The Department of Energy on Thursday delayed a regulation on commercial refrigerators and freezers, the latest step in the Trump administration’s rollbacks of Biden-era appliance rules.
The delay moves the effective date for the Biden administration regulation from March 24 to May 20.
The Biden team publicized the regulation in late December. It wasn’t published in the Federal Register until Jan. 21, the day after President Donald Trump took office.

DOE’s notice Thursday says the delay is “necessary to give DOE officials the opportunity for further review and consideration of new regulations, consistent with” an Inauguration Day freeze on regulations.
