 that the mean energy and water consumption of the two units is no greater than, 
and the mean energy and water efficiency of the two units is no less than, the 
consumption and efficiency permitted or required by all applicable standards in 
section 1605.1, 1605.2, or 1605.3 of this Article, and that was certified by the 
manufacturer or third -party certifier pursuant to section 1606(a) of this Article , the 
matter shall be closed.  
(B) Performance is As Required by Standard but is Worse Than as Certified by 
Manufacturer or Third- Party Certifier. If the two test results indicate that the mean 
energy or water consumption of the two units is greater than, or the mean energy or 
water efficiency of the two units is less than, the consumption or efficiency that was 
certified by the manufacturer or third-party certifier pursuant to section 1606(a) of 
this Article, but that the mean result nevertheless complies with all applicable 
standards in section 1605.1, 1605.2, or 1605.3 of this Article , the Energy 
Commission shall undertake a proceeding pursuant to Sections 11445.10- 11445.60 
of the California Government Code (or, at the manufacturer's option, pursuant to 
Sections 11425.10-11425.60 of the California Government Code). If the Energy 
Commis sion determines that the two test results indicate that (1) the mean energy 
or water consumption of the two units is greater than, or the mean energy or water 
efficiency of the two units is less than, the consumption or efficiency as reported or 
certified by the manufacturer pursuant to section 1606(a) of this Article, and (2) the 
mean result nevertheless complies with all applicable standards in section 1605.1, 
1605.2, or 1605.3 of this Article, then the Executive Director shall modify the listing 
of the appliance in the MAEDbS  to reflect accurately the Energy Commission's 
determination.  
(C) Performance is Not As Required by Standard.  If the two test results indicate that 
the mean energy or water consumption of the two units is greater than, or the mean 
energy or water efficiency of the two units is less than, any applicable standard in 
section 1605.1, 1605.2, or 1605.3 of this Article, the Energy Commission shall 
undertake a proceeding pursuant to Sections 11445.10-11445.60 of the California 
Government Code (or, at the manufacturer's option, Sections 11425.10-11425.60 of 
the California Government Code). If the Energy Commission determines that the 
mean energy or water consumption of the two units is greater than, or the mean 
energy or water efficiency of the two units is less than any applicable standard, the 
Executive Director shall remove the appliance from the MAEDbS  established 
pursuant to section 1606(c) of this Article . 
(3) Optional Method of Determining Energy or Water Performance. If, at any time before 
an Energy Commission determination under section 1608(e)(2)(B) or 1608(e)(2)(C) of this 
Article , the manufacturer so chooses, instead of using the mean-of-two-units approach 
set forth in sections 1608(e)(1) and 1608(e)(2) of this Article, the Executive Director shall 
test the appliance using the sampling method set forth in 10 C.F.R. part 429 Appendix A 
(for consumer products and certain high -volume commercial equipment),  Appendix B 
(for covered equipment and certain low -volume covered products), or Appendix C (for 
distribution transformers) to subpart C of part 429 and shall make the determinations 
under sections 1608(e)(1) and 1608(e)(2) of this Article  based on those test results. The 
manufacturer shall pay for all such testing.  
 
(f) Costs.  
 
Except as otherwise provided in this Article, all costs of initial tests showing results as 
described in section 1608(e)(1)(A) or section 1608(e)(2)(A) of this Article  shall be borne by 
the Energy Commission. All costs of all other tests shall be paid by the manufacturer.  
  
94 
 (g) Federally  Regulated Appliances.  
 
If: 
(1) the appliance tested is a federally regulated consumer product or federally regulated 
commercial and industrial equipment; and  
(2) either:  
(A) the test results show that the appliance does not comply with an applicable federal 
standard or other applicable federal requirement; or 
(B) the test results are at variance with the results reported by the manufacturer to the 
U.S. Department of Energy or the U.S. Federal Trade Commission; then, in addition to 
taking the applicable actions described in sections 1608(e)(1) and 1608(e)(2) of this 
Article , the Executive Director shall inform the appropriate federal agency.  
 
(d)(h) Forms and Formats Specified by Executive Director.  
 
The Executive Director may specify, and require the use of, any particular form or format 
for the submittal of any data, reports, or other information required by this Article, including but not limited to computer programs or formats.  
 
(e) Federal Preemption of State Specified Testing Requirements.  
 
In the event a federal test procedure referenced in section 1604 of this Article is amended, 
effective 180 days after the amended federal test procedure is published in the Federal 
Register, and until such time as this Article is updated to reflect such ch anges to 
preemptive federal law, attestation to the Energy Commission that the product has been 
tested in accordance with the amended federal test procedure shall be deemed compliance 
with section 1604 of this Article.  
  
(1) If the changes to preemptive federal law preclude generating or filing any information 
required by section 1606(a)(3) of this Article, attestation to the Energy Commission that 
the product has been tested in accordance with the amended federal test pro cedure 
shall also be deemed compliance with any affected portions of section 1606(a)(3) of this 
Article.  
 
(i) Executive Director Determinations.  
 
Whenever this Article refers to a finding, conclusion, or other determination by the 
Executive Director, any person seeking such a determination shall submit to the Executive 
Director a written request. Within 10 days of receipt of a request, the Executive  Director 
shall either find the request is complete and so inform the applicant, or return the request 
to the applicant with a statement of what additional information is necessary to make it 
complete. Within 21 days of receipt of a complete request, the Executive Director shall make 
a determination, which shall be within the discretion of the Executive Director acting on the 
basis of the entire record, which shall be assembled and made publicly available by the 
Executive Director. Within 10 days of a determination, whether made in response to a 
request or made on the Executive Director's own initiative, any affected person, including 
but not limited to the person, if any, who made a request for the determination, may appeal 
the determination to the Energy Commission in writing. At the same time that the appeal is 
filed, the appellant shall file all the evidence the appellant wishes the Energy Commission to 
consider. The Energy Commission staff and any affected person shall file all the evidence 
they wish the  Energy Commission to consider within 20 days after the appeal is filed. The 
Energy Commission shall hear and decide the appeal at the next regularly scheduled 
business meeting that is at least 30 days after the appeal is filed. At the hearing the Energy  
95 
 Commission may require the filed evidence to be presented under oath and may allow 
questions and cross -examination from participants.

(3) Any person who knowingly provides materially false information to the Energy 
Commission in a statement made pursuant to any provision of this Article that includes 
a declaration, executed under penalty of perjury, may be subject to an administrative 
civil penalty. This may be in addition to any administrative civil penalty assessed 
pursuant to sections  1609(a)(1) or 1609(a)(2) of this Article . The Energy Commission 
may consider the making of a false statement in a declaration submitted under penalty 
of perjury to be evidence of willfulness under section  1609(b)(3)(E)  1609(b)(3)  of this 
Article . 
 
(b) Assessment of Administrative Civil Penalties.  
 
(1) An administrative civil penalty of up to the maximum amount provided by Public 
Resources Code section Section 25402.11 of the Public Resources Code may be assessed 
for each unit of the appliance that was sold or is offered for sale in California in 
violation of s ection 1608(a) of this Article, pursuant to sections  1609(a)(1) or 1609(a)(2) 
of this Article , or for each false statement, pursuant to section  1609(a)(3) of this Article . 
(2) If more than one person is responsible for a sale or offer for sale in violation of section  
1608(a) of this Article , the Energy Commission may apportion liability amongst the 
persons responsible for the violation.  
(3) In determining the amount of an administrative civil penalty for each violation, the 
Energy Commission shall consider the following factors  set forth in Public Resources 
Code section 25402.11(a)(2). :  
96 
 (A) The nature and seriousness of the violation.  
(B) The persistence of the violation, meaning a responsible person's history of past 
violations of this Article over the previous seven years.  
(C) The number of violations arising from the course of conduct that is the subject of 
the enforcement proceeding.  
(D) The length of time over which the violation occurred.  
(E) The willfulness of the persons responsible for the violation.  
(F) The harm to consumers and to the state that resulted from the amount of energy 
wasted due to the violation.  
(G) The number of persons responsible for the violation.  
(H) The efforts of the persons responsible for the violation to correct the violation prior 
to initiation of an enforcement action by the Energy Commission.  
(I) The cooperation, by persons responsible for the violation, with the Energy 
Commission during its investigation.  
(J) The assets, liabilities, and net worth of the persons responsible for the violation. 
This information will be considered to reduce the administrative civil penalty 
amount, should a responsible person or persons elect to provide asset, liability, and 
net worth documentation to the Executive Director to demonstrate that a reduction 
in a penalty amount is necessary to avoid an undue burden.  
 
(c) Notices of Violation.
