(2) Alternative efficiency determination methods. In lieu of testing, a represented value of efficiency or consumption for a basic model of commercial packaged boiler must be determined through the application of an AEDM pursuant to the requirements of § 429.70 and the provisions of this section, where: (i) Any represented value of energy consumption or other measure of energy use of a basic model for which consumers would favor lower values shall be greater than or equal to the output of the AEDM and less than or equal to the Federal standard for that basic model; and (ii) Any represented value of energy efficiency or other measure of energy consumption of a basic model for which consumers would favor higher values shall be less than or equal to the output of the AEDM and greater than or equal to the Federal standard for that basic model. (b) Certification reports. (1) The requirements of § 429.12 are applicable to commercial packaged boilers; and (2) Pursuant to § 429.12(b)(13), a certification report must include the following public equipment-specific information: The combustion efficiency in percent (%) or the thermal efficiency in percent (%), as required in § 431.87 of this chapter; and the maximum rated input capacity in British thermal units per hour (Btu/h). (3) Pursuant to § 429.12(b)(13), a certification report must include the following additional equipment-specific information: (i) Whether the basic model is engineered-to-order; and (ii) For any basic model rated with an AEDM, whether the manufacturer elects the witness test option for verification testing. (See § 429.70(c)(5)(iii) for options). However, the manufacturer may not select more than 10% of AEDM-rated basic models to be eligible for witness testing. (4) Pursuant to § 429.12(b)(13), a certification report may include supplemental testing instructions in PDF format. A manufacturer may also VerDate Mar<15>2010 15:36 May 02, 2014 Jkt 232001 include with a certification report other supplementary items in PDF format (e.g., manuals) for DOE consideration in performing testing under subpart C of this part. (c) Alternative methods for determining efficiency or energy use for commercial packaged boilers can be found in § 429.70. ■ 10. Section 429.70 is amended by revising the section heading and the heading of paragraph (c) to read as follows: ACTION: This rule is being published as a direct final rule as the Department of Defense does not expect to receive any adverse comments, and so a proposed rule is unnecessary.

This direct final rule makes no substantive changes to the Office of Inspector General Privacy Program rules. These changes will allow the Department to add an exemption rule to the Office of Inspector General Privacy Program rules that will exempt applicable Department records and/or material from certain portions of the Privacy Act. This will improve the efficiency and effectiveness of DoD’s program by preserving the exempt status of the applicable records and/or material when the purposes underlying the exemption(s) are valid and necessary. Direct Final Rule and Significant Adverse Comments DoD has determined this rulemaking meets the criteria for a direct final rule because it involves nonsubstantive changes dealing with DoD’s management of its Privacy Programs. DoD expects no opposition to the changes and no significant adverse comments. However, if DoD receives a significant adverse comment, the Department will withdraw this direct final rule by publishing a notice in the Federal Register. A significant adverse comment is one that explains: (1) Why the direct final rule is inappropriate, including challenges to the rule’s underlying premise or approach; or (2) why the direct final rule will be ineffective or unacceptable without a change. In determining whether a comment necessitates withdrawal of this direct final rule, DoD will consider whether it warrants a substantive response in a notice and comment process. § 429.70 Alternative methods for determining energy efficiency and energy use. * * * * * (c) Alternative efficiency determination method (AEDM) for commercial HVAC (includes commercial warm air furnaces and commercial packaged boilers), WH, and refrigeration equipment—(1) * * * * * * * * [FR Doc. 2014–10085 Filed 5–2–14; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 6450–01–P DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE Office of the Secretary 32 CFR Part 312 [Docket ID: DoD–2014–OS–0060] Privacy Act of 1974; Implementation AGENCY: Office of Inspector General, DoD.

and/or material when the purposes underlying the exemption(s) are valid 
and necessary.
    This rule is being published as a direct final rule as the 
Department of Defense does not expect to receive any adverse comments, 
and so a proposed rule is unnecessary.

DATES: This rule will be effective on July 14, 2014 unless adverse 
comment is received by July 7, 2014. If adverse comment is received, 
the Department of Defense will publish a timely withdrawal of the rule 
in the Federal Register.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Direct Final Rule and Significant Adverse Comments

    DoD has determined this rulemaking meets the criteria for a direct 
final rule because it involves nonsubstantive changes dealing with 
DoD's management of its Privacy Programs. DoD expects no opposition to 
the changes and no significant adverse comments. However, if DoD 
receives a significant adverse comment, the Department will withdraw 
this direct final rule by publishing a notice in the Federal Register. 
A significant adverse comment is one that explains: (1) Why the direct 
final rule is inappropriate, including challenges to the rule's 
underlying premise or approach; or (2) why the direct final rule will 
be ineffective or unacceptable without a change. In determining whether 
a comment necessitates withdrawal of this direct final rule, DoD will 
consider whether it warrants a substantive response in a notice and 
comment process.
