Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 57 / Monday, March 25, 2013 / Notices
water softener will minimize pre-rinsing
and rewashing, and consumers will
have less reason to periodically run
their dishwasher through a clean-up
cycle.
BSH also stated that the amount of
water consumed by the regeneration
operation of a water softener in a
dishwasher is very small, but that it
varies significantly depending on the
adjustment of the softener. The
regeneration operation takes place
infrequently, and the frequency is
related to the level of water hardness.
BSH included test results and
calculations showing the water and
energy use of the specified dishwasher
models using the same method as that
used by Whirlpool in its petition for
waiver, which was granted previously
by DOE. (75 FR 62127, Oct. 7, 2010).
Specifically, BSH requested that
constant values of 47.6 gallons per year
for water consumption and 8.0 kWh per
year for energy consumption be used.
DOE notes that use of industry
standard European Standard EN 50242,
‘‘Electric Dishwashers for Household
Use—Methods for Measuring the
Performance’’ would provide repeatable
results, but would underestimate the
energy and water use of the specified
models. If water consumption of a
regeneration operation were
apportioned across all cycles of
operation, manufacturers would need to
make calculations regarding average
water hardness and average water
consumptions due to regeneration
operations. In lieu of these calculations,
constant values could also be used to
approximate the energy and water use
due to softener regeneration. As noted
above, BSH provided data on the
constant values that should be added to
approximate the energy and water use of
the basic models listed in its petition
that have an integrated water softener.
Because of the variability in test
results described by BSH in its petition,
DOE has determined that testing the
basic models for which BSH has
requested a waiver according to the DOE
test procedure at appendix C may
evaluate the basic models in a manner
so unrepresentative of their true energy
and water consumption so as to provide
materially inaccurate comparative data.
As a result, and as described in Section
III, DOE grants BSH’s waiver subject to
use of the alternate test procedure
prescribed by DOE.
Consultations With Other Agencies
DOE consulted with the Federal Trade
Commission (FTC) staff concerning the
BSH petition for waiver. The FTC staff
did not have any objections to granting
a waiver to BSH.

III. Conclusion
After careful consideration of all the
material that was submitted by BSH and
consultation with the FTC staff, it is
ordered that:
(1) The petition for waiver submitted
by the BSH Corporation (Case No. DW–
009) is hereby granted as set forth in the
paragraphs below.
(2) BSH shall be required to test and
rate the following models according to
the alternate test procedure as set forth
in paragraph (3) below:
Bosch brand:
• Basic Model—SHX7PT####
• Basic Model—SHP7PT####
• Basic Model—SHE7PT####
• Basic Model—SHV7PT####
• Basic Model—SHX8PT####
• Basic Model—SHE8PT####
• Basic Model—SHE9PT####
• Basic Model—SHX9PT####
• Basic Model—SHV9PT####
• Basic Model—SGV63E####
Gaggenau brand:
• Basic Model—DF2417####
(3) BSH shall be required to test the
products listed in paragraph (2) above
according to the test procedures for
dishwashers prescribed by DOE at 10
CFR part 430, appendix C, except that,
for the BSH products listed in paragraph
(2) only:
In Section 4.1, Test cycle, add at the
end, ‘‘The start of the DOE test should
begin on a cycle immediately following
a regeneration cycle.’’
In Section 4.3, the water energy
consumption, W or Wg, is calculated
based on the water consumption as set
forth below:
§ 4.3 Water consumption. Measure
the water consumption, V, expressed as
the number of gallons of water delivered
to the machine during the entire test
cycle, using a water meter as specified
in section 3.3 of this Appendix.
Where the regeneration of the water
softener depends on demand and water
hardness, and does not take place on
every cycle, BSH shall measure the
water consumption of dishwashers
having water softeners without
including the water consumed by the
dishwasher during softener
regeneration. If a regeneration operation
takes place within the test, the water
consumed by the regeneration operation
shall be disregarded when declaring
water and energy consumption.
Constant values of 47.6 gallons/year of
water and 8 kWh/year of energy shall be
added to the values measured by
appendix C.
(4) Representations. BSH may make
representations about the energy use of
its dishwashers containing integrated or
built-in water softeners for compliance,
PO 00000
Frm 00009
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
marketing, or other purposes only to the
extent that such products have been
tested in accordance with the provisions
outlined above and such representations
fairly disclose the results of such
testing.
(5) This waiver shall remain in effect
consistent with the provisions of 10 CFR
430.27(m). The dishwasher test
procedure final rule, issued on
September 14, 2012 and available at
https://www1.eere.energy.gov/buildings/
appliance_standards/pdfs/aham1_tp_final_rule.pdf, includes procedures
to measure the energy and water use of
integrated or built-in water softeners.
The compliance date for these
procedures is May 30, 2013. Therefore,
this Decision and Order is valid through
May 29, 2013. Beginning on May 30,
2013, all manufacturers must use the
amended test procedures to determine
the energy and water use associated
with water softener regeneration.
(6) This waiver is granted for only
those models specifically set out in
BSH’s petition, not future models that
may be manufactured by BSH. BSH may
submit a new or amended petition for
waiver and request for grant of interim
waiver, as appropriate, for additional
dishwasher models for which it seeks a
waiver from the DOE test procedure.
Grant of this waiver also does not
release BSH from the certification
requirements set forth at 10 CFR part
429.
(7) This waiver is issued on the
condition that the statements,
representations, and documentary
materials provided by the petitioner are
valid. DOE may revoke or modify this
waiver at any time if it determines the
factual basis underlying the petition for
waiver is incorrect, or the results from
the alternate test procedure are
unrepresentative of the basic models’
true energy consumption characteristics.
Issued in Washington, DC, on March 19,
2013.

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Energy
Efficiency, Energy Efficiency and Renewable
Energy.
