View Rule

Pursuant to the Congressional Review Act, the U.S. Department of Energy withdraws a disapproved final rule that was published in the Federal Register on January 21, 2025. The final rule would have established amended energy conservation standards for commercial refrigerators, freezers, and refrigerator-freezers. The House and the Senate passed House Joint Resolution 75 (H.J.Res. 75), which disapproved DOE’s January 21, 2025 final rule under the Congressional Review Act (CRA; 5 U.S.C. 801-808). H.J.Res. 75 was sent to the President for signature on May 6, 2025, and it was subsequently signed by the President on May 9, 2025. Because the January 21, 2025 DOE final rule was disapproved, the Department withdrew the rule from the Federal Register because the rule no longer has force or effect.
