Each petition requesting classification as a nationally recognized certification program must contain a narrative statement as to why the organization meets the above criteria, be accompanied by documentation that supports the narrative statement, and be signed by an authorized representative. 10 CFR 431.447(c). II. Discussion Pursuant to sections 431.447 and 431.448, on February 20, 2013, UL submitted to the Department a Petition for ‘‘Classification in Accordance with 10 CFR 431.447 and 431.448’’ (‘‘Petition’’ or ‘‘UL Petition’’). The Petition was accompanied by a cover letter from UL to the Department, containing five separate sections that included narrative statements for each— (1) Overview, (2) Standards and Procedures, (3) Independent Status, (4) Qualification of UL LCC and UL Verification Services, Inc. to Operate a Certification System, and (5) Expertise in Small Motor Test Procedures. In accordance with the requirements of § 431.448(b), DOE published UL’s petition in the Federal Register on May 16, 2013 and requested public comments. 78 FR 28812. In response to that notice, the National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA), a trade association representing manufacturers of electrical products including small electric motors, submitted comments to DOE in a letter dated June 17, 2013 (Comment response to the published Notice of Petition, No. 5). In these comments, NEMA cited several concerns regarding UL’s petition, listing them in the order in which DOE requested comments in the notice. UL then submitted a letter to DOE dated June 26, 2013 responding to NEMA’s comments (Comment responding to NEMA’s comments on UL petition, No. 6). As required by 10 CFR 431.448(d), DOE published on September 17, 2013 an interim notice of determination VerDate Mar<15>2010 20:41 Nov 29, 2013 Jkt 232001 regarding UL’s petition. 78 FR 57137. In that notice, DOE provided a description of the comments submitted by NEMA and the responses to those comments from UL. In reviewing the comments and responses, DOE found no cause to deny UL’s petition and concluded that UL could be classified as a nationally recognized certification program for small electric motors on an interim basis pending a 30-day period of public comment. Having received no comments on the interim determination, the Department hereby announces its final determination pursuant to 10 CFR 431.448(e) that UL is classified as a nationally recognized certification program for small electric motors. Issued in Washington, DC, on November 25, 2013. Kathleen B. Hogan, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Energy Efficiency, Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy.

Changes in the Estimates: There is an increase of 7,419 hours in the total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently approved by OMB. There is also an increase in capital/startup and O&M costs as compared to the previous ICR. All changes from the most recently approved ICR are due to an increase in the number of existing sources subject to the standard, and are not due to any program changes. The number of existing sources has been increased to account for industry growth that has occurred since the most recent ICR was approved. There is also an increase in respondent and Agency burden costs from the most-recently approved ICR due to the use of updated labor rates. This ICR references labor rates from the Bureau of Labor Statistics to calculate respondent burden costs, and references labor rates from OPM to calculate Agency burden costs.
