Summary
• A Dishwasher built by BSH with an
integrated water softener in a home
with a 12.6 grain per gallon water
hardness would be cycled through the
water softening regeneration process
approximately every 6 dish cleaning
cycles. When the water used in the
water softener regeneration process is
apportioned evenly over all
dishwasher runs, the amount of
energy and water usage per cycle is
very low. Based on the assumptions
provided, BSH estimates the typical
water used in the internal Dishwasher
water softener regeneration process at
.84 liters (.22 gallons) per use;
furthermore, using about 8.0 kWh per
year to heat this water in the home
hot water heater.

3. Requirements sought to be waived
Dishwashers are subjected to test
methods outlined in 10 CFR Part 430,
Subpart B, App. C, Section 4.3, which
specifies the method for the water
energy calculation.
• BSH is requesting approval to
estimate the water and energy used in
the water softening process based on
the design of the BSH Dishwasher and
the calculations and assumptions
outlined above.
4. Grounds for Waiver and Interim
Waiver
10 CFR 430.27 (a)(1) provides that a
Petition to waive a requirement of
430.23 may be submitted upon grounds
that the basic model contains one or
more design characteristics which either
prevent testing of the basic model
according to the prescribed test
procedures, or the prescribed test
procedures may evaluate the basic
model in a manner so unrepresentative
of its true energy consumption
characteristics as to provide materially
inaccurate comparative data.
If a water softener regeneration
process was to occur while running an
energy test, the water usage would be
overstated. In this case, the water energy
VerDate Mar<15>2010

Jkt 229001
usage would be unrepresentative of the
product providing inaccurate data
resulting in a competitive disadvantage
to BSH.
Granting of an Interim Waiver in this
case is justified since the prescribed test
procedures would potentially evaluate
the basic model in a manner so
unrepresentative of its true energy
consumption characteristics as to
provide materially inaccurate
comparative data. In addition, a similar
Interim Waiver and Waiver have
previously been granted to BSH.

Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 250 / Monday, December 31, 2012 / Notices
OMB Control No.: 1902–0075.
Type of Request: Three-year extension
of the Form No. 556 information
collection requirements with no changes
to the current reporting requirements.
Abstract: The Commission requires
the Form No. 556 to implement the
statutory provisions in Sections 201 and
210 of the Public Utility Regulatory
Policies Act of 1978 (PURPA).1 FERC is
authorized to encourage cogeneration
and small power production and to
prescribe such rules as necessary in
order to carry out the statutory
directives.
A primary statutory objective is the
conservation of energy through efficient
use of energy resources and facilities by
electric utilities. One means of
achieving this goal is to encourage
production of electric power by
cogeneration facilities which make use
of reject heat associated with
commercial or industrial processes, and
by small power production facilities
which use other wastes and renewable
resources. PURPA, encourages the
development of small power production
facilities and cogeneration facilities
which meet certain technical and
corporate criteria through establishment
of various regulatory benefits. Facilities
• Provide certain interconnection and
transmission services priced on a
nondiscriminatory basis;
• Operate in ‘‘parallel’’ with other
interconnected QFs so that they may be
electrically synchronized with electric
utility grids; and
• Make available to the public
avoided cost information and system
capacity needs.
18 CFR Part 292 exempts QFs from
certain corporate, accounting, reporting
and rate regulation requirements,
certain state laws and in certain
instances, regulation under the Federal
Power Act 3 and the Public Utility
Holding Company Act of 2005.4
Type of Respondents: Respondents to
the Form No. 556 are cogeneration
facilities and small power producers
with a generating capacity greater than
1Megawatt (MW) who are self-certifying
their status as a cogenerator facility or
small power producer facility or who
are submitting an application for FERC
certification of their status as a
cogenerator facility.
Estimate of Annual Burden 5: The
Commission estimates the total Public
Reporting Burden for this information
collection as:
that meet these criteria are called
Qualifying Facilities or QFs.
FERC’s regulations 2 specify:
• The certification procedures which
must be followed by owners or
operators of small power production
and cogeneration facilities;
• The criteria which must be met;
• The information which must be
submitted to FERC in order to obtain
qualifying status;
• The PURPA benefits which are
available to QFs to encourage small
power production and cogeneration;
and
• The requirements pertaining to
PURPA implementation plans regarding
the transaction obligations that electric
utilities have with respect to QFs.
Among PURPA provisions in Part 292
are requirements for electric utilities to:
• Purchase energy and capacity from
QFs favorably priced on the basis of the
avoided cost of the power that is
displaced by the QF power (i.e. the
incremental cost to the purchasing
utility if it had generated the displaced
power or purchased it from another
source);
• Sell backup, maintenance and other
power services to QFs at rates based on
the cost of rendering the services;

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Report of Transmission
Investment Activity.
OMB Control No.: 1902–0239.
Type of Request: Three-year extension
of the FERC–730 information collection
requirements with no changes to the
current reporting requirements.
Abstract: Pursuant to Section 219 1 of
the Federal Power Act, the Commission
issued FERC Order No. 679,2 Promoting
Transmission Investment Through
Pricing Reform. Order No. 679 FERC
amended its regulations in 18 CFR 35.35
to establish incentive-based (including
performance-based) rate treatments for
the transmission of electric energy in
interstate commerce by public utilities.
The Commission intended the order to
benefit consumers by ensuring
reliability and to reduce the cost of
delivered power by reducing
transmission congestion. Order No. 679
also adopted an annual reporting
requirement (FERC–730) for utilities
that receive incentive rate treatment for
specific transmission projects. The
FERC–730 provides annual data on
transmission capital expenditures as
77069
well as project status detail. The
Commission requires that filers specify
which projects are currently receiving
incentives in the project detail table and
that they group together those facilities
receiving the same incentive.
Specifically, in accordance with the
statute, public utilities with incentive
rates must file:
• Actual transmission investment for
the most recent calendar year, and
projected, incremental investments for
the next five calendar years (in dollar
terms); and
• A project by project listing that
specifies for each project the most up to
date, expected completion date,
percentage completion as of the date of
filing, and reasons for delays for all
current and projected investments over
the next five calendar years. Projects
with projected costs less than $20
million are excluded from this listing.
To ensure that Commission rules are
successfully meeting the objectives of
Section 219, the Commission collects
industry data, projections and related
information that detail the level of
investment. FERC–730 information
regarding projected investments as well
as information about completed projects
allows the Commission to monitor the
success of the transmission pricing
reforms and to determine the status of
critical projects and reasons for delay.
Type of Respondents: Public utilities
that have been granted incentive based
rate treatment for specific transmission
projects under the provisions of 18 CFR
35.35(h) must file the FERC–730.
