Download as PDF daltland on DSKBBV9HB2PROD with NOTICES Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 52 / Friday, March 16, 2018 / Notices combination cooler refrigeration products specified in 10 CFR part 430, subpart B, appendix A, with the exception that New Shunxiang must calculate energy consumption using a correction factor (‘‘K-factor’’) of 0.85, instead of the prescribed 0.55. (3) Representations. New Shunxiang must make representations about the energy use of the specified basic model identified in paragraph (1) of this section for compliance, marketing, or other purposes only to the extent that such product has been tested in accordance with the provisions outlined above and such representations fairly disclose the results of such testing in accordance with 10 CFR part 430, subpart B, appendix A and 10 CFR 429.14. (4) This waiver shall remain in effect consistent with the provisions of 10 CFR 430.27. This Decision and Order will terminate on October 28, 2019, in conjunction with the compliance date of the recently published standards for MREFs. Testing to demonstrate compliance with those standards, and any other representations of energy use made on or after October 28, 2019, will require manufacturers to use the relevant test procedure for these products. (5) 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 model’s true energy consumption characteristics. 10 CFR 430.27(k)(1). Likewise, New Shunxiang may request that DOE rescind or modify the waiver if New Shunxiang discovers an error in the information provided to DOE as part of its petition, determines that the waiver is no longer needed, or for other appropriate reasons. 10 CFR 430.27(k)(2). If New Shunxiang believes that a test method other than that specified in this Decision and Order provides representative results and is less burdensome, New Shunxiang may submit a request for modification under 10 CFR 430.27(k)(2) that explains why DOE should adopt the test procedure submitted by New Shunxiang and addresses the reasons for DOE’s modifications provided in this Decision and Order. (6) Granting of this waiver does not release New Shunxiang from the certification requirements set forth at 10 CFR part 429.
