The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is publishing this final rule to rescind and amend the certification provisions, labeling requirements, and enforcement provisions for specific types of consumer products and commercial/industrial equipment addressed in its final rule published in the Federal Register on October 9, 2024 (notified as G/TBT/N/USA/2053/Add.1). This action is necessary because the October 9, 2024 final rule was subject to a joint resolution of disapproval under the Congressional Review Act (CRA). The resolution was passed by both the U.S. House of Representatives and the Senate, and was subsequently signed into law by the President on May 9, 2025. As a result, the October 9, 2024 final rule has no force or effect. Accordingly, DOE has a non-discretionary duty to remove the associated provisions from the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR). Through this final rule, DOE is taking the necessary action to implement the rescission. Effective Date of this Rule: September 9, 2025.
