What would be an example of a small appliance as defined in the EPA Clean Air Act rules?

Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option C — a hermetically sealed water cooler with a 2 lb. refrigerant charge

EPA Clean Air Act guidelines define a small appliance as any pre-assembled, hermetically sealed unit with a charge of five pounds or less. A small water cooler with a two-pound charge clearly fits this specific regulatory classification.
