ACIM and WIC/F final rules expected before year-end 

Final energy-efficiency standards for Commercial Refrigeration Equipment (CRE), Automatic Commercial Ice Makers (ACIM) and Walking Coolers/Freezers are with the White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and expected to be issued in December. While these standards are subject to statutory review every six years, any rules issued after May 22 could be subject to the Congressional Review Act if requested by the incoming congress. NAFEM is arranging a meeting with OMB to discuss the CRE standard.
