Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 132 / Wednesday, July 10, 2013 / Notices ASKO is likely to succeed on the merits of its petition for waiver and that it is desirable for policy reasons to grant immediate relief. TKELLEY on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES IV. Interim Waiver Granted For the reasons stated above, DOE grants ASKO’s application for interim waiver from testing of its condensing clothes dryer product line. Therefore, it is ordered that: The application for interim waiver filed by ASKO is hereby granted for ASKO’s T744C, T754C, and T794C condensing clothes dryers. Until a final decision is made on its petition for waiver, ASKO shall not be required to test its T744C, T754C, and T794C condensing clothes dryers on the basis of the test procedure under 10 CFR part 430 subpart B, appendix D. DOE makes decisions on waivers and interim waivers for only those models specifically set out in the petition, not future models that may or may not be manufactured by the petitioner. ASKO may submit a new or amended petition for waiver and request for grant of interim waiver, as appropriate, for additional models of clothes dryers for which it seeks a waiver from the DOE test procedure. In addition, DOE notes that grant of an interim waiver or waiver does not release a petitioner from the certification requirements set forth at 10 CFR 430.62. Further, this interim waiver is conditioned upon the presumed validity of statements, representations, and documents provided by the petitioner. DOE may revoke or modify this interim waiver at any time upon a determination that the factual basis underlying the petition for waiver is incorrect, or upon a determination that the results from the alternate test procedure are unrepresentative of the basic models’ true energy consumption characteristics. V. Summary and Request for Comments Through today’s notice, DOE grants ASKO an interim waiver from the specified portions of the test procedure applicable to ASKO’s T744C, T754C, and T794C condensing clothes dryers and announces receipt of ASKO’s petition for waiver from those same portions of the test procedure. DOE publishes ASKO’s petition for waiver in its entirety pursuant to 10 CFR 430.27(b)(1)(iv). The petition contains no confidential information. DOE solicits comments from interested parties on all aspects of the petition. Pursuant to 10 CFR 430.27(b)(1)(iv), any person submitting written comments to DOE must also send a copy of such comments to the VerDate Mar<15>2010 17:42 Jul 09, 2013 Jkt 229001 petitioner. The contact information for the petitioner is: Mr. Michael Wasson, ASKO Appliances, Inc., P.O. Box 940609, Plano, TX 75094–0609. All submissions received must include the agency name and case number for this proceeding. Submit electronic comments in WordPerfect, Microsoft Word, Portable Document Format (PDF), or text (American Standard Code for Information Interchange (ASCII)) file format and avoid the use of special characters or any form of encryption. Wherever possible, include the electronic signature of the author. DOE does not accept telefacsimiles (faxes). According to 10 CFR 1004.11, any person submitting information that he or she believes to be confidential and exempt by law from public disclosure should submit two copies to DOE: One copy of the document including all the information believed to be confidential and one copy of the document with the information believed to be confidential deleted. DOE will make its own determination about the confidential status of the information and treat it according to its determination. Issued in Washington, DC, on July 3, 2013. Kathleen B. Hogan, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Energy Efficiency, Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy June 19, 2013 Dr. David Danielson Assistant Secretary, Energy Efficiency & Renewable Energy U.S. Department of Energy Mail Station EE–1 1000 Independence Avenue, SW Washington, DC 20585 Daivid.danielson@ee.doe.com Re: Petition of Waiver and Application for Interim Waiver, ASKO Condenser Dryers Dear Assistant Secretary Danielson, ASKO Appliances Inc. (ASKO) hereby submits this Petition of Waiver and Application for Interim Waiver, pursuant to 10 CFR 430.27, for new condenser clothes dryers. ASKO manufactures washers, dryers, and dishwashers sold in the United States. This petition and application based on the following major points: 1. ASKO’s petition for new dryer base models T744C, T754C, and T794C for introduction 2013. 2. Petitions for similar products issued to manufactures such as Miele, Bosch, and Whirlpool. 3. ASKO’s condenser dryers are the same concept and principle, except for external venting, in relation to the test procedures in 10 CFR, part 430, subpart B, appendix D Uniform Test Method for Measuring the Energy Consumption of Clothes Dryers. 4. The test procedure does not define or mention measuring the energy for condenser dryers. PO 00000 Frm 00038 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 41389 Additional information is that the same test performed on condenser and vented dryers and condenser dryers have virtually the same energy use as vented dryers. The lack of relief would impose an economic hardship by not allowing ASKO to compete with competition with similar products in USA. The petition and application warrants approval on the grounds of design characteristics that prevent the testing according to 10 CFR, part 430, subpart B, appendix D. ASKO would be available for any further discussions on the design and use of condenser dryers with DOE. Asko will notify all Clothes dryer manufactures of domestically marketed units known to ASKO of this petition and application by mail.
