products in a manner that would ‘‘truly
represent the energy-consumption
characteristics of these products’’ and
offered an alternate test procedure that
Sanyo E&E Corporation (Sanyo), now
Panasonic Appliances Refrigeration
Systems Corporation of America
(PAPRSA), used in prior waiver
requests. See 77 FR 49443 (Aug. 16,
2012) and 78 FR 57139 (Sept. 17, 2013).
(On October 4, 2012, a correction notice
to the August 16, 2012 Decision and
Order was published. See 77 FR 60688.)
These earlier decisions incorporated a K
factor (correction factor) value of 0.85
when calculating the energy
consumption of a tested model (77 FR
60688). Sub-Zero requested that it be
permitted to apply the same procedure
when testing the energy usage of its
hybrid refrigerated storage-wine storage
models.
Against this background, DOE had
previously issued guidance in 2011 that
clarified the test procedures to be used
for hybrid products such as the SubZero models at issue. That guidance is
available at the following link: https://
www1.eere.energy.gov/buildings/
appliance_standards/pdfs/
hybridwinechiller_faq2_2011-02-10.pdf.
The guidance specifies that basic
models that do not have a separate wine
storage compartment with a separate
exterior door, such as those models
identified in Sub-Zero’s petition, are to
be tested using the DOE test procedure
in Appendix A, with the temperatures
specified therein. Sub-Zero’s waiver
request seeks to replace the application
of this general guidance with the more
recent and specific approach outlined in
determinations for similar hybrid
products offered by Sanyo and PAPRSA
when measuring the efficiency of these
products.
Sub-Zero also requested an interim
waiver from the existing DOE test
procedure, which DOE granted. See 79
FR at 55774. An interim waiver may be
granted if it is determined that the
applicant will experience economic
hardship if the application for interim
waiver is denied, if it appears likely that
the petition for waiver will be granted,
and/or the Assistant Secretary
determines that it would be desirable for
public policy reasons to grant
immediate relief pending a
determination of the petition for waiver.
See 10 CFR 430.27(e)(2).
DOE did not receive any comments on
the Sub-Zero petition. However, on
January 16, 2015, Sub-Zero via email to
DOE indicated that there was an error in
their waiver submission pertaining to
the Wine Energy equation which had a
set of parentheses missing and should
be the same equation as requested by

Panasonic Appliances Refrigeration
Systems Corporation of America
(PAPRSA) in the Extension of Waiver
(Case No. RF–041) published in the
Federal Register on September 17, 2014.
79 FR 55769. DOE has reviewed the
alternate procedure and believes that it
will allow for the accurate measurement
of the energy use of these products,
while alleviating the testing problems
associated with Sub-Zero’s hybrid
refrigerator basic model.
III. Consultations With Other Agencies
DOE consulted with the Federal Trade
Commission (FTC) staff concerning the
Sub-Zero petition for waiver. The FTC
staff did not have any objections to
granting a waiver to Sub-Zero.
IV. Conclusion
After careful consideration of all the
material that was submitted by Sub-Zero
and consultation with the FTC staff, it
is ordered that:
(1) The petition for waiver submitted
by Sub-Zero Group, Inc. (Case No. RF–
040) is hereby granted as set forth in the
paragraphs below.
(2) Sub-Zero shall be required to test
and rate the following Sub-Zero models
according to the alternate test procedure
set forth in paragraph (3) below.
IW–30R
(3) Sub-Zero shall be required to test
the products listed in paragraph (2)
above according to the test procedures
for electric refrigerator-freezers
prescribed by DOE at 10 CFR part 430,
appendix A, except that, for the SubZero product listed in paragraph (2)
only, with a standardized temperature
for the wine chiller compartment of 55
°F, instead of the prescribed 39 °F. SubZero shall also use the K factor
(correction factor) value of 0.85 when
calculating the energy consumption of
the model listed and calculate the
energy consumption of this model as
follows:
Energy consumption is defined by the
higher of the two values calculated by
the following two formulas (according
to 10 CFR part 430, subpart B, Appendix
A):
Energy consumption of the wine
compartment:
EWine = (ET1 + [(ET2¥ET1) × (55
°F¥TW1)/(TW2¥TW1)]) × 0.85
Energy consumption of the
refrigerated beverage compartment:
ERefrigerated Compartment = ET1 +
[(ET2¥ET1) × (39 °F¥TRC1)/
(TRC2¥TRC1)].
(4) Representations. Sub-Zero may
make representations about the energy
use of its hybrid refrigerated ‘‘storagewine storage’’ products for compliance,

marketing, or other purposes only to the
extent that such products have been
tested in accordance with the provisions
outlined above and such representations
fairly disclose the results of such
testing.
(5) This waiver shall remain in effect
consistent with the provisions of 10 CFR
430.27(l).
(6) 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, or the results from
the alternate test procedure are
unrepresentative of the basic models’
true energy consumption characteristics.
(7) This waiver applies only to those
basic models set out in Sub-Zero’s May
19, 2014 petition for waiver. Grant of
this waiver does not release a petitioner
from the certification requirements set
forth at 10 CFR part 429.
Issued in Washington, DC, on February 4,
2015.

Pursuant to section 157.9 of the
Commission’s rules, 18 CFR 157.9,
within 90 days of this Notice the
Commission staff will either: Complete
its environmental assessment (EA) and
place it into the Commission’s public
record (eLibrary) for this proceeding; or
issue a Notice of Schedule for
Environmental Review. If a Notice of
Schedule for Environmental Review is
issued, it will indicate, among other
milestones, the anticipated date for the
Commission staff’s issuance of the final
environmental impact statement (FEIS)
or EA for this proposal. The filing of the
EA in the Commission’s public record
for this proceeding or the issuance of a
Notice of Schedule for Environmental
Review will serve to notify federal and
state agencies of the timing for the
completion of all necessary reviews, and
the subsequent need to complete all
federal authorizations within 90 days of
the date of issuance of the Commission
staff’s FEIS or EA.
There are two ways to become
involved in the Commission’s review of
this project. First, any person wishing to
obtain legal status by becoming a party
to the proceedings for this project
should, on or before the comment date
stated below, file with the Federal
Energy Regulatory Commission, 888
First Street NE., Washington, DC 20426,
a motion to intervene in accordance
with the requirements of the
Commission’s Rules of Practice and
Procedure (18 CFR 385.214 or 385.211)
and the Regulations under the NGA (18
CFR 157.10). A person obtaining party
status will be placed on the service list
maintained by the Secretary of the
Commission and will receive copies of
all documents filed by the applicant and
by all other parties. A party must submit
seven copies of filings made with the
Commission and must mail a copy to
the applicant and to every other party in
the proceeding. Only parties to the
proceeding can ask for court review of
Commission orders in the proceeding.
However, a person does not have to
intervene in order to have comments
considered. The second way to
participate is by filing with the
Secretary of the Commission, as soon as
possible, an original and two copies of
comments in support of or in opposition
to this project. The Commission will
consider these comments in
determining the appropriate action to be
taken, but the filing of a comment alone
will not serve to make the filer a party
to the proceeding. The Commission’s
rules require that persons filing
PO 00000
Frm 00031
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
7857
comments in opposition to the project
provide copies of their protests only to
the party or parties directly involved in
the protest.
Persons who wish to comment only
on the environmental review of this
project should submit an original and
two copies of their comments to the
Secretary of the Commission.
Environmental commentors will be
placed on the Commission’s
environmental mailing list, will receive
copies of the environmental documents,
and will be notified of meetings
associated with the Commission’s
environmental review process.
Environmental commentors will not be
required to serve copies of filed
documents on all other parties.
However, the non-party commentors
will not receive copies of all documents
filed by other parties or issued by the
Commission (except for the mailing of
environmental documents issued by the
Commission) and will not have the right
to seek court review of the
Commission’s final order.
The Commission strongly encourages
electronic filings of comments, protests
and interventions in lieu of paper using
the ‘‘eFiling’’ link at https://
www.ferc.gov. Persons unable to file
electronically should submit an original
and five copies of the protest or
intervention to the Federal Energy
regulatory Commission, 888 First Street
