In this final rule, DOE adopts into the Code of Federal Regulations the definitions for “through-the-wall central air conditioner” and “through-the-wall central air conditioning heat pump” that were established in section 5 of the American Energy Manufacturing Technical Corrections Act. This final rule also removes the standards for air conditioners  that were superseded effective in 2006, and the now defunct references to the “through-the –wall air conditioner and heat pump” product class, including the definition and standards.
