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.
