Privacy Act of 1974; System of Records
As required by the Privacy Act of 1974, notice is hereby given that the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) is amending the system of records entitled ``FERC-62, Public Information Request'' by revising the System Location; System Manager; Purpose; Categories of Individuals; Categories of Records; Record Source Categories; Policies and Practices for Retrieval of Records; and Administrative, Technical, and Physical Safeguards. FERC is publishing the system notice in its entirety.
Agency Information Collection Revision
The Department of Energy (DOE) has submitted request to revise an information collection request to the OMB under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 in connection with the issuance of an interim final rule. The information collection requests a revision the DOE Loan Guarantees for Energy Projects, OMB Control Number 1910- 5134.
Energy Conservation Program: Test Procedure for Commercial Warm Air Furnaces
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is amending the Federal test procedures for commercial warm air furnaces (CWAFs) to incorporate the latest versions of the industry test standards that are currently incorporated by reference. DOE is also establishing a new metric, Thermal Efficiency Two (TE2), and corresponding test procedure. Use of the newly established test procedure would become mandatory at such time as compliance with amended energy conservation standards based on TE2 is required, should DOE adopt such standards. DOE also is adopting additional specifications for CWAFs with multiple flue outlets or small flue outlets.
Energy Conservation Program: Energy Conservation Standards for Computer Room Air Conditioners
The Energy Policy and Conservation Act, as amended (EPCA), prescribes energy conservation standards for various consumer products and certain commercial and industrial equipment, including small, large, and very large commercial package air conditioning and heating equipment, of which computer room air conditioners (CRACs) are a category. EPCA requires the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE or the Department) to consider the need for amended standards each time American Society of Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) Standard 90.1 is amended with respect to the standard levels or design requirements applicable to that equipment, or periodically under a six-year-lookback review provision. In this final rule, DOE is adopting amended energy conservation standards for CRACs that rely on a new efficiency metric and are equivalent to those levels specified in ASHRAE Standard 90.1-2019. DOE has determined that it lacks the clear and convincing evidence required by the statute to adopt standards more stringent than the levels specified in the industry standard.
Energy Conservation Program: Energy Conservation Standards for Air Cooled, Three-Phase, Small Commercial Air Conditioners and Heat Pumps With a Cooling Capacity of Less Than 65,000 Btu/h and Air-Cooled, Three-Phase, Variable Refrigerant Flow Air Conditioners and Heat Pumps With a Cooling Capacity of Less Than 65,000 Btu/h
In this final rule, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE or the Department) is adopting amended energy conservation standards for air cooled, three-phase, small commercial air conditioners and heat pumps with a cooling capacity of less than 65,000 Btu/h and air-cooled, three-phase, variable refrigerant flow air conditioners and heat pumps with a cooling capacity of less than 65,000 Btu/h that rely on new efficiency metrics and align with amended efficiency levels in the industry standard. For the relevant equipment classes, DOE has determined that it lacks clear and convincing evidence required by the statute to adopt standards more stringent than the levels specified in the industry standard.
