In the May 2012 final rule, DOE did not analyze small ECUACs and WCUACs with cooling capacity less than 65,000 Btu/h. 77 FR 28927, 28934
28937. For the July 2019 ECS RFI, DOE
identified a single manufacturer of ECUACs in this capacity range, and the models offered are single-phase equipment and appear to be predominantly marketed for residential applications in regions of the United States with hot and dry climates, suggesting that there are few if any shipments in other regions of the United States. 84 FR 36480, 36485. DOE
identified only two distinct product lines of WCUACs with cooling capacity less than 65,000 Btu/h, and DOEs examination of manufacturer literature for these WCUACs suggested that these

models do not comprise a significant share of the market for air conditioners in residential or commercial applications. Id.
The projected trends from the May 2012 final rule and those based on the updated data both generally show declines in shipments for small 65,000
and <135,000 Btu/h, large and very large WCUACs, and very large ECUACs.
The shipment levels under the 2019
constant projections are lower than the 2012 constant projections for small 65,000 and <135,000 Btu/h and large WCUACs and very large ECUACs. The 2019 constant projections for very large WCUACs are higher than the 2012
constant projections but lower than the 2012 trend projections. The 2019

WCUACs and ECUACs show a more stable level of shipments over the analysis period than the 2019 trend models, but are lower than the 2012
trend projection.
Given that DOE did not analyze ECUACs and WCUACs with cooling capacity less than 65,000 Btu/h for the May 2012 final rule, no comparisons to the current projections are possible. The current trended shipments projections for the small cooling capacity less than 65,000 Btu/h equipment classes reach 10 or fewer shipments by 2045.
In response to the September 2020
NOPD, UCA stated that the historical shipments data presented by DOE is not complete and asserted that the shipments data does not capture dozens of manufacturers that do not belong to
