establish new energy conservation standards for refrigerators, refrigerator-freezers, and freezers in the Federal Register on January 17, 2024. DOE has determined that the comments received in response to the direct final rule do not provide a reasonable basis for withdrawing the direct final rule. Therefore, DOE provides this document confirming the effective and compliance dates of those standards. This document also corrects an error in the amended regulatory text as it appeared in the direct final rule published on January 17, 2024.
