Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 245 / Wednesday, December 22, 2010 / Rules and Regulations
Fifth Amendment to the U.S.
Constitution.
ACTION:
M. Section 32 of the Federal Energy
Administration Act of 1974
Under section 301 of the Department
of Energy Organization Act (Pub. L. 95–
91), the Department of Energy must
comply with section 32 of the Federal
Energy Administration Act of 1974
(Pub. L. 93–275), as amended by the
Federal Energy Administration
Authorization Act of 1977 (Pub. L. 95–
70). (15 U.S.C. 788) Section 32 provides
that where a proposed rule authorizes or
requires use of commercial standards,
the notice of proposed rulemaking must
inform the public of the use and
background of such standards. In
addition, section 32(c) requires DOE to
consult with the Department of Justice
and the Federal Trade Commission
concerning the impact of the
commercial or industry standards on
competition. This final rule to waive the
provisions of 42 U.S.C. 6297(c) in
certain circumstances is not a proposed
rule and does not authorize or require
the use of any commercial standards.
Therefore, no consultation with either
DOJ or FTC is required.
N. Congressional Notification
As required by 5 U.S.C. 801, DOE will
report to Congress on the promulgation
of today’s rule. The report will state that
it has been determined that the rule is
not a ‘‘major rule’’ as defined by 5 U.S.C.
804(2).
III. Approval of the Office of the
Secretary
The Secretary of Energy has approved
publication of this final rule.
Issued in Washington, DC, on December
15, 2010.

Final rule; technical correction.
The U.S. Department of
Energy (DOE) published a final rule on
March 23, 2009, promulgating energy
conservation standards for certain
electric motors as prescribed in the
Energy Policy and Conservation Act, as
amended by the Energy Independence
and Security Act. This document is
being issued to correct the energy
efficiency levels that DOE promulgated
for NEMA Design B general purpose
electric motors that, due to a drafting
error, are not consistent with statutory
requirements.
DATES: This technical correction is
effective as of December 22, 2010.

SUMMARY:
2007, by replacing the nominal full load
efficiency of ‘‘94.5’’ with ‘‘95.4.’’
II. Need for Correction
As published, the nominal full load
efficiency table at 10 CFR 431.25(f)
contains three values that deviate from
the requirements established by EPCA,
as amended by EISA 2007. To correct
this error, DOE is amending 10 CFR
431.25(f) to replace the current table
with a corrected table of values. In light
of the statutory requirement, the change
addressed by today’s document is
technical in nature. In addition, because
DOE does not have the discretion to
deviate from these statutorily-prescribed
requirements, DOE finds that there is
good cause under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B) to
not issue a separate notice to solicit
public comment on the changes
contained in this document. Issuing a
separate notice to solicit public
comments would be impractical,
unnecessary, and contrary to the public
interest.

I. Background
■
The Energy Policy and Conservation
Act (EPCA), as amended by section
313(b)(1)(B) of the Energy Independence
and Security Act (EISA 2007), requires
each National Electrical Manufacturers
Association (NEMA) Design B, general
purpose electric motor with a power
rating of more than 200 horsepower, but
not greater than 500 horsepower,
manufactured (alone or as a component
of another piece of equipment) after
December 19, 2010, to have a nominal
full load efficiency that is not less than
the values in NEMA Standard MG–1
(2006) Table 12–11. (42 U.S.C.
6313(b)(2)(D)) DOE codified this
requirement at 10 CFR 431.25(f). 74 FR
12058 (March 23, 2009)
It was recently discovered that the
efficiency levels under 10 CFR 431.25(f),
for NEMA Design B, six-pole open
motors rated 250, 300, and 350
horsepower are not consistent with the
EISA 2007 levels as prescribed. Today’s
final rule conforms these efficiency
levels with EPCA, as amended by EISA
