Download as PDF 46152 Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 177 / Wednesday, September 12, 2018 / Notices (3) Representations. ITW may make representations about the energy use of the specified basic models of its commercial refrigeration equipment for compliance, marketing, or other purposes only to the extent that such equipment has been tested in accordance with the provisions above and such representations fairly disclose the results of such testing in accordance with 10 CFR part 429, subpart B. (4) This waiver shall remain in effect consistent with the provisions of 10 CFR 431.401. (5) This waiver is issued on the condition that the statements, representations, and documentation provided by the petitioner are valid. If ITW makes any modifications to the controls or configurations of these basic models, the waiver will no longer be valid and ITW will either be required to use the current Federal test method or submit a new application for a test procedure waiver. 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. Likewise, ITW may request that DOE rescind or modify the waiver if ITW 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. (6) Granting of this waiver does not release a petitioner from the certification requirements set forth at 10 CFR part 429. Signed in Washington, DC, on September 6, 2018.

The first notice of schedule, issued on January 3, 2018, identified September 17, 2018 as the final EIS issuance date. Staff has revised the schedule for issuance of the final EIS based on the current status of Transco’s General Conformity review and feasible mitigation options. The forecasted schedule for the final EIS is also based upon Transco providing complete and timely responses to any future data requests. In addition, the schedule assumes that the cooperating agencies will provide input on their areas of responsibility on a timely basis.
