SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title III, 

Part B1 of the Energy Policy and 

Conservation Act of 1975 (‘‘EPCA’’ or, 

‘‘the Act’’), Pub. L. 94–163 (42 U.S.C. 

6291, et seq.) sets forth a variety of 

provisions designed to improve energy 

efficiency and established the Energy 

Conservation Program for Consumer 

Products Other Than Automobiles.2

These include residential clothes dryers, 

the subject of today’s notice. (42 U.S.C. 

6292(a)(8)) 

Under EPCA, the energy conservation 

program consists essentially of four 

parts: (1) Testing, (2) labeling, (3) 

Federal energy conservation standards, 

and (4) certification and enforcement 

procedures. The testing requirements 

consist of test procedures that 

manufacturers of covered products must 

use as the basis for (1) certifying to DOE 

that their products comply with the 

applicable energy conservation 

standards adopted under EPCA, and (2) 

making representations about the 

efficiency of those products. (42 U.S.C. 

6293(c); 42 U.S.C. 6295(s)) Similarly, 

DOE must use these test procedures to 

determine whether the products comply 

with any relevant standards 

promulgated under EPCA. (42 U.S.C. 

6295(s)) 

Under 42 U.S.C. 6293, EPCA sets forth 

the criteria and procedures DOE must 

follow when prescribing or amending 

test procedures for covered products, 

including clothes dryers. EPCA provides 

in relevant part that any test procedures

Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 205 / Thursday, October 23, 2014 / Proposed Rules 63337 

3 ‘‘Bone dry’’ is defined in the DOE clothes dryer 

test procedure as a condition of a load of test 

clothes which has been dried in a dryer at 

maximum temperature for a minimum of 10 

minutes, removed and weighed before cool down, 

and then dried again for 10-minute periods until the 

final weight change of the load is 1 percent or less.

prescribed or amended under this 

section shall be reasonably designed to 

produce test results which measure 

energy efficiency, energy use or 

estimated annual operating cost of a 

covered product during a representative 

average use cycle or period of use and 

shall not be unduly burdensome to 

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

In addition, if DOE determines that a 

test procedure amendment is warranted, 

it must publish proposed test 

procedures and offer the public an 

opportunity to present oral and written 

comments on them. (42 U.S.C. 

6293(b)(2)) Finally, in any rulemaking to 

amend a test procedure, DOE must 

determine to what extent, if any, the 

proposed test procedure would alter the 

measured energy efficiency of any 

covered product as determined under 

the existing test procedure. (42 U.S.C. 

6293(e)(1)) 

DOE’s test procedures for clothes 

dryers are codified in appendix D, 

appendix D1, and appendix D2 to 

subpart B of Title 10 of the Code of 

Federal Regulations (CFR). DOE’s 

predecessor, the Federal Energy 

Administration, established the test 

procedure for clothes dryers at appendix 

D in a final rule published in the 

Federal Register on September 14, 1977 

(the September 1977 Final Rule). 42 FR 

46145. On May 19, 1981, DOE 

published a final rule to amend the test 

procedure by establishing a field-use 

factor for clothes dryers with automatic 

termination controls, clarifying the test 

cloth specifications and clothes dryer 

preconditioning, and making editorial 

and minor technical changes. 46 FR 

27324. The test procedure includes 

provisions for determining the energy 

factor (EF) for clothes dryers, which is 

a measure of the total energy required to 

dry a standard test load of laundry to a 

‘‘bone dry’’ 3 state. 

On January 6, 2011, DOE published in 

the Federal Register a final rule for the 

residential clothes dryer and room air 

conditioner test procedure rulemaking 

(76 FR 972), in which it (1) adopted the 

provisions for the measurement of 

standby mode and off mode energy use 

for those products along with a new 

energy efficiency metric for clothes 

dryers, combined energy factor (CEF), 

that incorporates energy use in active 

mode, standby mode, and off mode; and 

(2) adopted several amendments to the 

clothes dryer and room air conditioner 

test procedures concerning the active 

mode for these products. 76 FR 972. 

DOE created a new appendix D1 in 10 

CFR part 430 subpart B that contained 

the amended test procedure for clothes 

dryers. 76 FR 1032 (Jan. 6, 2011). 

DOE published a final rule on August 

14, 2013, to amend the clothes dryer test 

procedure, in which it (1) amended 

appendix D1 to update the reference to 

the latest edition of the International 

Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) 

Standard 62301, ‘‘Household electrical 

appliances–Measurement of standby 

power,’’ Edition 2.0 2011–01; (2) 

amended appendix D and appendix D1 

to clarify the cycle settings used for the 

test cycle, the requirements for the gas 

supply for gas clothes dryers, the 

installation conditions for console 

lights, the method for measuring the 

drum capacity, the maximum allowable 

weighing scale range, and the allowable 

use of a relative humidity meter; and (3) 

created a new appendix D2 that 

includes the amendments discussed 

above and testing methods for 

measuring the effects of automatic cycle 

termination. 78 FR 49608, 49610–12 

(Aug. 14, 2013). Manufacturers must use 

the test procedures in appendix D1 to 

demonstrate compliance with energy 

conservation standards for clothes 

dryers as of January 1, 2015. 76 FR 

52852, 52854 (Aug. 24, 2011) and 78 FR 

49608, 49461 (Aug. 14, 2014). 

Alternatively, manufacturers may use 

the test procedures in appendix D2 to 

demonstrate compliance with January 2, 

2015 energy conservation standards. 78 

FR 49608, 49461 (Aug. 14, 2014). 

Interested parties have commented 

publicly, as part of the previous test 

procedure rulemaking process and more 

recently through other public channels, 

that the DOE clothes dryer test 

procedures may not produce results that 

are representative of consumer use with 

regards to test load size and 

composition, cycle settings for the test 

cycle, and other provisions in the test 

procedure. DOE also notes that Oak 

Ridge National Laboratory and Pacific 

Northwest National Laboratory recently 

published reports evaluating clothes 

dryer performance using the new 

appendix D2 test method and 

preliminary investigations of new 

automatic cycle termination concepts 

for improving clothes dryer 

efficiency.456 In consideration of 

interested parties concerns regarding the 

test procedure and this recent clothes 

dryer automatic cycle termination 

research, DOE is initiating an effort to 

determine whether amendments to the 

test procedure are warranted, in 

accordance with 42 U.S.C. 6293(b)(2). 

In addition, EPCA requires that, not 

later than 6 years after the issuance of 

a final rule establishing or amending a 

standard, DOE publish a NOPR 

proposing new standards or a notice of 

determination that the existing 

standards do not need to be amended. 

(42 U.S.C. 6295(m)(1)). Any test 

procedure amendments developed as 

part of the test procedure rulemaking 

initiated by today’s notice may be 

considered in the next energy 

conservation standards rulemaking for 

residential clothes dryers. 

Public Participation 

DOE will hold a public meeting for 

interested parties to discuss issues 

related to the clothes dryer test 

procedure, including test load 

composition, test load size, test cycle 

settings, and any other issues related to 

developing a test method for measuring 

energy use during a representative 

average use cycle and to gather data 

from the public on these issues. During 

the meeting, DOE expects to present its 

latest available test data concerning 

automatic cycle termination and 

different test loads, and to invite 

discussion among interested parties on 

modifications to the test procedure to 

produce more representative test results 

while not being unduly burdensome to 

conduct. All of the feedback and data 

gathered during the public meeting will 

be used in consideration of any 

amendments to the DOE clothes dryer 

test procedure. 

The public meeting will be conducted 

in an informal, facilitated, conference 

style. There shall be no discussion of 

proprietary information, costs or prices, 

market shares, or other commercial 

matters regulated by U.S. antitrust laws. 

A court reporter will record the 

proceedings of the public meeting, after 

which a transcript will be available for 

purchase from the court reporter and 

placed on the DOE Web site at: http://
