Combined Notice of Filings, 53449 [2013-21080]

Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 168 / Thursday, August 29, 2013 / Notices
effect pursuant to the provisions of 10
CFR 430.27(m).
On May 10, 2013, BSH filed a petition
for waiver from the test procedures
applicable to its Bosch WTB86200UC,
WTB86201UC, and WTB86202UC
product models of condensing clothes
dryer. The applicable test procedure is
contained in 10 CFR part 430, subpart
B, appendix D—Uniform Test Method
for Measuring the Energy Consumption
of Clothes Dryers. BSH seeks a waiver
from the applicable test procedure for
its Bosch WTB86200UC, WTB86201UC,
and WTB86202UC product models
because, BSH asserts, design
characteristics of these models prevent
testing in accordance with the currently
prescribed test procedure, as described
in greater detail in the following
paragraph.
In support of its petition, BSH claims
that the current clothes dryer test
procedure applies only to vented
clothes dryers because the test
procedure requires the use of an exhaust
restrictor on the exhaust port of the
clothes dryer during testing. Because
condenser clothes dryers operate by
blowing air through the wet clothes,
condensing the water vapor in the
airstream, and pumping the collected
water into either a drain line or an inunit container, these products do not
use an exhaust port like a vented dryer
does. BSH plans to market a condensing
clothes dryer for situations in which a
conventional vented clothes dryer
cannot be used, such as high-rise
apartments and condominiums, where
construction and building design do not
permit the use of external venting.

Assertions and Determinations
BSH’s Petition for Waiver
On May 10, 2013, BSH filed a petition
for waiver from the test procedure
applicable to residential clothes dryers
set forth in 10 CFR part 430, subpart B,
appendix D for particular models of
condensing clothes dryer. On June 19,
2013, DOE published BSH’s petition for
waiver and granted BSH an interim
waiver from the current test procedure.
(78 FR 36760) DOE did not receive any
comments on the BSH petition. DOE
previously granted BSH a waiver from
test procedures for two similar
condenser clothes dryer models. (76 FR
33271, June 8, 2011)) DOE also granted
waivers for the same type of clothes
dryer to LG Electronics (73 FR 66641,
Nov. 10, 2008), Whirlpool Corporation
(74 FR 66334, Dec. 15, 2009), General
Electric (75 FR 13122, Mar. 18, 2010),
and Miele Appliance, Inc. (60 FR 9330,
Feb. 17, 1995; 76 FR 17637, Mar. 30,
2011). BSH claims that its condenser
VerDate Mar<15>2010

Jkt 229001
clothes dryers cannot be tested pursuant
to the current test procedure and
requests that the same waiver granted to
other manufacturers be granted for
BSH’s Bosch WTB86200UC,
WTB86201UC, and WTB86202UC
models.
Therefore, for the reasons discussed
above, and in light of the previous
waivers to other manufacturers, DOE
grants BSH’s petition for waiver from
testing of its Bosch WTB86200UC,
WTB86201UC, and WTB86202UC
condenser clothes dryers.
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.
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 BSH, Inc. (Case No. CD–007) is
hereby granted as set forth in the
paragraphs below.
(2) BSH shall not be required to test
or rate its Bosch WTB86200UC,
WTB86201UC, and WTB86202UC
condensing clothes dryer models on the
basis of the test procedures at 10 CFR
part 430, subpart B, appendix D.
(3) This waiver shall remain in effect
from the date this decision and order
consistent with the provisions of 10 CFR
430.27(m).
(4) 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.
(5) This waiver applies to only those
models specifically set out in BSH’s
petition. BSH 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.
Grant of this petition for waiver also
does not release a petitioner from any
applicable certification requirements set
forth at 10 CFR Part 429.
Issued in Washington, DC, on August 23,
2013.
