Department of Energy January 7, 2008 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

This notice announces receipt of and publishes a Petition for Waiver from Daikin AC (Americas), Inc. (Daikin). The Petition for Waiver (hereafter ``Daikin Petition'') requests a waiver of the Department of Energy (DOE) test procedure applicable to commercial package air-cooled central air conditioners and heat pumps. The waiver request is specific to the Daikin variable speed and variable refrigerant volume (VRV-III) (commercial) multi-split heat pumps and heat recovery systems. Through this document, DOE is: (1) Soliciting comments, data, and information with respect to the Daikin Petition; and (2) announcing our determination to grant an Interim Waiver to Daikin from the applicable DOE test procedure for the subject commercial air-cooled, multi-split air conditioners and heat pumps.

In this Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, the Commission proposes to require both interstate and certain major non-interstate pipelines to post capacity, daily scheduled flow information and daily actual flow information. This proposal incorporates one contained in an earlier Notice of Proposed Rulemaking to require the posting of capacity and daily actual flow information by some intrastate pipelines, with some changes. Under this proposal, interstate pipelines would be required to post daily actual flow information in addition to their currently required posting of capacity and daily scheduling information. Non-interstate pipelines would be required to post daily scheduled flow information in addition to the earlier Notice of Proposed Rulemaking proposal to require posting capacity and daily actual flow information. The posting proposal would facilitate price transparency in markets for the sale or transportation of physical natural gas in interstate commerce to implement section 23 of the Natural Gas Act.
