Department of Energy April 2007 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

Today's notice publishes a Petition for Waiver from Mitsubishi Electric and Electronics USA, Inc. (MEUS). This Petition for Waiver (hereafter ``MEUS Petition'') requests a waiver of the Department of Energy (``DOE'') test procedures applicable to commercial package water source heat pumps. DOE is soliciting comments, data, and information with respect to the MEUS Petition. Today's notice also grants an Interim Waiver to MEUS, with an alternate test procedure, from the existing DOE test procedure applicable to commercial package water source heat pumps.

In compliance with the requirements of section 3507 of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, 44 U.S.C. 3507, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (Commission) has submitted the information collection described below to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and extension of this information collection requirement. Any interested person may file comments directly with OMB and should address a copy of those comments to the Commission as explained below. The Commission received comments from two entities in response to an earlier Federal Register notice of December 14, 2006 (71 FR 75238- 75239) and has provided responses to the commenters in its submission to OMB. Copies of the submission were also submitted to the commenters.

On December 16, 2005, the Commission issued Order No. 668, a Final Rule amending the Commission's regulations to update the accounting and reporting requirements for public utilities and licensees, including independent system operators and RTOs. Because the Commission has updated the submission software used to file FERC Form Nos. 1 and 1-F, the Commission is issuing a notice extending the filing deadline for the filing of 2006 FERC Form Nos. 1 and 1-F.
