The Department of Energy (DOE) published in the Federal Register on March 28, 2012, a notice of an open conference call for the President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology (PCAST). The notice is being corrected to change the time and to add an additional purpose.

This notice announces a live Board meeting of the State Energy Advisory Board (STEAB). The Federal Advisory Committee Act (Pub. L. 92- 463; 86 Stat. 770) requires that public notice of these meetings be announced in the Federal Register.

This notice announces receipt of and publishes the Sanyo E&E Corporation (Sanyo) petition for waiver (hereafter, ``petition'') from specified portions of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) test procedure for determining the energy consumption of electric refrigerators and refrigerator-freezers. The waiver request pertains to the hybrid wine chiller/beverage center basic models set forth in Sanyo's petition. In its petition, Sanyo provides an alternate test procedure to test the wine chiller compartment at 55[emsp14][deg]F instead of the prescribed temperature of 38[emsp14][deg]F. DOE solicits comments, data, and information concerning Sanyo's petition and the suggested alternate test procedure.
