## Abstract

The Department of Energy (Department or DOE) today promulgates test procedures for measuring the energy consumption of an externally vented refrigerator and externally vented refrigerator-freezer, a technological innovation which is not covered by the existing test procedures. Today's final rule does not change the test procedures applicable to refrigerator and refrigerator-freezer designs without external venting.
