SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
DOE published a final rule in the Federal Register on September 8,
2022 (September 2022 Final Rule), amending the test procedure for
battery chargers. 87 FR 55090. This correction addresses numbering
errors in the amendatory language in that final rule.
First, DOE noted in the amendatory instructions that it was
replacing the text ``appendix Y'' with the text ``appendices Y and Y1''
in paragraph (p)(3) of 10 CFR 430.3 and replacing the text ``Y, Z''
with the text ``Y, Y1, Z'' in paragraph (p)(6) of 10 CFR 430.3.
However, these paragraphs have recently been redesignated to paragraphs
(p)(4) and (p)(7), respectively. Second, the instruction amending the
introductory text of appendix Y to subpart B instructs to revise a note
that does not currently exist. Instead, the instruction should have
said to ``add a note before the introductory text and revise the
introductory paragraph''. Finally, the instruction to revise the
definition of C-Rate in appendix Y erroneously refers to amending
section 2.1.0 when the instruction should have stated to amend section
2.10. of appendix Y to subpart B of part 430.
II. Need for Correction
As published, the regulatory text in September 2022 Final Rule may
result in confusion due to incorrect section references. Because this
final rule would simply correct errors in the text without making
substantive changes in the September 2022 Final Rule, the changes
addressed in this document are technical in nature.
III. Procedural Issues and Regulatory Review
DOE has concluded that the determinations made pursuant to the
various procedural requirements applicable to the September 2022 Final
Rule remain unchanged for this final rule technical correction. These
determinations are set forth in the September 2022 Final Rule. 87 FR
55090, 55117-55122.
Pursuant to the Administrative Procedure Act, 5 U.S.C. 553(b), DOE
finds that there is good cause to not issue a separate notice to
solicit public comment on the changes contained in this document.
Issuing a separate notice to solicit public comment would be
impracticable, unnecessary, and contrary to the public interest.
Neither the errors nor the corrections in this document affect the
substance of the September 2022 Final Rule or any of the conclusions
reached in support of the final rule. Providing prior notice and an
opportunity for public comment on correcting objective, typographical
errors that do not change the substance of the test procedure serves no
useful purpose.
Further, this rule correcting typographical errors makes non-
substantive changes to the test procedure. As such, this rule is not
subject to the 30-day delay in effective date requirement of 5 U.S.C.
553(d) otherwise applicable to rules that make substantive changes.
In final rule FR Doc. 2022-18717, published in the issue of
Thursday, September 8, 2022, (87 FR 55090), the following corrections
are made:
