Energy Conservation Program: Test 
Procedures for Compressors 
AGENCY : Office of Energy Efficiency and 
Renewable Energy, Department of Energy. 
ACTION : Request for information (RFI). 
SUMMARY : On January 4, 2017, the U.S. 
Department of Energy (‘‘DOE’’) published a final rule establishing new test procedures for certain varieties of compressors. The final rule established definitions, materials incorporated by reference, sampling plans, representations requirements, enforcement provisions and test procedures for certain varieties of compressors. Since that time, DOE has received correspondence, raising concerns that certain issues and information may not have been fully considered during the original rulemaking proceeding and also indicating further clarification may be needed to implement the rule as adopted. As a result, by this RFI, DOE is soliciting further data and information regarding the compressor test procedure and announcing that DOE will not seek to enforce the test procedure rule for 180 days (i.e., until 
December 30, 2017) while it considers the data and information already submitted and any further material submitted in response to this request for information. 
DATES : Comments: DOE will accept 
comments, data, and information regarding this RFI until September 11, 2017. 
ADDRESSES : Interested parties are 
encouraged to submit comments using the Federal eRulemaking Portal at www.regulations.gov. Any comments 
submitted must identify the request for 
information concerning the test procedures for compressors. You may submit comments, identified by Docket Number, EERE–2014–BT–TP–0054, by any of the following methods:

I. Authority and Background 
A. Coverage Determination 
Title III of the Energy Policy and 
Conservation Act of 1975, as amended 
(‘‘EPCA’’), sets forth a variety of provisions designed to improve energy efficiency. (42 U.S.C. 6291, et seq.) Part 
C of Title III, which for editorial reasons was re-designated as Part A–1 upon incorporation into the U.S. Code (42 U.S.C. 6311–6317), establishes the ‘‘Energy Conservation Program for Certain Industrial Equipment.’’ EPCA provides that DOE may include a type of industrial equipment, including compressors, as covered equipment if it determines that to do so is necessary to carry out the purposes of Part A–1. (42 U.S.C. 6311(2)(B)(i) and 6312(b)). The purpose of Part A–1 is to improve the efficiency of electric motors and pumps and certain other industrial equipment in order to conserve the energy resources of the Nation. (42 U.S.C 6312(a)) On November 15, 2016, DOE published a Notice of Final Determination of Coverage, classifying compressors as covered equipment. The final coverage determination became effective on December 15, 2016. 81 FR 79991. 
B. Test Procedure 
DOE may develop test procedures to 
measure the energy efficiency, energy 
use, or estimated annual operating cost of each covered equipment. (42 U.S.C. 6314). Manufacturers of covered equipment must use the prescribed DOE test procedure as the basis for certifying to DOE that their equipment complies with the applicable energy conservation standards adopted under EPCA and when making any representations regarding the energy use or efficiency of that equipment. (42 U.S.C. 6295(s), 6316(a) and 6314(d)). 
On January 4, 2017, DOE published a 
final rule to establish new test procedures for certain varieties of compressors. 82 FR 1052. The final rule established definitions, materials incorporated by reference, sampling plans, representations requirements, enforcement provisions and test procedures for certain varieties of

1A notation in this form provides a reference for 
information that is in the docket for the compressor 
test procedure rulemaking (Docket No. EERE–2014– BT–TP–0054) (available at https://www.regulations.gov/docketBrowser?rpp=25&so=DESC&sb=commentDueDate&po=0&dct=N%2BFR%2BPR%2BO&D=EERE-2014-BT-TP-0054 ). compressors. The effective date of the 
test procedure rule was originally February 3, 2017—i.e., 30 days after 
publication in the Federal Register. 
Effective on February 1, 2017, DOE 
temporarily postponed the effective date 
of its January 4th final rule. See 82 FR 8985 (February 2, 2017). On March 21, 2017, the effective date of the test procedure final rule was further extended to July 3, 2017, the date on which EPCA (through 42 U.S.C. 6314(d)) requires compliance with that procedure. (82 FR 14426). 
C. Questions Raised About Test 
Procedure 
A number of small businesses have 
written DOE expressing concern about the economic burden of the test procedure rule (see e.g., submission 
from Compressed Air Systems (CAS)
1). 
They are concerned both about the cost of implementing the necessary changes to comply with the test procedure, as well as the cost of changing their informational literature to comply with the representation requirements. For example, Compressed Air Systems (CAS) has argued that DOE’s cost estimates for the test procedure rule significantly under-estimated the cost the rule would impose and that when the DOE performed its financial impact analysis DOE failed to take into account a number of factors. 
Further, CAS also has raised 
questions regarding implementation of the test procedure, specifically the application of the ancillary equipment required for testing in Table 1 and Table 2 of section B4 within appendix A to subpart T of part 431 (See 82 FR 1103.). CAS claims to need clarification on appropriate filters and drains necessary to conduct the required test, as well as information on the interaction between DOE’s test requirements and regulations already in force issued by the Environmental Protection Agency and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (see data and information in docket). 
DOE also received other comments 
pertaining to the compressor test procedure final rule both supporting the rule and voicing concerns about the rule, which can be viewed in the docket. D. Request for Information and 
Enforcement Forbearance 
Given the issues raised by small 
businesses, DOE is requesting additional data and information regarding the cost of implementing the existing test procedure, whether the specific mechanics of implementing the existing test procedure are sufficiently clear, and issues, if any, with the interaction of the DOE test procedure with existing rules of other Federal agencies. DOE will not seek to enforce compliance of the test procedure final rule for a period of 180 days from the July 3, 2017, compliance date of the test procedure final rule, as DOE gathers the requested data and information and determines how it will 
choose to proceed with the existing test procedure in light of such data and information. 
II. Public Participation A. Submission of Comments

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION : 
Discussion 
We issued a notice of proposed 
rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR part 39 to supersede AD 95–26–13, Amendment 39–9472 (60 FR 67321, December 29, 1995) (‘‘AD 95–26–13’’). AD 95–26–13 applied to certain Piper Aircraft, Inc. Models PA–28–140, PA– 28–150, PA–28–151, PA–28–161, PA– 28–160, PA–28–180, PA–28–181, PA– 28–235, PA–28–236, PA–28R–180, PA– 28R–200, PA–28R–201, PA–28S–160, PA–28S–180, PA–32–260, PA–32–300, PA–32–301, PA–32–301T, PA–32R–300, PA–32R–301 (SP), PA–32R–301 (HP), PA–32R–301T, PA–32RT–300, PA– 32RT–300T, and PA–32S–300 airplanes equipped with oil cooler hose assemblies that do not meet technical standard order C53a (TSO–C53a) Type D requirements. The NPRM published in the Federal Register on October 21, 2016 (81 FR 72742). The NPRM was prompted by several inquiries asking for clarification of the AD’s applicability and compliance requirements. The NPRM proposed to retain all of the requirements of AD 95–26–13 and add language to clarify those requirements. We are issuing this AD to correct the unsafe condition on these products. 
Comments 
We gave the public the opportunity to 
participate in developing this AD. The 
following presents the comments received on the NPRM and the FAA’s response to each comment. 
Request the Unsafe Condition Be 
Addressed by Department of Commerce 
G. Fenton requested this unsafe 
condition be addressed through the Department of Commerce instead of the Federal Aviation Administration because the NPRM applied to airplanes used for commercial purposes. 
We disagree with this comment 
because the Federal Aviation Administration is charged by Congress to provide for the safe and efficient use of national airspace by commercial and private airplane operators. 
We have not changed the AD based on 
this comment. 
Request To Change Labor Rate in Cost 
of Compliance 
G. Fenton requested we change the 
labor rate in the Cost of Compliance section to $72.50 per hour instead of $85 per hour. He thought the increased
