[Case No. CR–006]
Notice of Petition for Waiver of AHT
Cooling Systems GmbH and AHT
Cooling Systems USA Inc. From the
Department of Energy Commercial
Refrigerator, Freezer, and RefrigeratorFreezer Test Procedures and Partial
Granting of an Interim Waiver;
Withdrawal
Office of Energy Efficiency and
Renewable Energy, Department of
Energy.
ACTION: Notice of petition for waiver,
partial granting of an interim waiver,
and request for public comment;
withdrawal.
AGENCY:
The U.S. Department of
Energy (DOE) is withdrawing its notice
of petition for waiver, partial granting of
an interim waiver, and request for
public comment for AHT Cooling
Systems GmbH and AHT Cooling
Systems USA Inc. (‘‘AHT’’) from the
commercial refrigerator, freezer, and
refrigerator-freezer (‘‘CRE’’) test
procedures. The notice published on
March 28, 2017, included an error in the
calculations to determine daily energy
consumption in the alternate test
procedure and omitted a step needed to
accurately capture the entire defrost
energy contribution. Therefore, DOE is
withdrawing the notice in its entirety
and will republish the notice with
corrected calculations and associated
discussion.
SUMMARY:
The notice published at 82 FR
15345 on March 28, 2017, is withdrawn
as of April 12, 2017.

consumption in the alternate test
procedure. 82 FR 15345, 15348.
Specifically, the notice included an
error in the calculation of tDS, the sum
of defrost time per week. The notice
incorrectly showed that value calculated
as the duration of one defrost cycle
divided by the maximum number of
defrosts per week. The correct
calculation would be the duration of
one defrost cycle multiplied by the
maximum number of defrosts per week.
In addition, the notice omitted the test
methodology instructions to capture the
entire defrost operation. As published,
the test period would only capture the
defrost itself and not any pre-cooling or
temperature recovery periods that
would use more energy along with the
defrost.
Because of this error and omission,
DOE is withdrawing the March 28,
2017, notice in its entirety and will
republish the notice to correct the error.
While DOE works to expeditiously
correct and republish the interim
waiver, AHT’s original application will
be considered pending and DOE’s
enforcement policy on test procedure
waivers will apply.1

(1) OMB No. 1910–5173; (2) Information
Collection Request Title: The American
Assured Supply Program; (3) Type of
Request: Renewal; (4) Purpose: DOE
created the American Assured Fuel
Supply (AFS), a reserve of low enriched
uranium (LEU) to serve as backup fuel
supply for foreign recipients to be
supplied through U.S. persons or for
domestic recipients, in the event of fuel
supply disruption. DOE is committed to
making the AFS available to eligible
recipients in the case of supply
disruptions in the nuclear fuel market.
This effort supports the United States
Government’s nuclear nonproliferation
objectives by supporting civilian
nuclear energy development while
minimizing proliferation risks. DOE
published a Notice of Availability for
AFS on August 18, 2011, and published
an application on December 2, 2013, in
the Federal Register to standardize the
information that must be provided in a
request to access the material in the AFS
