Clean Energy for New Federal Buildings and Major Renovations of
Federal Buildings; Stay; Correction
AGENCY: Federal Energy Management Program, Department of Energy.
ACTION: Final rule; stay; correction.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: On May 5, 2025, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) stayed the
compliance date for recently adopted energy performance standards for
certain new Federal buildings and Federal buildings undergoing major
renovations. This document corrects the uniform resource locator (URL)
provided to the implementation guidance that DOE is reviewing. DOE
updated the implementation guidance available on its website to
indicate that it is currently being reviewed, this required posting the
updated document using a new URL. This update does not affect the
substance of the rulemaking or the stay of the compliance date.
DATES: Effective May 27, 2025.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. Rick Mears, U.S. Department of
Energy, Office of the Under Secretary for Infrastructure, Federal
Energy Management Program, FEMP-1, 1000 Independence Avenue SW,
Washington, DC, 20585-0121. Phone: 240-278-5857. Email: <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#4e2d2b3c63272028213c232f3a2721200e263f602a212b60292138"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="fe9d9b8cd3979098918c939f8a979190be968fd09a919bd0999188">[email protected]</span></a>.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On May 5, 2025, DOE stayed the compliance
date for recently adopted energy performance standards for certain new
Federal buildings and Federal buildings undergoing major renovations.
90 FR 18911 (Compliance Date Stay). DOE noted that subsequent to
adopting the final rule, it issued a guidance document that provided
additional information related to the implementation of these energy
performance standards. DOE also provided a link to the implementation
guidance. Id. n2.
DOE has updated the implementation guidance document to include a
cover page that states that DOE is currently reviewing the document and
noting that the compliance date for the energy performance standards
has been stayed. Adding the cover page required DOE to use a new URL to
post the implementation guidance. Accordingly, the URL provided in the
Compliance Date Stay is no longer accurate.
DOE is issuing this correction to update the URL provided in n2.
Because this document would simply update an URL, without changing the
energy performance standards adopted, the changes addressed in this
document are technical in nature.
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 technical corrections contained in this
document. Issuing a separate notice to solicit public comment would be
unnecessary. As explained previously, the correction in this document
does not affect the substance of or any of the conclusions reached in
support of the final rule. Therefore, providing prior notice and an
opportunity for public comment on updating the URL to the
implementation guidance document does not change the substance of the
proposed energy performance standards serve no useful purpose.
Correction
In the Federal Register of May 5, 2025 (90 FR 18911) in FR Doc.
2025-07743, the following correction is made:
On page 18911, in the second column, in footnote 2, remove the
``<a href="https://www.energy.gov/sites/default/files/2025-03/clean-energy-rule_implementation-guidance_jan2025.pdf">https://www.energy.gov/sites/default/files/2025-03/clean-energy-rule_implementation-guidance_jan2025.pdf</a>'' and add in its place
``<a href="https://www.energy.gov/sites/default/files/2025-05/clean-energy-rule_implementation-guidance_may2025.pdf">https://www.energy.gov/sites/default/files/2025-05/clean-energy-rule_implementation-guidance_may2025.pdf</a>'' to update the URL provided
for the implementation guidance document.
