Notice of Commissioner and Staff Attendance at North American Electric Reliability Corporation Meetings, 36387-36388 [2017-16477]

Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 149 / Friday, August 4, 2017 / Notices according to the prescribed test procedure, or (2) cause the prescribed test procedures to evaluate the basic model in a manner so unrepresentative of its true energy consumption characteristics as to provide materially inaccurate comparative data. 10 CFR 430.27(a)(1). DOE may grant the waiver subject to conditions, including adherence to alternate test procedures. 10 CFR 430.27(f)(2). DOE recently published standards for miscellaneous refrigeration products (‘‘MREFs’’). See 81 FR 75194 (Oct. 28, 2016). Testing to demonstrate compliance with those standards will require manufacturers to use the MREF test procedure established in a final rule published in July 2016. See 81 FR 46768 (July 18, 2016) (MREF coverage determination and test procedure final rule) and 81 FR 49868 (July 29, 2016) (MREF test procedure final rule correction notice). Under these rules, DOE has determined that products such as those that are at issue here fall into the MREF category. Accordingly, consistent with these MREF-specific provisions, these products will be evaluated under prescribed procedures and against specified standards that are tailored to account for their particular characteristics. A petitioner may request that DOE extend the scope of a waiver or an interim waiver to include additional basic models employing the same technology as the basic model(s) set forth in the original petition. DOE will publish any such extension in the Federal Register. 10 CFR 430.27(g). II. PAPRSA’s Extension of Waiver: Assertions and Determinations DOE issued a Decision and Order, in Case No. RF–022, granting PAPRSA 2 a waiver to test hybrid wine chiller/ beverage center basic models (77 FR 49443 (August 16, 2012)). That waiver was extended to include additional basic models in Case Nos. RF–031 (78 FR 57139 (September 17, 2013)) and RF–041 (79 FR 55769 (September 17, 2014)). In Case No. RF–043, DOE issued an Order rescinding the Orders in Case Nos. RF–022, RF–031, and RF–041 due to erroneous formulae and reference to an obsolete DOE test procedure. That Order granted an interim waiver that covered all the basic models that were subject to the previous Orders, and one additional basic model for which PAPRSA had requested a waiver extension (81 FR 4270 (January 26, 2016)). Most recently, DOE issued a 2 The waiver was originally issued to Sanyo E&E Corporation, which has since changed its corporate name to PAPRSA. VerDate Sep<11>2014 15:13 Aug 03, 2017 Jkt 241001 Decision and Order granting a waiver to all the basic models that had been subject to the interim waiver (82 FR 21209 (May 5, 2017)). The waiver required PAPRSA to test and rate the specified basic models in accordance with the applicable DOE test procedure, with the exception that it must calculate energy consumption using a correction factor (‘‘K-factor’’) of 0.85. On May 3, 2017, PAPRSA requested an extension of that waiver, under 10 CFR 430.27(g), to a new basic model, PR5181WBC, that employs the same technology as the basic models set forth in the original petition for waiver. Specifically, PAPRSA states that basic model PR5181WBC employs the same wine compartment—beverage compartment technology and design characteristics as the basic models for which the original waiver was granted. That basic model achieves a winechiller compartment average temperature of 50 °F using a heater that prevents the wine-chiller compartment temperature from sinking below 42 °F. DOE is publishing at the end of this notice PAPRSA’s request for extension of waiver in its entirety. III. Order After careful consideration of all the material submitted by PAPRSA, it is ordered that: (1) The request for extension of waiver submitted by the Panasonic Appliances Refrigeration Systems Corporation of America (Case No. RF– 047) is hereby granted as set forth in the paragraphs below. (2) PAPRSA must test and rate the PAPRSA basic models specified in paragraph (3) using the current test procedure contained in 10 CFR part 430, subpart B, appendix A, with the exception that it must calculate energy consumption using a correction factor (‘‘K-factor’’) of 0.85. Therefore, the energy consumption is defined by: If compartment temperatures are below their respective standardized temperatures for both test settings (according to 10 CFR part 430, subpart B, appendix A, sec. 6.2.4.1): E = (ET1 × 0.85) + IET. If compartment temperatures are not below their respective standardized temperatures for both test settings, the higher of the two values calculated by the following two formulas (according to 10 CFR part 430, subpart B, appendix A, sec. 6.2.4.2): Energy consumption of the ‘‘cooler compartment’’: PO 00000 Frm 00032 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 36387 ECooler Compartment = (ET1 + [(ET2 ¥ ET1) × (55 °F¥TW1)/ (TW2¥TW1)]) × 0.85 + IET Energy consumption of the ‘‘fresh food compartment’’: EFreshFood Compartment = (ET1 + [(ET2–ET1) × (39 °F–TBC1)/(TBC2– TBC1)]) × 0.85 + IET. (3) This Order only applies to basic model PR5181WBC. (4) Representations. PAPRSA may make representations about the energy use of its combination coolerrefrigerator product for compliance, marketing, or other purposes only to the extent that such products have been tested in accordance with the provisions above and such representations fairly disclose the results of such testing. (5) This Order will terminate on October 28, 2019, in conjunction with the compliance date that applies to the recently published standards for miscellaneous refrigeration products (‘‘MREFs’’). See 81 FR 75194 (Oct. 28, 2016). Testing to demonstrate compliance with those standards must be performed in accordance with the MREF test procedure final rule. See 81 FR 46768 (July 18, 2016) (MREF test procedure final rule) and 81 FR 49868 (July 29, 2016) (MREF test procedure final rule correction notice). (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) Granting of this extension does not release a petitioner from the certification requirements set forth at 10 CFR part 429. Issued in Washington, DC, on July 28, 2017. Kathleen B. Hogan, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Energy Efficiency, Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy.
