Subject: Department of Energy: Energy Conservation Program: Energy Conservation
       Standards for Automatic Commercial Ice Makers

Pursuant to section 801 (a)(2)(A) of title 5, United States Code, this is our report on a
major rule promulgated by the Department of Energy (DOE) entitled Energy
Conservation Program: Energy Conservation Standards for Automatic Commercial Ice
Makers (RIN: 1904-AC39). We received the rule on January 28, 2015. It was
published in the Federal Register as a final rule on January 28, 2015, with a stated
effective date of March 30, 2015. 80 Fed. Reg. 4646.

The final rule adopts more-stringent energy conservation standards for some classes of
automatic commercial ice makers as well as establishes energy conservation standards
for other classes of automatic commercial ice makers. DOE has determined that the
amended energy conservation standards for these products would result in significant
conservation of energy and are technologically feasible and economically justified.

Enclosed is our assessment of DOE's compliance with the procedural steps required by
section 801 (a)(1)(B)(i) through (iv) of title 5 with respect to the rule. Our review of the
procedural steps taken indicates that DOE complied with the applicable requirements.
