[Case No. RF–032]
In
accordance with Title 10 of the Code of
Federal Regulations (10 CFR 430.27(l)),
DOE gives notice of the issuance of its
decision and order as set forth below.
The decision and order grants Samsung
with a waiver from the applicable
residential refrigerator and refrigeratorfreezer test procedures in 10 CFR part
430, subpart B, appendix A1 for certain
basic models of refrigerator-freezers
with multiple defrost cycles, provided
that Samsung tests and rates such
products using the alternate test
procedure described in this notice.
Today’s decision prohibits Samsung
from making representations concerning
the energy efficiency of these products
unless the product has been tested in a
manner consistent with the provisions
and restrictions in the alternate test
procedure set forth in the decision and
order below, and the representations
fairly disclose the test results.
Distributors, retailers, and private
labelers are held to the same standard
when making representations regarding
the energy efficiency of these products.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Decision and Order Granting a Waiver
to Samsung From the Department of
Energy Residential Refrigerator and
Refrigerator-Freezer Test Procedures
Office of Energy Efficiency and
Renewable Energy, Department of
Energy.
ACTION: Decision and Order.
AGENCY:
The U.S. Department of
Energy (DOE) gives notice of its decision
and order in Case No. RF–032 that
grants to Samsung Electronics America,
Inc. (Samsung) a waiver from the DOE
electric refrigerator and refrigeratorfreezer test procedures for specific basic
models set forth in its petition for
waiver. In its petition, Samsung
provides an alternate test procedure that
is identical to the test procedure DOE
published in a final rule dated January
25, 2012 (77 FR 3559) that
manufacturers will be required to use
starting in 2014. Under today’s decision
and order, Samsung shall be required to
test and rate these refrigerator-freezers
using an alternate test procedure as
adopted in that January 2012 final rule,
which accounts for multiple defrost
cycles when measuring energy
consumption.
SUMMARY:
This Decision and Order is
effective November 1, 2013.
