they will do the same for fiscal year

1986 funds. If this happens, the fund

raising deadline will most likely be July

15, 1987. However, if these funds are

only available for one year, then the

fund raising deadline will most likely be

July 15, 1986.

After the Congress enacts the fiscal

year 1986 appropriation for the

Endowment Grant program, the

Secretary will announce in the Federal

Register the deadline by which an

institution selected to receive'an

endowment grant in the fiscal year 1986

competition must raise matching funds

and certify the amount of such funds

raised by the institution. (34 CFR

628.41(b))

Available funds: Fiscal year 1986

funds have not yet been appropriated

for the Endowment Grant Program.

However, applications for new grants

under the Endowment Grant Program

are being requested at this time so they

can be evaluated and the grants process

completed as early as possible in order

that selected institutions can have as

long a fund-raising period as possible.

The Administration's fiscal year 1986

budget request included $141,208,000 for

the Institutional Air Programs. Of that

amount $23,208,000 was requested for

FY 1986 grants under the Endowment

Grant Program.

Grants awarded under the

Endowment Grant Program in FY 1986

will range from $50,000 to $500,000.

Applicants are urged to request grants in

an amount that they will realistically be

able to match by the end of the fundraising period. The Secretary anticipates

awarding approximately 60 grants in FY

1986.

These estimates do not bind the U.S.

Department of Education to a specific

number of grants, or to the amount of

any grant, unless that amount is

otherwise specified by statute or

regulations.

With funds transferred from the

Special Needs Program to the

Endowment Grant Program, the

Secretary awards endowment grants so

that the amounts required under 34 CFR

626.31(a) and (b) of the Special Needs

Program regulations to be awarded to

junior or community colleges and to

institutions with special needs that have

historically served substantial numbers

of black students will be so awarded.

(20 U.S.C. 1085a, 1069c). The

Administration's fiscal year 1986 budget

request recommended that $45,741,000 of

the monies appropriated for the

Institutional Aid Programs be available

for awards to historically black colleges

and universities. This reservation may

limit funds available to institutions that

are not historically black institutions

under this competition.

Application Forms: Application forms

and program information packages are

expected to be ready for mailing by

October 18, 1985. Interested parties may

obtain a copy of the application form by

Derma R. Fitzpatrick,

Acting Assistant Secretary, Conservation and

Renewable Energy.

Decision and Order of the Department of

Energy, Office of Conservation and

Renewable Energy

(Case No. F-014)

In the Matter of: Magic Chef Company, Inc.

The Energy Conservation Program for

Consumer Products was established pursuant

to the Energy Policy and Conservation Act,

Pub. L. 94-163.89 Stat. 917, as amended by

the National Energy Conservation Policy Act,

Pub. L. 95-619, 92 Stat. 32G3, which requires

the Department of Energy (DOE) to prescribe

standardized test procedures to measure the

energy consumption of certain consumer

products, including furnaces. The intent of the

test procedures is to provide a comparable

measure of energy consumption that will

assist consumers in making purchase

decisions. These test procedures appear at 10

CFR Part 430, Subpart B.

The Department of Energy amended the

prescribed test procedure regulations, by

adding § 430.27, to allow the Department to

waive temporarily test procedures for a

particular basic model when a petitioner

shows that the basic model contains one or

more design characteristics which prevent

testing of the basic model according to the

prescribed test procedures or when the

prescribed test procedures may evaluate the

basic model in a manner so unrepresentative

of its true energy consumption characteristics

as to provide materially inadequate

comparative data. 45 FR 64108 (September 28,

1980).

Pursuant to § 430.27(g), the Department

shall publish in the Federal Register notice of

each waiver granted, and any limiting

conditions of each waiver.

Magic Chef Company. Inc. (Magic Chef),

filed a "Petition for Waiver" in accordance

with § 430.27 of 10 CFR Part 430. DOE

published in the Federal Register the Magic

Chef petition and solicited comments, data.

and information respecting the petition. 50 FR

24288 (June 10, 1985). No comments were

received. DOE consulted with the Federal

Trade Commission on July 29,1985,

concerning the Magic Chef petition.

Assertions and Determinations

Magic Chefs petition seeks a waiver from

the DOE test provisions that require a 1.5

minute time delay between the ignition of the

burner and the starting of the circulating air

blower. Instead, Magic Chef requests the

allowance to test using a 20 second blower

time delay when testing its Ultra series gas

furnaces. Magic Chef states that the 20

second delay is indicative of how the Ultra

series models actually operate and because

such a delay results in an improvement in

efficiency of approximatley 0.5%, the waiver

should be granted.

The blower controls incorpc need on the

Magic Chef furnace are designed to impose a

20 second blower delay in every instance of

start-up, Since the current provisions do not

specifically address this type of control and

since no comments objecting to the petition

were reccivad, DOE zbices that a waiver

sha:):i be granted to nl ow the 20 second

blower time delay when testing the Magic

Chef Ultra series furnancea. Accordingly,

with regard to testing the Ultra series

furnaces only, today's decision and order

exempts Magic Chef from the existing

provisions regarding blower controls and

allows testing with the 20 second delay.

It is therefore ordered that:

(1) The "Petition for Waiver" filed by

Magic Chef Company, Inc. (F-014), is hereby

granted as set forth in paragraph (2) below,

subject to the provisions of paragraphs (3)

and (4).

(2) Notwithstanding any contrary

provisions of Appendix N of 10 CFR, Part 430,

Subpart B. Magic Chef Company, Inc. shall be

permitted to test its Ultra series gas furnaces

on the basis of the test procedure specified in

10 CFR, Part 430, with the modification set

forth below:

(i) Section 9.3.1 of ANSI/ASHRAE

Standard 103-1982 is deleted and replaced

with the following paragraph:

Gas- and Oil-Fueled Central Furnaces.

After equilibrium conditions are achieved

following the cool-down test and the required

measurements performed, turn on the furnace

and measure the flue gas temperature, using

the thermecopule grid described above, at 0.5

and 2.5 minutes after the main burner(s)

comes on. After the burner start-up, delay the

blower start-up by 1.5 minutes (t-), unless: (1)

The furnace employs a single motor to drive

the power burner and the indoor air

circulation blower, in which case the burner

and blower shall be started together, (2) the

furnace is designed to operate using an

unvarying delay time that is other than 1.5

minutes, in which case the fan control shall

be permitted to start the blower; or (31 the

delay time result in the activation of a

temperature safety device which shuts off the

burner, in which case the fan control shall be

permitted to start the blower. In the latter

case, if the fan control is adjustable, set it to

start the blower at the highest temperature. If

the fan control is permitted to start the

blower, measure time delay, (t-), using a stop

watch. Record the measured temperatures.

During the heat-up test for oil-fueled

furnaces, maintain the draft in the flue pipe

with ±- 0.01 in. of water gauge of the

manufacturer's recommended on-period

draft.

(ii) With the exception of the modification

set forth in subparagraph (i) above, Magic

Chef Company, Inc. shall comply in all

respects with the test procedures specified in

Appendix N of 10 CFR Part 430, Subpart D.

(3) The waiver shall remain in effect from

the date of issuance of this order until the

Department of Energy prescribes final test

procedures appropriate to the Ultra series

warm air furnace controls manufactured by

Magic Chef Company, Inc.

(4) This waiver is based upon the presumed

validity of statements, allegations, and

documentary materials submitted by

applicant. This waiver may be revoked or

modified at any time upon a determination

that the factual basis underlying the

application is incorrect.
