| TBT | United States of America | G/TBT/N/USA/566/Add.1 | TITLE: Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA) Accessibility Guidelines for Transportation VehiclesAGENCY: Architectural and Transportation Barriers Compliance Board\ACTION: Final ruleSUMMARY: The Architectural and Transportation Barriers Compliance Board (Access Board or Board) is issuing a final rule that revises its existing accessibility guidelines for non-rail vehicles--namely, buses, over-the-road buses, and vans--acquired or remanufactured by entities covered by the Americans with Disabilities Act. The revised guidelines ensure that such vehicles are readily accessible to, and usable by, individuals with disabilities. The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) is required to revise its accessibility standards for transportation vehicles acquired or remanufactured by entities covered by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) to be consistent with the final rule.DATES: The final rule is effective 13 January 2017. Compliance with the final rule is not required until DOT revises its accessibility standards for buses, over-the-road buses, and vans acquired or remanufactured by entities covered by the ADA to be consistent with the final rule.The incorporation by reference of one publication listed in the final rule was approved by the Director of the Federal Register as of 13 January 2017. | — | |
| TBT | United States of America | G/TBT/N/USA/787/Add.4 | TITLE: Energy Conservation Program: Test Procedures for Cooking ProductsAGENCY: Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, Department of EnergyACTION: Final ruleSUMMARY: On 22 August 2016, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) issued a supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking to amend the test procedure for conventional cooking products. That proposed rulemaking serves as the basis for this final rule. Specifically, this final rule amends DOE's test procedure for conventional electric cooking tops to incorporate by reference the relevant sections from European standard EN 60350-2:2013 "Household electric cooking appliances Part 2: Hobs-- Methods for measuring performance" (EN 60350-2:2013). This final rule also includes methods for testing non-circular electric surface units, electric surface units with flexible concentric cooking zones, and full-surface induction cooking tops based on EN 60350-2:2013. In addition, DOE extends the test methods in EN 60350-2:2013 to measure the energy consumption of gas cooking tops by correlating test equipment diameter to burner input rate, including input rates that exceed 14,000 British thermal units per hour. This final rule also includes methods to calculate annual energy consumption and integrated annual energy consumption for conventional cooking tops based on the water-heating test method and provides updates to the sampling plan requirements. The final rule includes minor technical clarifications to the gas heating value correction and other grammatical changes to the regulatory text in the cooking products test procedure that do not alter the substance of the existing test methods. This final rule also repeals the regulatory provisions establishing the test procedure for conventional ovens under the Energy Policy and Conservation Act. DOE has determined that the conventional oven test procedure does not accurately represent consumer use as it favors conventional ovens with low thermal mass and does not capture cooking performance-related benefits due to increased thermal mass of the oven cavity.DATES: The effective date of this rule is 17 January 2017. The final rule changes will be mandatory for representations of energy or power consumption of cooking products on or after 14 June 2017. The incorporation by reference of certain publications listed in this rule is approved by the Director of the Federal Register as of 17 January 2017. | — | |
