81 FR 61982 - Energy Conservation Program: Test Procedures for Integrated Light-Emitting Diode Lamps; Correction

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Register Volume 81, Issue 174 (September 8, 2016)

On July 1, 2016, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) published a final rule adopting a test procedure for integrated light-emitting diode (LED) lamps (hereafter referred to as ``LED lamps'') to support the implementation of labeling provisions by the Federal Trade Commission, as well as the ongoing general service lamps rulemaking, which includes LED lamps (hereafter the ``July 2016 final rule''). This correction addresses an error in the July 2016 final rule to add appendix BB to 10 CFR 430.3(p)(5). Neither the error nor the correction in this document affect the substance of the test procedure rulemaking or any of the conclusions reached in support of the final rule.

Energy Conservation Program: Test Procedures for Integrated 
Light-Emitting Diode Lamps; Correction

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

ACTION: Final rule; correction.

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

SUMMARY: On July 1, 2016, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) published 
a final rule adopting a test procedure for integrated light-emitting 
diode (LED) lamps (hereafter referred to as ``LED lamps'') to support 
the implementation of labeling provisions by the Federal Trade 
Commission, as well as the ongoing general service lamps rulemaking, 
which includes LED lamps (hereafter the ``July 2016 final rule''). This 
correction addresses an error in the July 2016 final rule to add 
appendix BB to 10 CFR 430.3(p)(5). Neither the error nor the correction 
in this document affect the substance of the test procedure rulemaking 
or any of the conclusions reached in support of the final rule.

DATES: Effective Date: September 8, 2016.

    Ms. Lucy deButts, U.S. Department of Energy, Office of Energy 
Efficiency and Renewable Energy, Building Technologies Program, EE-2J,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: DOE published the July 2016 final rule in 
the Federal Register on July 1, 2016, which adopted the test procedures 
for LED lamps in Appendix BB to support the implementation of labeling 
provisions by the Federal Trade Commission, as well as the ongoing 
general service lamps rulemaking, which includes LED lamps. 81 FR 
43403. The test procedure for standby power adopted in the July 2016 
final rule references the test standard published by the International 
Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), titled ``Household electrical 
appliances--Measurement of standby power,'' IEC 62301 (Edition 2.0, 
2011-01). Therefore, to incorporate by reference IEC 62301 for appendix 
BB, DOE attempted to amend Sec.  430.3 to add appendix BB to the list 
of approved appendices in existing paragraph (p)(5). However, the 
amendatory instruction was incorrectly written and appendix BB was not 
added. This final rule corrects Sec.  430.3(p)(5) to include appendix 
BB.

Procedural Issues and Regulatory Review

    The regulatory reviews conducted for this rulemaking are those set 
forth in the July 2016 final rule that originally codified DOE's 
adopted test procedures for integrated LED lamps. The test procedures 
in the July 2016 final rule became effective August 1, 2016.
    Pursuant to the Administrative Procedure Act, 5 U.S.C. 553(b), DOE 
has determined that notice and prior opportunity for comment on this 
rule are unnecessary and contrary to the public interest. Neither the 
error nor the correction in this document affect the substance of the 
rulemaking or any of the conclusions reached in support of the final 
rule. For these reasons, DOE has also determined that there is good 
cause to waive the 30-day delay in effective date.
