DOE ordered Ritemp Refrigeration, Inc. to pay a $6,000 civil penalty after finding Ritemp Refrieration had failed to certify that certain walk-in cooler and freezer components comply with the applicable energy conservation standards. The Order adopted a Compromise Agreement, which reflected settlement terms between DOE and Ritemp Refrigeration.
DOE alleged in a June 6, 2016 Notice of Proposed Civil Penalty that Ritemp Refrigeration had failed to certify certain walk-in coolers and freezers as compliant with the applicable energy conservation standards. DOE regulations require a manufacturer (which includes importers) to submit reports certifying that its products have been tested and meet the applicable energy conservation standards. The civil penalty notice advised the company of the potential penalties and DOE's administrative process, including the company's right to a hearing.
