Correction

In proposed rule document 00-19723 beginning on page 48828 in the issue of Wednesday, August 9, 2000, make the following correction:

[Corrected]

On page 48837 and 48838, in §431.271, Tables 1 and 2 should read as follows:

TABLE 1.—Minimum Cooling Efficiency Levels
Product Category Cooling capacity Subcategory Efficiency Level 1
Small Commercial Packaged Air Conditioning and Heating Equipment Air Cooled, 3 Phase <65,000 Btu/h Split System Single Package SEER = 10.0 SEER = 9.7
  Air Cooled ≥65,000 Btu/h and <135,000 Btu/h All EER = 8.9
  Water Cooled Evaporatively Cooled, and Water-Source <65,000 Btu/h ≥65,000 Btu/h and <135,000 Btu/h All All EER = 9.3 EER = 10.5
Large Commercial Packaged Air Conditioning and Heating Equipment Air Cooled ≥135,000 Btu/h and <240,000 Btu/h All EER = 8.5
  Water-Cooled, and Evaporatively Cooled ≥135,000 Btu/h and <240,000 Btu/h All EER = 9.6
Packaged Terminal Air Conditioners and Heat Pumps All <7,000 Btu/h ≥7,000 Btu/h and ≤15,000 Btu/h >15,000 Btu/h All EER = 8.88 EER = 10.0−(0.16 × capacity [in thousands of Btu/h at 95° outdoor dry-bulb temperature]) EER = 7.6
1  All EER values must be rated at 95°F outdoor dry-bulb temperature for air-cooled products and evaporatively-cooled products and at 85°F entering water temperature for water-source and water-cooled products.
( printed page 63678)

TABLE 2.—MINIMUM HEATING EFFICIENCY LEVELS
Product Category Cooling capacity Subcategory Efficiency Level 2
Small Commercial Packaged Air Conditioning and Heating Equipment Air Cooled, 3 Phase <65,000 Btu/h Split System Single Package HSPF = 6.8 HSPF = 6.6
  Water-Source <135,000 Btu/h Split System and Single Package COP = 3.8
  Air Cooled ≥65,000 Btu/h and <135,000 Btu/h All COP = 3.0
Large Commercial Packaged Air Conditioning and Heating Equipment Air Cooled ≥135,000 Btu/h and <240,000 Btu/h Split System and Single Package COP = 2.9
Packaged Terminal Heat Pumps All All All COP = 1.3+(0.16 × the applicable minimum cooling EER prescribed in Table 1—Minimum Cooling Efficiency Levels)
2  All COP values must be rated at 47°F outdoor dry-bulb temperature for air-cooled products and evaporatively-cooled products and at 70°F entering water temperature for water-source products.

Correction

In rule document 00-25599 beginning on page 60101 in the issue of Tuesday, October 10, 2000, make the following corrections:

[Corrected]

1. On page 60102, in §52.1770 (c), in the table, in the section “Subchapter 2D—Air Pollution Control Requirements”, in the first line, the column for “State effective date” should read “1/15/98” and the column for “EPA approval date” should read “11/10/99”.

2. On page 60103, in the same section of the table, in the last line, in the column for “State effective date”, “Annual Emissions Reporting” should read “1/15/98”. The column for “EPA approval date” should read “11/10/99” and the column for “Comments” should read “*”.
