Environmental Management Site-Specific Advisory Board, Portsmouth, 66348-66349 [E9-29789]

Download as PDF 66348 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 239 / Tuesday, December 15, 2009 / Notices sroberts on DSKD5P82C1PROD with NOTICES Correction Factor = (Anti-sweat Heater Power μ System-loss Factor) μ (24 hours/1 day) μ (1 kW/1000 W) Continue by calculating the national average power in watts used by the antisweat heaters. This is done by totaling the product of constants A1–A10 multiplied by the respective heater watts used by a refrigerator operating in the median percent relative humidity for that band and the following standard refrigerator conditions: • ambient temperature of 72 °F; • fresh food (FF) average temperature of 45 °F; and • freezer (FZ) average temperature of 5 °F. Anti-sweat Heater Power = A1 * (Heater Watts at 5% RH) + A2 * (Heater Watts at 15% RH) + A3 * (Heater Watts at 25% RH) + A4 * (Heater Watts at 35% RH) + A5 * (Heater Watts at 45% RH) + A6 * (Heater Watts at 55% RH) + A7 * (Heater Watts at 65% RH) + A8 * (Heater Watts at 75% RH) + A9 * (Heater Watts at 85% RH) + A10 * (Heater Watts at 95% RH) As explained above, bands A1–A10 were selected as representative of humidity conditions in all U.S. households. Utilizing such weighed bands will allow the calculation of the national average energy consumption for each product. Based on the above, Electrolux proposes to test its new models as if the test procedure were modified to calculate the energy of the unit with the anti-sweat heaters in the on position as equal to the energy of the unit tested with the anti-sweat heaters in the off position plus the Anti-Sweat Heater Power times the System Loss Factor (expressed in KWH/YR). II. Application for Interim Waiver Pursuant to Department regulations, the Assistant Secretary will grant an Interim Waiver ‘‘if it is determined that the applicant will experience economic hardship if the Application for Interim Waiver is denied, if it appears likely that the Petition for Waiver will be granted, and/or the Assistant Secretary determines that it would be desirable for public policy reasons to grant immediate relief pending a determination on the Petition for Waiver.’’ 8 Although Electrolux would not experience economic hardship without a waiver of the test procedures—indeed, the alternate test procedure imposes an energy penalty—the DOE letter granting the Electrolux Interim Waiver recognized that: 8 10 CFR. § 430.27(g). VerDate Nov<24>2008 17:23 Dec 14, 2009 * * * public policy would favor granting Electrolux an Interim Waiver, pending determination of the Petition for Waiver. On February 27, 2008, DOE granted the General Electric Company (‘‘GE’’) a waiver from the refrigeratorfreezer test procedure because it takes neither ambient humidity nor adaptive technology into account. 73 FR 10425. The test procedure would not accurately represent the energy consumption of refrigerator-freezers containing relative humidity sensors and adaptive control anti-sweat heaters. This argument is equally applicable to Electrolux, which has products containing similar relative humidity sensors and anti-sweat heaters. Electrolux is seeking a very similar waiver to the one DOE granted to GE, with the same alternate test procedure, and it is very likely Electrolux’s Petition for Waiver will be granted. As Electrolux noted in its November 6, 2008, Petition for Waiver and Application for Interim Waiver, the Company could have designed its adaptive anti-sweat system so that the anti-sweat heaters showed no impact during energy testing. However, like GE and Whirlpool Corporation, Electrolux is following the intent of the regulations to more accurately represent the energy consumed by the new refrigerators when used in the home. Moreover, the adaptive anti-sweat system in the Electrolux models referenced above is identical or similar to those addressed by the March 3, 2009 Interim Waiver granted to Electrolux by the Department, and June 4, 2009, Federal Register notice.9 Accordingly, Electrolux respectfully submits that sufficient grounds exist for the Assistant Secretary to grant the Electrolux Application for Interim Waiver. III. Conclusion Electrolux urges the Assistant Secretary to grant its Petition for Waiver and Application for Interim Waiver to allow Electrolux to test its new refrigerator models as noted above. Granting Electrolux’s Petition for Waiver will encourage the introduction of advanced technologies while providing proper consideration of energy consumption. IV. Affected Persons Primarily affected persons in the refrigerator-freezer category include BSH Home Appliances Corp. (BoschSiemens Hausgerate GmbH), Equator, Fisher & Paykel Appliances Inc., GE Appliances, Haier America Trading, L.L.C., Heartland Appliances, Inc., 9 See Jkt 220001 PO 00000 supra note 2.

Electrolux will notify all these entities as required by the Department’s rules and provide them with a version of this Petition. Sincerely, Sheila A.
