- Nullifies the rule, preventing it from having any force or effect

Affected Parties and Impacts:
- Commercial businesses that use the affected refrigeration equipment would not be required to meet the new energy efficiency standards
- Potential impacts on energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions depending on the stringency of the nullified standards
