Commission Information Collection Activities (FERC-549B, FERC-549D, FERC-556, and FERC-561); Comment Request; Extension
In compliance with the requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (Commission or FERC) is soliciting public comment on the currently approved information collections: FERC-549B (Gas Pipeline Rates: Annual Capacity Reports and Index of Customers); FERC-549D (Quarterly Transportation and Storage Report For Intrastate Natural Gas and Hinshaw Pipelines); FERC-556 (Certification of Qualifying Facility (QF) Status for a Small Power Production or Cogeneration Facility); FERC-561 (Annual Report of Interlocking Directorates). The above four collections are a part of this combined notice only and are not being combined into one OMB Control Number, which will be submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review. The Commission issued a 60-day notice on November 30, 2021 requesting public comments; no comments were received.
Energy Conservation Program: Energy Conservation Standards for Ceiling Fans, Webinar and Availability of the Preliminary Technical Support Document
The U.S. Department of Energy (``DOE'' or ``the Department'') will hold a webinar to discuss and receive comments on the preliminary analysis it has conducted for purposes of evaluating energy conservation standards for ceiling fans. The meeting will cover the analytical framework, models, and tools that DOE is using to evaluate potential standards for this product; the results of preliminary analyses performed by DOE for this product; the potential energy conservation standard levels derived from these analyses that DOE could consider for this product should it determine that proposed amendments are necessary; and any other issues relevant to the evaluation of energy conservation standards for ceiling fans. In addition, DOE encourages written comments on these subjects. To inform interested parties and to facilitate this process, DOE has prepared an agenda, a preliminary technical support document (``TSD''), and briefing materials, which are available on the DOE website at: www1.eere.energy.gov/buildings/appliance_standards/ standards.aspx?productid=5.
Energy Conservation Program: Energy Conservation Standards Preliminary Analysis for Miscellaneous Refrigeration Products
On January 21, 2022, the U.S. Department of Energy (``DOE'') published a notification of a webinar and availability of a preliminary technical support document for miscellaneous refrigeration products (``MREFs''). The notification announced that a public meeting webinar would be held on February 17, 2022. On January 28, 2022, DOE received a request from the Association of Home Appliance Manufactures (``AHAM'') to move the webinar date due to significant scheduling constraints. To accommodate these scheduling issues, DOE is moving the public meeting webinar for MREFs to Monday, March 7, 2022.
Environmental Management Site-Specific Advisory Board, Oak Ridge
This notice announces an online virtual meeting of the Environmental Management Site-Specific Advisory Board (EM SSAB), Oak Ridge. The Federal Advisory Committee Act requires that public notice of this online meeting be announced in the Federal Register.
Energy Conservation Program: Energy Conservation Standards for Fans and Blowers
The U.S. Department of Energy (``DOE'' or ``the Department'') is evaluating potential energy conservation standards for fans and blowers, including air circulating fans. Through this request for information (``RFI''), DOE seeks data and information to help determine whether potential energy conservation standards for fans and blowers, including air circulating fans, would result in standards that are technologically feasible and economically justified while producing significant conservation of energy. DOE welcomes written comments from the public on any subject within the scope of this document (including those topics not specifically raised in this RFI), as well as the submission of data and other relevant information.
Commission Information Collection Activities (FERC-519) Comment Request; Extension
In compliance with the requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (Commission FERC- 519, (Application under Federal Power Act Section 203), which will be submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review.
Energy Conservation Program: Test Procedure for Computer Room Air Conditioners
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE or the Department) proposes to amend its test procedure for computer room air conditioners (CRACs) to incorporate by reference the latest draft version of the relevant industry consensus test standard. DOE also proposes to adopt the net sensible coefficient of performance (NSenCOP) metric in its test procedures for CRACs. Additionally, DOE proposes to amend certain provisions for representations and enforcement. DOE welcomes written comments from the public on any subject within the scope of this document (including topics not raised in this proposal), as well as the submission of data and other relevant information.
Energy Conservation Program: Proposed Determination of Miscellaneous Gas Products as a Covered Consumer Product
The U.S. Department of Energy (``DOE'') has tentatively determined that miscellaneous gas products, which are comprised of decorative hearths and outdoor heaters, qualify as covered products under Part A of Title III of the Energy Policy and Conservation Act, as amended (``EPCA''). DOE has tentatively determined that coverage of miscellaneous gas products is necessary and appropriate to carry out the purposes of EPCA, and that the average U.S. household energy use for miscellaneous gas products is likely to exceed 100 kilowatt-hours per year.
Energy Conservation Program: Test Procedure for Electric Motors; Extension of Comment Period
On December 17, 2021, the U.S. Department of Energy (``DOE'') published a notice of proposed rulemaking (``NOPR'') on potential amendments to its test procedure for electric motors. The NOPR provided an opportunity for submitting written comments, data, and information on the proposal by February 15, 2022. DOE received requests from the National Electrical Manufacturers Association (``NEMA'') and the Hydraulic Institute (``HI'') on January 25, 2022, and January 26, 2022, respectively, asking DOE to extend the public comment period for 30 additional days. DOE has reviewed these requests and is granting an extension of the public comment period to allow public comments to be submitted until February 28, 2022.
