Compliance Testing Procedures: Correction Factor for Room Air Conditioners
Document Number: 2011-8588
Type: Proposed Rule
Date: 2011-04-11
Agency: Department of Energy
On November 15, 2010, the Department of Energy (DOE) received a petition for rulemaking from the Association of Home Appliance Manufacturers (AHAM). The petition requests the initiation of a rulemaking regarding compliance testing procedures for room air conditioners. The petition seeks temporary enforcement forbearance, or in the alternative, a temporary, industry-wide waiver or guidance, to allow the use of a data correction factor in compliance testing procedures for room air conditioners. In this document, DOE denies the petition as moot because the amended test procedure for room air conditioners and clothes dryers incorporates use of the correction factor requested in the AHAM petition.

Energy Conservation Program for Consumer Products: Decision and Order Granting 180-Day Extension of Compliance Date for Residential Furnaces and Boilers Test Procedure Amendments; Correction
Document Number: 2011-8572
Type: Rule
Date: 2011-04-11
Agency: Department of Energy
On March 31, 2011, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) published a Decision and Order in the Federal Register which granted 27 companies submitting petitions before the required date (i.e., by February 17, 2011), a 180-day extension of the compliance date for recent amendments to the DOE test procedure for residential furnaces and boilers related to the standby mode and off mode energy consumption of these products. Recently, DOE received a petition dated February 17, 2011 from a 28th manufacturer, Viessmann Manufacturing Company, Inc., in which the manufacturer also requested the above-referenced 180-day extension. Although DOE received this petition well after February 17, 2011, the Department believes a number of factors, including international postal handling and Federal mail security screening, contributed to the delay in receipt of this petition. After review, DOE has decided to grant the petition. However, DOE was not able to include its determination regarding this petition in its March 31, 2011 Decision and Order, because publication was already underway. Through this correction notice, DOE is modifying its Decision and Order to add Viessmann Manufacturing Company, Inc., to the list of companies to whom the extension of the compliance date has been granted.
