## Abstract

The U.S. Department of Energy ("DOE") published a direct final rule to establish amended energy conservation standards for residential clothes washers in the Federal Register on March 15, 2024. DOE has determined that the comments received in response to the direct final rule do not provide a reasonable basis for withdrawing the direct final rule. Therefore, DOE provides this document confirming the effective and compliance dates of those standards. This document also clarifies the introductory notes to the appendices for the residential clothes washer test procedure to conform with the amended standards promulgated by direct final rule published on March 15, 2024.
