80292 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 245 / Wednesday, December 22, 2010 / Rules and Regulations 

Fifth Amendment to the U.S. 

Constitution. 

M. Section 32 of the Federal Energy 

Administration Act of 1974 

Under section 301 of the Department 

of Energy Organization Act (Pub. L. 95– 

91), the Department of Energy must 

comply with section 32 of the Federal 

Energy Administration Act of 1974 

(Pub. L. 93–275), as amended by the 

Federal Energy Administration 

Authorization Act of 1977 (Pub. L. 95– 

70). (15 U.S.C. 788) Section 32 provides 

that where a proposed rule authorizes or 

requires use of commercial standards, 

the notice of proposed rulemaking must 

inform the public of the use and 

background of such standards. In 

addition, section 32(c) requires DOE to 

consult with the Department of Justice 

and the Federal Trade Commission 

concerning the impact of the 

commercial or industry standards on 

competition. This final rule to waive the 

provisions of 42 U.S.C. 6297(c) in 

certain circumstances is not a proposed 

rule and does not authorize or require 

the use of any commercial standards. 

Therefore, no consultation with either 

DOJ or FTC is required. 

N. Congressional Notification 

As required by 5 U.S.C. 801, DOE will 

report to Congress on the promulgation 

of today’s rule. The report will state that 

it has been determined that the rule is 

not a ‘‘major rule’’ as defined by 5 U.S.C. 

804(2). 

III. Approval of the Office of the 

Secretary 

The Secretary of Energy has approved 

publication of this final rule. 

Issued in Washington, DC, on December 

15, 2010.

Assistant Secretary, Energy Efficiency and 

Renewable Energy.

Energy Conservation Program: Energy 

Conservation Standards for Electric 

Motors 

AGENCY: Office of Energy Efficiency and 

Renewable Energy, Department of 

Energy. 

ACTION: Final rule; technical correction. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of 

Energy (DOE) published a final rule on 

March 23, 2009, promulgating energy 

conservation standards for certain 

electric motors as prescribed in the 

Energy Policy and Conservation Act, as 

amended by the Energy Independence 

and Security Act. This document is 

being issued to correct the energy 

efficiency levels that DOE promulgated 

for NEMA Design B general purpose 

electric motors that, due to a drafting 

error, are not consistent with statutory 

requirements. 

DATES: This technical correction is 

effective as of December 22, 2010.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

The Energy Policy and Conservation 

Act (EPCA), as amended by section 

313(b)(1)(B) of the Energy Independence 

and Security Act (EISA 2007), requires 

each National Electrical Manufacturers 

Association (NEMA) Design B, general 

purpose electric motor with a power 

rating of more than 200 horsepower, but 

not greater than 500 horsepower, 

manufactured (alone or as a component 

of another piece of equipment) after 

December 19, 2010, to have a nominal 

full load efficiency that is not less than 

the values in NEMA Standard MG–1 

(2006) Table 12–11. (42 U.S.C. 

6313(b)(2)(D)) DOE codified this 

requirement at 10 CFR 431.25(f). 74 FR 

12058 (March 23, 2009) 

It was recently discovered that the 

efficiency levels under 10 CFR 431.25(f), 

for NEMA Design B, six-pole open 

motors rated 250, 300, and 350 

horsepower are not consistent with the 

EISA 2007 levels as prescribed. Today’s 

final rule conforms these efficiency 

levels with EPCA, as amended by EISA 

2007, by replacing the nominal full load 

efficiency of ‘‘94.5’’ with ‘‘95.4.’’ 

II. Need for Correction 

As published, the nominal full load 

efficiency table at 10 CFR 431.25(f) 

contains three values that deviate from 

the requirements established by EPCA, 

as amended by EISA 2007. To correct 

this error, DOE is amending 10 CFR 

431.25(f) to replace the current table 

with a corrected table of values. In light 

of the statutory requirement, the change 

addressed by today’s document is 

technical in nature. In addition, because 

DOE does not have the discretion to 

deviate from these statutorily-prescribed 

requirements, DOE finds that there is 

good cause under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B) to 

not issue a separate notice to solicit 

public comment on the changes 

contained in this document. Issuing a 

separate notice to solicit public 

comments would be impractical, 

unnecessary, and contrary to the public 

interest.

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), Department of 

Transportation (DOT). 

ACTION: Final rule; correction. 

SUMMARY: The FAA is correcting an 

airworthiness directive (AD) that was 

published in the Federal Register. That 

AD applies to the specified model 

helicopters. Table 1 of the AD has two 

part numbers that do not contain the 

‘‘SC’’ prefix. This document adds the 

prefix and corrects that error. In all 

other respects, the original document 

remains the same. 

DATES: This final rule is effective 

December 22, 2010. The effective date 

for AD 2010–22–08 remains November 

26, 2010. 

ADDRESSES: You may examine the AD 

docket on the Internet at http:// 

www.regulations.gov; or in person at the 

Docket Management Facility between 

9 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through 

Friday, except Federal holidays. The AD 

docket contains this AD, the regulatory 

evaluation, any comments received, and 

other information. The address for the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This AD, 

Amendment 39–16487 (75 FR 65222, 

October 22, 2010), requires replacing all 

servo-controls that are identified in the 

Applicability section, Table 1, of the 

AD. 

As published, two part numbers 

shown in Table 1 on Federal Register 

page 65224, under item 2. of PART 39— 

AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES section, 

are incorrect. The first incorrect part 

number (P/N) is ‘‘5084;’’ the correct 

P/N is ‘‘SC5084.’’ The second incorrect 

P/N is ‘‘5084–1;’’ the correct P/N is 

‘‘SC5084–1.’’ The other P/Ns shown in 

Table 1 remain unchanged. 

No other part of the preamble or 

regulatory information has been 

changed; therefore, only Table 1 of the 

final rule is being published in the 

Federal Register. 

The effective date of this AD is 

November 26, 2010. 

Correction of Regulatory Text 

§ 39.13 [Corrected]

published on October 22, 2010 (75 FR 

65222), on pages 65223 and 65224, 

Table 1 containing the part numbers 

5084 and 5084–1 without the correct 

prefix ‘‘SC’’ is corrected to read as 

follows:
