| flight | a continuous journey in the same aircraft or with one flight number that begins or ends at a U.S. airport. For example, if a carrier were to operate flight 100, a direct flight from San Francisco to Singapore with a stop in Hong Kong, the customer service plan applies to both segments of this flight with respect to U.S.-originating passengers. It would not apply to any Hong Kong originating passengers who board the aircraft there and go to Singapore. On the reverse routing, the plan would apply to passengers who board in Singapore or Hong Kong and travel to the U.S.; it would not apply to passengers boarding in Singapore whose destination is Hong Kong. Temporarily deplaning at the intermediate stop on a direct flight (Hong Kong in the above example) does not break the journey for purposes of the applicability of the customer service plan requirements for passengers who re-board and continue on that same flight operation. If an international passenger whose journey originates or terminates in the U.S. makes a connection to a flight with a different flight number, the carrier's customer service plan applies only to the direct flight to or from the U.S. In the case of change of gauge, all flight segments with the same flight number that begin or end in the U.S. are covered by the Customer Service Plan even if passengers must change aircraft due to a change of gauge. | United States | 76 FR 23109 |

Section 101.11(b)(2)(iii)(A)( 3 )( iii ) of the final rule requires that, for self-service beverages, calorie declarations must be accompanied by the term “fluid ounces” and, if applicable, the description of the cup size ( e.g., “small,” “medium”). For example, calories could be declared as “small Orange Fizz (12 fluid ounces)—150 calories.” Accordingly, the calorie declaration will provide information regarding the number of fluid ounces served, and in some cases, the size of the cup, along with the number of calories. Typically, self-service beverages are offered for sale, including listed or otherwise separated by price, based on size ( e.g., “small—$1.59,” “12 ounces—$1.59”), and the sizes are described using general descriptors ( e.g., “small,” “medium,” or “large,”) or by fluid ounces. Therefore, in such situations, consumers will have further context regarding the number of fluid ounces served in a self-service beverage, and, in some cases, the size of the cup. | United States | 79 FR 71155 |

| furnace | of a fan or blower.” 10 CFR 430.2. Separately, EPCA defines a “heat pump” as a product that (1) consists of one or more assemblies; (2) is powered by single phase electric current; (3) is rated below 65,000 Btu per hour; (4) utilizes an indoor conditioning coil, compressors, and refrigerant-to-outdoor-air heat exchanger to provide air heating; and (5) may also provide air cooling, dehumidifying, humidifying circulating, and air cleaning. (42 U.S.C. 6291(24)) DOE believes that the definition of “heat pump” in EPCA does not include electric furnaces, because electric furnaces do not meet all of the criteria of the “heat pump” definition (such as utilizing a compressor and refrigerant). (42 U.S.C. 6291(24)(D)) Further, DOE believes that because “heat pumps” are defined separately by EPCA, they are not included under the definition of a “furnace” under 42 U.S.C. 6291(23)(C), which states that a furnace is an electric central furnace, electric boiler, forced-air central furnace, gravity central furnace, or low pressure steam or hot water boiler. Because an electric central furnace utilizes heat “generated by one or more electric resistance elements,” a heat pump would not be covered under the definition of an “electric central furnace.” Once heat pump technology is added to an electric furnace, the product would no longer generate heat using an electric resistance element, but instead would use a refrigerant-to-outdoor-air heat exchanger to provide air heating. Such a change in the mechanism for generating heat would exclude the product from being covered as a furnace (as it would no longer be an “electric furnace” under the definition of a “furnace” in 42 U.S.C. 6291(23)(C)), and would instead cause it to be classified it as a heat pump, under EPCA's definitions. Therefore, DOE has concluded that it will not consider heat pump technology as a design option for electric furnaces in the analysis. | United States | 76 FR 37407 |
