Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 205 / Tuesday, October 23, 2018 / Notices
of the specified walk-in doors, its proposed
PTO value of 93.5% would more accurately
reflect the specified basic models’ door motor
energy consumption.
On June 19, 2018, DOE published a notice
that announced its receipt of the petition for
waiver and granted Jamison an interim
waiver. 83 FR 28422 (‘‘Notice of Petition for
Waiver’’). In the Notice of Petition for
Waiver, DOE presented Jamison’s claim that
the results from testing the specified basic
models according to Appendix A are
unrealistic and unrepresentative of actual
energy usage because of the assigned PTO
value. DOE also summarized Jamison’s
requested alternate test procedure, which
would require testing the specified basic
models according to Appendix A, except that
the PTO value for door motors would be
modified from 25% to 93.5% for freight and
passage doors.
As explained in the Notice of Petition for
Waiver, DOE analyzed the technical
performance data provided by Jamison, and
noted that Jamison’s petition sought to apply
the same PTO value to its specified basic
models that are 24 to 288 inches (i.e. 2 to 24
feet) wide and have motors driven at a
minimum speed of 12 in/s. Even when
assuming the most energy consumptive
scenario would apply, DOE concluded that
the proposed 93.5% PTO for the specified
basic models was appropriate and agreed
with Jamison that for the door motors used
in those basic models, the proposed PTO was
more representative of actual energy use than
the currently required PTO value of 25%.
In the Notice of Petition for Waiver, DOE
also solicited comments from interested
parties on all aspects of the petition and the
specified alternate test procedure. In
response, DOE received one comment from
Hussmann Corporation (‘‘Hussmann’’).5
Hussmann supported Jamison’s request and
methodology for an alternate test procedure
to account for an electrical door opening
device used with a demand-based controller.
It asserted that the analysis arriving at a
93.5% PTO value is sound for the product
and use specified. Hussmann added that
‘‘door products used in other applications,’’
such as control devices that remove moisture
in areas of high humidity, may also warrant
variations in the PTO.
DOE notes that a Decision and Order
applies only to those basic models specified
in the Order. The PTO values specified by
the waiver methodology are appropriate for
the basic models that are the subject of the
petition. Jamison requested PTO values based
on the characteristics of the basic models
specified in its petition. Jamison’s petition
for waiver did not require DOE to consider
or evaluate PTO values for applications other
than the door motors in the specified basic
models. Accordingly, DOE is treating
Hussmann’s comments on this point to apply
more generally than to the specific waiver
request at issue. DOE will consider this issue
in greater detail if it should decide to amend
the walk-in door test procedure in the future.
For the reasons explained here and the
Notice of Petition for Waiver, DOE

understands that absent a waiver, the basic
models identified by Jamison in its petition
cannot be tested and rated for energy
consumption on a basis representative of
their true energy consumption
characteristics. DOE has reviewed the
recommended procedure suggested by
Jamison and concludes that it will allow for
the accurate measurement of the energy use
of the equipment, while alleviating the
testing problems associated with Jamison’s
implementation of DOE’s applicable walk-in
door test procedure for the specified basic
models. Thus, DOE is requiring that Jamison
test and rate the specified walk-in doors basic
models according to the alternate test
procedure specified in this Decision and
Order, which is identical to the procedure
provided in the interim waiver.
This Decision and Order applies only to
the basic models listed and does not extend
to any other basic models. DOE evaluates and
grants waivers for only those basic models
specifically set out in the petition, not future
models that may be manufactured by the
petitioner.
Jamison may request that the scope of this
waiver be extended to include additional
basic models that employ the same
technology as those listed in this waiver. 10
CFR 431.401(g). Jamison may also submit
another petition for waiver from the test
procedure for additional basic models that
employ a different technology and meet the
criteria for test procedure waivers. 10 CFR
431.401(a)(1).
DOE notes that it may modify or rescind
the waiver at any time upon DOE’s
determination that the factual basis
underlying the petition for waiver is
incorrect, or upon a determination that the
results from the alternate test procedure are
unrepresentative of the basic models’ true
energy consumption characteristics. 10 CFR
431.401(k)(1). Likewise, Jamison may request
that DOE rescind or modify the waiver if the
company 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 431.401(k)(2). Further, the
waiver is conditioned upon the validity of
the door motor performance characteristics,
statements, representations, and
documentation provided by Jamison.
procedure for walk-in doors prescribed by
DOE at 10 CFR part 431, subpart R, appendix
A, except that the PTO value specified in
section 4.5.2 ‘‘Direct Energy Consumption of
Electrical Components of Non-Display
Doors’’ shall be 93.5% for door motors. All
other requirements of 10 CFR part 431,
subpart R, appendix A and DOE’s regulations
remain applicable.
(3) Representations. Jamison may not make
representations about the energy use of the
basic models referenced in paragraph (1) of
this Order for compliance, marketing, or
other purposes unless the basic model has
been tested in accordance with the
provisions set forth above and such
representations fairly disclose the results of
such testing in accordance with 10 CFR part
431, subpart R, appendix A and 10 CFR part
429, subpart B, as specified in this Order.
(4) This waiver shall remain in effect
according to the provisions of 10 CFR
431.401.
(5) This waiver is issued on the condition
that the statements, representations, and
documentation provided by Jamison are
valid. If Jamison makes any modifications to
the controls or configurations of these basic
models, the waiver will no longer be valid
and Jamison 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. 10 CFR
431.401(k)(1). Likewise, Jamison may request
that DOE rescind or modify the waiver if
Jamison 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 431.401(k)(2).
(6) Granting of this waiver does not release
Jamison from the certification requirements
set forth at 10 CFR part 429.

III. Order
After careful consideration of all the
material that was submitted by Jamison in
this matter and the comment received, it is
ORDERED that:
(1) Jamison must, as of the date of
publication of this Order in the Federal
Register, test and rate the walk-in doors basic
models listed in Appendix I of its July 26,
2017 petition as provided in Docket Number
EERE–2017–BT–WAV–0040 6 with the
alternate test procedure as set forth in
paragraph (2).
(2) The alternate test procedure for the
Jamison basic models referenced in
paragraph (1) of this Order is the test
