DATES: Comments, protests, or requests 

to intervene must be submitted on or 

before April 1, 2011. 

ADDRESSES: Comments, protests, or 

requests to intervene should be 

addressed as follows: Office of 

Electricity Delivery and Energy

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Exports of 

electricity from the United States to a 

foreign country are regulated by the 

Department of Energy (DOE) pursuant to 

sections 301(b) and 402(f) of the 

Department of Energy Organization Act 

(42 U.S.C. 7151(b), 7172(f)) and require 

authorization under section 202(e) of 

the FPA (16 U.S.C. 824a(e)). 

On February 2, 2011, DOE received an 

application from the SGEC for authority 

to transmit electric energy from the 

United States to Canada as a power 

marketer for a ten-year term using 

existing international transmission 

facilities. The SGEC does not own any 

electric transmission facilities nor does 

it hold a franchised service area. 

The electric energy that the SGEC 

proposes to export to Canada would be 

surplus energy purchased from electric 

utilities, Federal power marketing 

agencies and other entities within the 

United States. The existing international 

transmission facilities to be utilized by 

the SGEC have previously been 

authorized by Presidential permits 

issued pursuant to Executive Order 

10485, as amended, and are appropriate 

for open access transmission by third 

parties. 

Procedural Matters: Any person 

desiring to become a party to these 

proceedings or to be heard by filing 

comments or protests to this application 

should file a petition to intervene, 

comment, or protest at the address 

provided above in accordance with 

§§ 385.211 or 385.214 of the Federal 

Energy Regulatory Commission’s Rules 

of Practice and Procedures (18 CFR 

385.211, 385.214). Fifteen copies of each 

petition and protest should be filed with 

DOE on or before the date listed above. 

Comments on the SGEC application to 

export electric energy to Canada should 

be clearly marked with Docket No. EA– 

376. Additional copies are to be filed

this application after the environmental 

impacts have been evaluated pursuant 

to DOE’s National Environmental Policy 

Act Implementing Procedures (10 CFR 

part 1021) and after a determination is 

made by DOE that the proposed action 

will not adversely impact on the 

reliability of the U.S. electric power 

supply system.

[Case No. CAC–028] 

Energy Conservation Program for 

Consumer Products: Decision and 

Order Granting a Waiver to Daikin AC 

(Americas), Inc. (Daikin) From the 

Department of Energy Residential 

Central Air Conditioner and Heat Pump 

Test Procedures 

AGENCY: Office of Energy Efficiency and 

Renewable Energy, Department of 

Energy. 

ACTION: Decision and Order. 

SUMMARY: This notice publishes the U.S. 

Department of Energy’s (DOE) decision 

and order in Case No. CAC–028. DOE 

grants a waiver to Daikin from the 

existing DOE test procedure applicable 

to residential central air conditioners 

and heat pumps. The waiver request is 

specific to the Daikin Altherma air-towater heat pump with integrated 

domestic water heating. The test method 

for central air conditioners and heat 

pumps contained in Title 10 of the Code 

of Federal Regulation (10 CFR) part 430, 

subpart B, appendix M does not include 

any provisions to account for the 

operational characteristics of an air-towater heat pump, or any central airconditioning heat pump with an 

integrated domestic hot water 

component. As a condition of this 

waiver, Daikin must test and rate its 

Altherma heat pump products according 

to the alternate test procedure set forth 

in this notice. 

DATES: This Decision and Order is 

effective March 2, 2011.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In 

accordance with 10 CFR 430.27(l), DOE 

gives notice of the issuance of its 

decision and order as set forth below. In 

this decision and order, DOE grants 

Daikin a waiver from the applicable 

residential central air conditioner and 

heat pump test procedures at 10 CFR 

part 430, subpart B, appendix M. The 

waiver applies to certain basic models 

of the Daikin Altherma system, which 

consists of an air-to-water heat pump 

that provides hydronic heating and 

cooling as well as domestic hot water 

functions. Daikin must test and rate 

such products using the alternate test 

procedure described in this notice. 

Further, today’s decision requires that 

Daikin may not make any 

representations concerning the energy 

efficiency of these products unless such 

product has been tested consistent with 

the provisions and restrictions in the 

alternate test procedure set forth in the 

decision and order below, and such 

representations fairly disclose the 

results of such testing. (42 U.S.C. 

6314(d)) Distributors, retailers, and 

private labelers are held to the same 

standard when making representations 

regarding the energy efficiency of these 

products. (42 U.S.C. 6293(c))

Decision and Order 

In the Matter of: Daikin AC 

(Americas), Inc. (Daikin) (Case No. 

CAC–028). 

Background 

Title III, Part B of the Energy Policy 

and Conservation Act of 1975 (EPCA), 

Public Law 94–163 (42 U.S.C. 6291– 

6309, as codified), established the 

Energy Conservation Program for 

Consumer Products Other Than 

Automobiles, a program covering most 

major household appliances, including 

the residential central air conditioners 

and heat pumps that are the focus of 

this notice.1 Part B of Title III includes 

definitions, test procedures, labeling 

provisions, energy conservation 

standards for covered products, and the 

authority to require information and 

reports from manufacturers. Further, 

EPCA authorizes the Secretary of Energy 

to prescribe test procedures that are 

reasonably designed to produce results 

that measure energy efficiency, energy 

use, or estimated annual operating costs, 

and that are not unduly burdensome to 

conduct. (42 U.S.C. 6293(b)(3)) The test 

procedure for residential central air 

conditioners and heat pumps is 

contained in 10 CFR part 430, subpart 

B, appendix M. 

DOE’s regulations for covered 

products allow a person to seek a waiver
