Energy Conservation Program: Test Procedures for Residential and Commercial Clothes Washers  
TITLE: Energy Conservation Program: Test Procedure for Cooking Products (notified separately)  
AGENCY: Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, Department of Energy  
ACTION: Final rule; technical correction  
SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of Energy ("DOE") is correcting the Code of Federal Regulations 
(CFR) following an incorrect amendatory instruction in a June 2022 final rul e (notified as 
USA/903/Rev.1/Add.2 , "Energy Conservation Program: Test Procedures for Residential and 
Commercial Clothes Washers", identified by Docket ID EERE-2016-BT-TP-0011). One of the 
instructions was intended to update the IEC 62301 Second Edition entry in the centralized 
Incorporated by Reference (IBR) section ( 10 CFR 430.3 (p)(6)). However, the amendatory instruction 
referenced paragraph (o) instead of paragraph (p). (See 87 FR 33380 .) This final rule corrects that 
error and also establishes a test procedure for a category of cooking products, i.e., conventional 
cooking tops under a new appendix, and has been notified as G/TBT/N/USA/1799/Add.3 . The new 
test procedure adopts the latest version of the relevant industry standard for electric cooking tops 
with modifications. The modifications adapt  the test method to gas cooking tops, normalize the 
energy use of each test cycle, include measurement of standby mode and off mode energy use, 
update certain test conditions, and clarify certain provisions. This final rule retitles the existing 
cooking pr oducts test procedure to specify that it is for microwave ovens only.  
DATES: The effective date of this rule is 21 September 2022.
