Title of Collection: Higher Education 

Act (HEA) Title II Report Cards on State 

Teacher Credentialing and Preparation. 

OMB Control Number: 1840–0744. 

Type of Review: Revision of a 

currently approved collection. 

Respondents/Affected Public: State, 

Local, and Tribal Governments; Private 

Sector. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Responses: 1,794. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Burden Hours: 267,588. 

Abstract: This request is a revision 

that includes COVID–19 guidance and 

to approve the state report card and 

institution and program report cards 

required by the Higher Education Act of 

1965, as amended in 2008 by the Higher 

Education Opportunity Act (HEOA). 

States must report annually on criteria 

and assessments required for initial 

teacher credentials using a State Report 

Card (SRC), and institutions of higher 

education (IHEs) with teacher 

preparation programs (TPP), and TPPs 

outside of IHEs, must report on key 

program elements on an Institution and 

Program Report Card (IPRC). IHEs and 

TPPs outside of IHEs report annually to 

their states on program elements, 

including program numbers, type, 

enrollment figures, demographics, 

completion rates, goals and assurances 

to the state. States, in turn, must report 

on TPP elements to the Secretary of 

Education in addition to information on 

assessment pass rates, state standards, 

initial credential types and 

requirements, numbers of credentials 

issued, TPP classification as at-risk or 

low-performing. The information from 

states, institutions, and programs is 

published annually in The Secretary’s 

Report to Congress on Teacher Quality.

The Department plans to use the SRC 

and IPRC current instruments, 

unchanged, for the FY21 through FY23 

data collections, in order to maintain 

continuity in the information available. 

There is no change in burden due to the 

addition of Institutions with Teacher 

Preparation Programs. The Department 

has included additional instruction to 

aid institutions in reporting data that 

may differ from usual data due to 

COVID restrictions.

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

[Case Number 2020–008; EERE–2020–BT– 

WAV–0024] 

Energy Conservation Program: 

Decision and Order Granting a Waiver 

to CNA International, Inc. From the 

Department of Energy Dishwashers 

Test Procedure 

AGENCY: Office of Energy Efficiency and 

Renewable Energy, Department of 

Energy. 

ACTION: Notification of decision and 

order. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of 

Energy (‘‘DOE’’) gives notice of a 

Decision and Order (Case Number 

2020–008) that grants to CNA 

International, Inc. (‘‘CNA’’) a waiver 

from specified portions of the DOE test 

procedure for determining the energy 

and water consumption of specified 

dishwashers. Under the Decision and 

Order CNA is required to test and rate 

the specified basic model of its 

dishwasher in accordance with the 

alternate test procedure specified in the 

Decision and Order. 

DATES: The Decision and Order is 

effective on December 9, 2020. The 

Decision and Order will terminate upon 

the compliance date of any future 

amendment to the test procedure for 

dishwashers located at title 10 of the 

Code of Federal Regulations (‘‘CFR’’), 

part 430, subpart B, appendix C1 that 

addresses the issues presented in this 

waiver. At such time, CNA must use the 

relevant test procedure for this product 

for any testing to demonstrate 

compliance with the applicable 

standards, and any other representations 

of energy use.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: By letter 

dated June 30, 2020, CNA filed a 

petition for waiver and a petition for 

interim waiver from the DOE test 

procedure applicable to dishwashers set 

forth in Appendix C1. CNA sought a 

waiver for a non-soil-sensing, compact 

(countertop) dishwasher because CNA 

asserted that the product contains a 

design characteristic that prevents 

testing according to the prescribed test 

procedure. In its petition for waiver, 

CNA stated that the subject dishwasher 

does not have a water hookup but that 

water is provided by manually pouring 

5 liters of tap water into a built-in tank. 

CNA requested DOE waive sections of 

the dishwasher test procedure requiring 

water inflow and water pressure criteria 

based on a water hookup that allows 

automatic water inflow into the 

machine during the test cycle. Instead, 

CNA suggested an alternate test 

procedure in which the water tank is 

manually filled before the test is run 

and water consumption is stipulated. 

On September 4, 2020, DOE 

published a notice that announced its 

receipt of the petition for waiver and 

granted CNA an interim waiver. 85 FR 

55268 (‘‘Notice of Petition for Waiver’’). 

In the Notice of Petition for Waiver, 

DOE stated that, based on review of 

CNA’s petition, certain requirements in 

Appendix C1 are not applicable to the 

basic model for which CNA sought a 

waiver and DOE granted CNA an 

interim waiver that specified an 

alternate test procedure that would be 

appropriate for testing the subject basic 

model. 85 FR 55268, 55270–55271. 

In the Notice of Petition for Waiver, 

DOE also solicited comments from 

interested parties on all aspects of the 

petition and the specified alternate test 

procedure. 85 FR 55268. DOE received 

two comments in response to the Notice 

of Petition for Waiver, and an additional 

comment response on behalf of CNA. 

After reviewing these comments, DOE 

has concluded that absent a waiver, the 

basic model identified by CNA in its 

petition cannot be tested and rated for 

energy and water consumption on a 

basis representative of its true energy 

and water consumption characteristics. 

DOE has determined that the alternate 

test procedure granted in the interim 

waiver, with additional clarifying 

modifications, will allow for the 

accurate measurement of the energy and 

water use of the product while 

alleviating the problems CNA identified 

regarding testing the specified basic 

model according to DOE’s applicable 

dishwashers test procedure. 

In accordance with Title 10 of the 

Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR 

430.27(f)(2)), DOE gives notice of the 

issuance of its Decision and Order as set 

forth below. The Decision and Order 

grants CNA a waiver from the applicable 

test procedure at 10 CFR part 430, 

subpart B, appendix C1 for a specified 

basic model of dishwashers, and 

provides that CNA must test and rate 

such products using the alternate test 

procedure specified in the Decision and 

Order. CNA’s representations 

concerning the energy and water 

consumption of the specified basic 

models must be based on testing 

according to the provisions and 

restrictions in the alternate test 

procedure set forth in the Decision and 

Order, and the representations must 

fairly disclose the test results. 

Distributors, retailers, and private 

labelers are held to the same 

requirements when making 

representations regarding the energy 

and water consumption of these 

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

Consistent with 10 CFR 430.27(j), not 

later than February 8, 2021, any 

manufacturer currently distributing in 

commerce in the United States products 

employing a technology or characteristic 

that results in the same need for a 

waiver from the applicable test 

procedure must submit a petition for 

waiver. Manufacturers not currently 

distributing such products in commerce 

in the United States must petition for 

and be granted a waiver prior to the 

distribution in commerce of those 

products in the United States. 10 CFR 

430.27(j). Manufacturers may also 

submit a request for interim waiver 

pursuant to the requirements of 10 CFR 

430.27.
