FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION
16 CFR Part 305
RIN 3084-AB03
Energy Labeling Rule
AGENCY: Federal Trade Commission.
ACTION: Final rule; correction.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Federal Trade Commission (``Commission'') is correcting a
final rule published in the Federal Register of August 12, 2014, which
amends the Energy Labeling Rule by updating comparability ranges for
certain heating and cooling products and making conforming changes to
the Rule's sample labels.
DATES: Effective Date: September 4, 2014.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Hampton Newsome, Attorney, Division of
Enforcement, Bureau of Consumer Protection, Federal Trade Commission,
Washington, DC 20580; (202) 326-2889.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This document corrects tables and sample
labels for central air conditioners in the August 12, 2014, final rule
document (79 FR 46985) amending the Energy Labeling Rule (``Rule''), 16
CFR part 305. Specifically, this document corrects the lower range
numbers for several central air conditioner categories to reflect new
DOE minimum conservation standards scheduled for January 1, 2015, adds
range numbers for space-constrained and small-duct, high-velocity
product categories omitted from the tables in the final rule
document,\1\ and makes conforming corrections to the range numbers on
the sample labels.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ In a January 25, 2013 final rule document (78 FR 8362), the
Commission announced that it would add ranges to the Rule for space-
constrained products and small-duct, high-velocity systems.
