Rulemaking for Automatic Commercial Ice Makers Energy Conservation Standard
The purpose of this rulemaking is to: 1) establish energy conservation standards for cube ice makers with capacities between 50 and 2,500 pounds per 24-hour period; and 2) determine whether to establish energy conservation standards for additional types of automatic commercial ice makers as well as ice makers with capacities greater than 2,500 pounds per 24-hour period. The existing standards were prescribed by the Energy Policy Act of 2005 (EPACT 2005) amendments to the Energy Policy and Conservation Act (EPCA). EPACT 2005 also authorizes the Department of Energy (DOE) to issue standards for other types of automatic commercial ice makers.
This Rulemaking is related to the Automatic Commercial Ice Makers Standard and Test Procedure.

The EPACT 2005 amendments to EPCA require DOE to conduct two cycles of rulemakings to determine whether to amend the standards for automatic commercial ice makers—both those prescribed by EPACT 2005 and those prescribed by DOE. (42 U.S.C. 6313(d)) In the first cycle, the subject of this rulemaking, DOE must publish a final rule establishing such amended standards by January 1, 2015, if DOE determines to amend the standards. (42 U.S.C. 6313(d)(3)(A))
