Energy Conservation Program: Energy Conservation Standards for 
Refrigerated Bottled or Canned Beverage Vending Machines; Correction

AGENCY: Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, Department of 
Energy.

ACTION: Final rule; correcting amendment.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: On January 8, 2016, the U.S. Department of Energy published a 
final rule amending energy conservation standards for bottled and 
refrigerated beverage vending machines (beverage vending machines). 
This correction addresses a technical error in that final rule.

DATES: Effective April 25, 2016.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) 
published a final rule in the Federal Register on January 8, 2016 
(``the January 2016 final rule'') amending and establishing energy 
conservation standards for beverage vending machines. (81 FR 1027). As 
part of that final rule, DOE amended 10 CFR 429.134 to add a paragraph 
(g), which addresses product-specific enforcement provisions that DOE 
will use to verify the appropriate equipment class and refrigerated 
volume during enforcement testing for beverage vending machines. This 
correction addresses the placement of those provisions under 10 CFR 
429.134 at paragraph (g). At the time of publication of the January 
2015 final rule, 10 CFR 429.134(g) already existed. In order to remedy 
this error, DOE is issuing this final rule correction to add these 
provisions at 10 CFR 429.134(j).

Correction

    In final rule FR Doc. 2015-33074, published in the issue of 
Wednesday, January 8, 2016 (81 FR 1027), make the following correction:

appliances, Imports, Reporting and recordkeeping requirements.

    For the reasons set forth in the preamble, 10 CFR part 429 is 
corrected as follows:

2. Section 429.134 is amended by adding paragraph (j) to read as 
follows:


Sec.  429.134  Product-specific enforcement provisions.

* * * * *
    (j) Refrigerated bottled or canned beverage vending mMachines--(1) 
Verification of refrigerated volume. The refrigerated volume (V) of 
each tested unit of the basic model will be measured pursuant to the 
test requirements of 10 CFR 431.296. The results of the measurement(s) 
will be compared to the representative value of refrigerated volume 
certified by the manufacturer. The certified refrigerated volume will 
be considered valid only if the measurement(s) (either the measured 
refrigerated volume for a single unit sample or the average of the 
measured refrigerated volumes for a multiple unit sample) is within 
five percent of the certified refrigerated volume.
    (i) If the representative value of refrigerated volume is found to 
be valid, the certified refrigerated volume will be used as the basis 
for calculation of maximum daily energy consumption for the basic 
model.
    (ii) If the representative value of refrigerated volume is found to 
be invalid, the average measured refrigerated volume determined from 
the tested unit(s) will serve as the basis for calculation of maximum 
daily energy consumption for the tested basic model.
    (2) Verification of surface area, transparent, and non-transparent 
areas. The percent transparent surface area on the front side of the 
basic model will be measured pursuant to these requirements for the 
purposes of determining whether a given basic model meets the 
definition of Class A or Combination A, as presented at 10 CFR 431.292. 
The transparent and non-transparent surface areas shall be determined 
on the front side of the beverage vending machine at the outermost 
surfaces of the beverage vending machine cabinet, from edge to edge, 
excluding any legs or other protrusions that extend beyond the 
dimensions of the primary cabinet. Determine the transparent and non-
transparent areas on each side of a beverage vending machine as 
described in paragraphs (j)(2)(i) and (ii) of this section. For 
combination vending machines, disregard the surface area surrounding 
any refrigerated compartments that are not designed to be refrigerated 
(as demonstrated by the presence of temperature controls), whether or 
not it is transparent. Determine the percent transparent surface area 
on the front side of the beverage vending machine as a ratio of the 
measured transparent area on that side divided by the sum of the 
measured transparent and non-transparent areas, multiplying the result 
by 100.
    (i) Determination of transparent area. Determine the total surface 
area that is transparent as the sum of all surface areas on the front 
side of a beverage vending machine that meet the

[[Page 24010]]

definition of transparent at 10 CFR 431.292. When determining whether 
or not a particular wall segment is transparent, transparency should be 
determined for the aggregate performance of all the materials between 
the refrigerated volume and the ambient environment; the composite 
performance of all those materials in a particular wall segment must 
meet the definition of transparent for that area be treated as 
transparent.
    (ii) Determination of non-transparent area. Determine the total 
surface area that is not transparent as the sum of all surface areas on 
the front side of a beverage vending machine that are not considered 
part of the transparent area, as determined in accordance with 
paragraph (j)(2)(i) of this section.
