Title: Rule Concerning Energy and Water Use Labeling for Consumer Products | |
Abstract:
On April 10, 2020, the Commission issued a notice seeking comments on proposed amendments that would establish EnergyGuide labels for portable air conditioners. 85 FR 20218 (April 10, 2020). The proposed amendments also sought comment on changes to energy efficiency descriptors for central air conditioners to conform to upcoming Department of Energy changes. The comment period closed on June 9, 2020. On February 12, 2021, the Commission published a final rule that establishes EnergyGuide labels for portable air conditioners and requires manufacturers to label portable air conditioner units produced after October 1, 2022. 86 FR 9274 (Feb. 12, 2021). The Commission also updated the Rule to conform with new DOE energy descriptors for central air conditioner units that will become effective on January 1, 2023. Staff anticipates that the Commission will propose updates to comparability ranges and sample labels for central air conditioners during the early Summer of 2021. |
