For the reasons stated in the preamble, DOE corrects part 430 of chapter II, subchapter D, of title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations by making the following correcting amendments:

2.
2.12 Full compressor speed full means the compressor speed at which the unit operates at full load test conditions, when using user settings with a unit thermostat setpoint of 75 F to achieve maximum cooling capacity, according to the instructions in ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 16
2016.

5.
5.1 Annual energy consumption in inactive mode and off mode. Calculate the annual energy consumption in inactive mode and off mode, AECia/om, expressed in kilowatt-hours per year kWh/year.
AECia/om = Pia tia + Pom tom Where:
AECia/om = annual energy consumption in inactive mode and off mode, in kWh/
year.
Pia = average power in inactive mode, in watts, determined in section 4.2 of this appendix.
Pom = average power in off mode, in watts, determined in section 4.2 of this appendix.
tia = annual operating hours in inactive mode and multiplied by a 0.001 kWh/Wh conversion factor from watt-hours to kilowatt-hours. This value is 5.115 kWh/
W if the unit has inactive mode and no off mode, 2.5575 kWh/W if the unit has both inactive and off mode, and 0 kWh/
W if the unit does not have inactive mode.
tom = annual operating hours in off mode and multiplied by a 0.001 kWh/Wh conversion factor from watt-hours to kilowatt-hours. This value is 5.115 kWh/
W if the unit has off mode and no inactive mode, 2.5575 kWh/W if the unit has both inactive and off mode, and 0
kWh/W if the unit does not have off mode.

ACTION:

Final rule; correction.

On December 16, 2020, the U.S. Department of Energy DOE
published a final rule adopting separate product classes for top-loading consumer residential clothes washers and consumer clothes dryers that offer cycle times for a normal cycle of less than 30 minutes, and for front-loading residential clothes washers that offer cycle times for a normal cycle of less than 45 minutes December 2020 final rule. This document corrects an omission in the amended regulatory text as it appeared in the December 2020
final rule. Neither the error nor the correction in this document affect the substance of the rulemaking or any conclusions reached in support of the final rule.

SUMMARY:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background DOE published a final rule in the Federal Register on December 16, 2020, establishing separate product classes for top-loading consumer residential clothes washers and consumer clothes dryers that offer cycle times for a normal cycle of less than 30 minutes, and for front-loading residential clothes washers that offer cycle times for a normal cycle of less than 45 minutes. 85
FR 81359. In a review of the December 2020 final rule, DOE identified an omission in the amended regulatory text for consumer clothes dryers.
Specifically, the regulatory text that establishes separate product classes for vented electric standard clothes dryers and vented gas clothes dryers with a cycle time of less than 30 minutes omitted the distinction that the 30minute cycle time is determined when conducting the test procedure at title 10
of the Code of Federal Regulations CFR, part 430, subpart B, appendix D2 appendix D2. This distinction was provided in the regulatory text of the notice of proposed rulemaking published on August 13, 2020 85 FR
