SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In 

accordance with Title 10 of the Code of 

Federal Regulations (10 CFR 430.27(l)), 

DOE gives notice of the issuance of its 

decision and order as set forth below. 

The decision and order grants Samsung 

a waiver from the applicable clothes 

washer test procedure in 10 CFR part 

430, subpart B, appendix J1 for certain 

basic models of clothes washers with 

capacities greater than 3.8 cubic feet, 

provided that Samsung tests and rates 

such products using the alternate test 

procedure described in this notice. 

Today’s decision prohibits Samsung 

from making representations concerning 

the energy efficiency of these products 

unless the product has been tested 

consistent with the provisions and 

restrictions in the alternate test 

procedure set forth in the decision and 

order below, and the representations 

fairly disclose the test results. 

Distributors, retailers, and private 

labelers are held to the same standard 

when making representations regarding 

the energy efficiency of these products.

Kathleen B. Hogan, 

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Energy 

Efficiency, Office of Technology 

Development, Energy Efficiency and 

Renewable Energy. 

Decision and Order 

In the Matter of: Samsung Electronics 

America, Inc. (Case No. CW–019). 

I. Background and Authority 

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, which 

includes the residential clothes washers 

that are the focus of this notice.1 Part B 

includes definitions, test procedures, 

labeling provisions, energy conservation 

standards, and the authority to require 

information and reports from 

manufacturers. Further, Part B 

authorizes the Secretary of Energy to 

prescribe test procedures that are 

reasonably designed to produce results 

which measure energy efficiency, 

energy use, or estimated operating costs, 

and that are not unduly burdensome to 

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

procedure for automatic and semiautomatic clothes washers is set forth in 

10 CFR part 430, subpart B, appendix J1. 

DOE’s regulations for covered 

products contain provisions allowing a 

person to seek a waiver for a particular 

basic model from the test procedure 

requirements for covered consumer 

products when (1) the petitioner’s basic 

model for which the petition for waiver 

was submitted contains one or more 

design characteristics that prevent 

testing according to the prescribed test 

procedure, or (2) when prescribed test 

procedures may evaluate the basic 

model in a manner so unrepresentative 

of its true energy consumption 

characteristics as to provide materially 

inaccurate comparative data. 10 CFR 

430.27(a)(1). Petitioners must include in 

their petition any alternate test 

procedures known to the petitioner to 

evaluate the basic model in a manner 

representative of its energy 

consumption characteristics. 10 CFR 

430.27(b)(1)(iii). 

The Assistant Secretary for Energy 

Efficiency and Renewable Energy (the 

Assistant Secretary) may grant a waiver 

subject to conditions, including 

adherence to alternate test procedures. 

10 CFR 430.27(l). Waivers remain in 

effect pursuant to the provisions of 10 

CFR 430.27(m). 

Any interested person who has 

submitted a petition for waiver may also 

file an application for interim waiver of 

the applicable test procedure 

requirements. 10 CFR 430.27(a)(2). The 

Assistant Secretary will grant an interim 

waiver request if it is determined that 

the applicant will experience economic 

hardship if the interim waiver is denied, 

if it appears likely that the petition for 

waiver will be granted, and/or the 

Assistant Secretary determines that it 

would be desirable for public policy 

reasons to grant immediate relief 

pending a determination on the petition 

for waiver. 10 CFR 430.27(g). 

On December 23, 2010, DOE issued 

enforcement guidance for large-capacity 

clothes washers. This guidance can be 

found on DOE’s Web site at http:// 

www.gc.energy.gov/documents/

_122210.pdf. 

II. Samsung’s Petition for Waiver: 

Assertions and Determinations 

On February 11, 2011, Samsung 

submitted the instant petition for waiver 

and application for interim waiver 

(petition) from the test procedure 

applicable to automatic and semiautomatic clothes washers set forth in 

10 CFR part 430, subpart B, appendix J1. 

This petition expands the model list set 

forth in Samsung’s initial petition CW– 

014, for which DOE granted a waiver on 

March 10, 2011. 76 FR 13169. Samsung 

requested a waiver to test its residential 

clothes washers with basket volumes 

greater than 3.8 cubic feet on the basis 

of the test procedures contained in 10 

CFR part 430, Subpart B, Appendix J1, 

with a revised Table 5.1 which extends 

the range of container volumes beyond 

3.8 cubic feet. Samsung’s instant 

petition and DOE’s grant of interim 

waiver were also published in the 

Federal Register on April 19, 2011. 76 

FR 21881. DOE received no comments 

on the Samsung petition. 

Samsung’s petition seeks a waiver 

from the DOE test procedure because 

the mass of the test load used in the 

procedure, which is based on the basket 

volume of the test unit, is currently not 

defined for basket sizes greater than 3.8 

cubic feet. The basic models specified in 

Samsung’s February 2011 petition have 

capacities larger than 3.8 cubic feet. In 

addition, if the current maximum test 

load mass is used to test these products, 

the tested energy use would be less than 

the actual energy usage, and could 

evaluate the basic model in a manner so 

unrepresentative of its true energy 

consumption characteristics as to 

provide materially inaccurate 

comparative data. 

Table 5.1 of Appendix J1 defines the 

test load sizes used in the test procedure 

as linear functions of the basket volume. 

Samsung requests that DOE grant a 

waiver for testing and rating based on a 

revised Table 5.1, the same table as set 

forth in the waiver granted to Samsung 

on March 10, 2011. The table is 

identical to the Table 5.1 found in 

DOE’s clothes washer test procedure 

Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NOPR). 

75 FR 57556 (September 21, 1010). 

As DOE has stated in the past, it is in 

the public interest to have similar 

products tested and rated for energy 

consumption on a comparable basis. 

Previously, DOE granted a test 

procedure waiver to Whirlpool for three 

of Whirlpool’s clothes washer models 

with container capacities greater than 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 156 / Friday, August 12, 2011 / Notices 50209 

3.8 cubic feet. 75 FR 69653 (November 

15, 2010). This notice contained an 

alternate test procedure, which 

extended the linear relationship 

between maximum test load size and 

clothes washer container volume in 

Table 5.1 to include a maximum test 

load size of 15.4 pounds (lbs) for clothes 

washer container volumes of 3.8 to 3.9 

cubic feet. On December 10, 2010, DOE 

granted a similar waiver to General 

Electric Company (GE), which used the 

same alternate test procedure. 75 FR 

76968. DOE has also granted waivers to 

Electrolux (76 FR 11440 (March 2, 

2011)), LG (76 FR 11233 (March 1, 

2011)) and Samsung (76 FR 13169 

(March 10, 2011)). All decisions and 

orders for this type of product use the 

Table 5.1 values presented in DOE’s 

NOPR. 

DOE notes that its recently issued 

supplemental proposed rule (http:// 

www.eere.energy.gov/buildings/

appliance_standards/residential/pdfs/

rcw_tp_snopr.pdf) to amend the test 

procedures for clothes washers makes 

slight adjustments to Table 5.1 to correct 

for rounding errors. The alternate test 

procedure set forth in this decision and 

order adopts this updated table. 

III. Consultations with Other Agencies 

DOE consulted with the Federal Trade 

Commission (FTC) staff concerning the 

Samsung petition for waiver. The FTC 

staff did not have any objections to 

granting a waiver to Samsung. 

IV. Conclusion 

After careful consideration of all the 

material that was submitted by 

Samsung, the waivers granted to 

Whirlpool, GE, LG and Electrolux, as 

well as previously to Samsung, the 

clothes washer test procedure 

rulemaking, and consultation with the 

FTC staff, it is ordered that: 

(1) The petition for waiver submitted 

by the Samsung Electronics America, 

Inc. (Case No. CW–019) is hereby 

granted as set forth in the paragraphs 

below. 

(2) Samsung shall not be required to 

test or rate the following Samsung 

models on the basis of the current test 

procedure contained in 10 CFR part 430, 

subpart B, appendix J1. Instead, it shall 

be required to test and rate such 

products according to the alternate test 

procedure as set forth in paragraph (3) 

below. 

WA5471* * *, WA5461* * *, 

WA5451* * *, WA5441* * *, 

WA5431* * *. 

(3) Samsung shall be required to test 

the products listed in paragraph (2) 

above according to the test procedures 

for clothes washers prescribed by DOE 

at 10 CFR part 430, appendix J1, except 

that, for the Samsung products listed in 

paragraph (2) only, the expanded Table 

5.1 below shall be substituted for Table 

5.1 of appendix J1.

(4) Representations. Samsung may 

make representations about the energy 

use of its clothes washer products for

purposes only to the extent that such 

products have been tested in accordance 

with the provisions outlined above and 

such representations fairly disclose the 

results of such testing. 

(5) This waiver shall remain in effect 

consistent with the provisions of 10 CFR 

430.27(m). 

(6) This waiver is issued on the 

condition that the statements, 

representations, and documentary 

materials provided by the petitioner are 

valid. DOE may revoke or modify this

waiver is incorrect, or the results from 

the alternate test procedure are 

unrepresentative of the basic models’ 

true energy consumption characteristics.
