Energy Conservation Program for Consumer Products; Petition for Waiver and Application for Interim Waiver of Refrigerator and Refrigerator-Freezer Test Procedures From Amana Refrigeration Inc. (RF005)

AGENCY: Conservation and Renewable Energy Office, DOE.
SUMMARY: Today's notice publishes a "Petition for Waiver" and "Application for Interim Waiver" from the Amana Refrigeration Inc. (Amana). of Amana, Iowa, requesting a waiver from the c-·,i:,ting Dp.parfm.,nt of Energy (DOE) test procedure for refrigerators and refrigerator-freezers for its model DE25 variable defrost control refrigeratorfreezer, In addition, today's notice grants Amana's application for an Interim Waiver.

Amana is a manufacturer ofhome appliances including refrigerators and refrigerator-freezers. Amana has developed a variable defrost control that initiates defrost cycles in refrigerator-freezer in response to operating conditions and usage patterns. Amaha requests relief from the existing test procedures because it believes they yield materially inaccurate estimates of the energy consumption for models equipped with the variable defrost controls.

DOE is soliciting comments. data and information regarding the petition. DATE: DOE will accept comments, data and information not later than January 9.1989.

The Energy Conservation Program for Consumer Products (other than automobiles) was established pursuant to the Energy Policy and Conservation Act (EPCA), Pub. L. 94-163, 89 Stat. 917,

as amended by the National Energy Conservation Policy Act (NECPA). Pub, L. 95-619, 92 Stat. 3266, the National Appliance Energy Conservation Act of 1987 (NAECA), Pub, L.**10~12,** and the National Appliance Energy Conservation Amendments of 1988 (NAECA 1988), Pub. L. 100-357, which requires DOE to prescribe standardized test procedures to measure the energy consumption of certain consumer products. including refrigerators and refrigerator-freezers. The intent of the test procedures is to provide a comparable measure of energy consumption that will assist consumers in making purchasing decisions. These test procedures appear at 10 CFR Pdrt 430, Subpart B.

DOE has amended the prescribed test procedures by adding 10 CFR 430.27 on September 26, 1980, creating the waiver process, 45 FR 64108. DOE further amended the Department's appliance test procedure waiver process to allow the Assistant Secretary for Conservation and Renewable Energy to grant an interim waiver from test procedure requirements to manufacturers that have petitioned DOE for a waiver of such prescribed test procedures. 51 FR 42823, November 26,1986,

The waiver process allows the Assistant Secretary for Conservation and RenewabJe Energy 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 according to the prescribed test procedures or when the prescribed test procedures may evaluate the basic model in a manner so unrepresentative ofits true energy consumption as to provide materially inaccurate comparative data. Waivers generally remain in effect until final test procedure amendments become effective. resolving the problem that is the subject ofa waiver.

The interim waiver provisions, added by the 1986 amendment. allow the Assistant Secretary to grant an interim waiver when it is determined that the applicant will experience economic hardship if the Application for 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 reasons to grant immediate relief pending a determination on the petition for waiver.

Amana's petition seeks a waiver from the DOE test provisions that requires the energy consumption ofrefrigeratorfreezers be determined by Appendix A1 of Subpart B of 10 CFR Part 430. Amana states that the existing test procedure does not adequately evaluate the true energy consumption ofits product because there is no provision in the existing test procedure to determine the interval between defrost cycles for a refrigerator-freezer with a variable defrost control. Amana believes that the existing test procedure is likely to incorrectly estimate the energy consumption of these models, thereby misleading the consumer. Since the current DOE test procedures do not address this control feature, Amana asks that the waiver be granted. AmanLi requests approval to perform testing to determine energy c(.H1sumption in accurdance V\;til ,he DOE**P;'Li;J'~l'd** test procedure as published in the Federal Register on September 26, 1988. 53 F'i< 37416,

In reviewing Amana's Application for Interim Waiver, the Department finds -. that the company has not provided sufficient information for 

### DOE to evaluate what,

or competitive disadvantage, Amana 

### will likely experience absent a favorable

However, Amana has demonstrated· through the granting by 

### DOE ofthe four previous waivers and the Department's proposed rule published 

### in the Federal

. Register on September 26, 1988 (53 FR

37416) the likelihood of success ofits petition for waiver.

Therefore, the Department finds that it would be desirable for public policy

reasons to grant Amana's Application for an Interim Waiver. Specifically, in those instances where the likely success of the petition for waiver has been demonstrated based upon DOE having granted a waiver for similar product design, it is in the public interest to have similar products tested and rated for energy consumption on a comparable basis.

Pursuant to paragraph (b) of 10 CFR 430.27, DOE is hereby publishing the "Petition for Waiver" in its entirety. The petition contains no confidential information. DOE solicits comments, data, and information regarding the petition.

In addition. pursuant to paragraph (e) 1f § 430.27 of the Code of Federal .{egulations, the following letter granting the Application for Interim Waiver was issued to Amana Refrigeration, Incorporated.

Ifit 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 linmediate reliefpending a determination on the petition for waiver.

·Amana has demonstrated the likely

success ofits Petition for Waiver based upon the showing that DOE proposed test procedures for variable defrost control refrigerator.freezers on September 26. 1988, (53 FR 37416) and that four waivers had been granted from the Department's refrigerator and refrigerator-freezer test procedures for models with variable defrost controls.

### to sixteen (16) compressor
run time hours. In a non-use vacation mode. the defrost cycle lenghtenll to seventy-two (72) compressor run time hours.

5. Basisfor Waiver. 

### Without a waiver. this refrigerator-freezer must be tested under the provisions 

### of 10 CFR Part 430. Subpart B. Appendix AI. That test does not adequately evaluate the true energy consumption ofthis product. There is no provision in 

### the test procedure 10 CFR. Part 430. Subpart B. Appendix Al to determine the interval between defrost cycles for a refrigerator-freezer with an electronic variable defrost control as described above. which would be comparable to normal usage patterns. Under 

### the condiuons specified in 

### the test procedures, it 

### i. likely the actual energy consumption of the Amana variable defrost system will 

### be estimated incorrectly, and 

### be misleading to consumers. This result would 

### be unfair to both consumers and 

### to Amana. The consumer, when comparing oper'1ting costs. might be led into purchasing a product 

### baaed upon incorrect judgment. about energy consumption because 

### the labeling information is 

### Dot representative of normal usage patterns. Amana, on the other 

### hand. would be placed in 

### the position ofproviding cost of opera

### tion information for the 

### energy guide label which it believes is 

### inaccurate.
