SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background and Authority 

Part C of Title III of the Energy Policy 

and Conservation Act contains energy 

conservation requirements for, among 

other things, electric motors and small 

electric motors, including test 

procedures, energy efficiency standards, 

and compliance certification 

requirements. 42 U.S.C. 6311–6316.1

Section 345(c) of EPCA directs the 

Secretary of Energy to require 

manufacturers of electric motors ’’to 

certify through an independent testing 

or certification program nationally 

recognized in the United States, that 

[each electric motor subject to EPCA 

efficiency standards] meets the 

applicable standard.’’ 42 U.S.C. 6316(c). 

Regulations to implement this 

statutory directive are codified in Title 

10 of the Code of Federal Regulations 

Part 431 (10 CFR Part 431) at sections 

431.36 (Compliance Certification), 

431.20 (Department of Energy 

recognition of nationally recognized 

certification programs), and 431.21 

(Procedures for recognition and 

withdrawal of recognition of 

accreditation bodies and certification 

programs). Sections 431.20 and 431.21 

set forth the criteria and procedures for 

national recognition of an energy 

efficiency certification program for 

electric motors by DOE. With the 

support of a variety of interests, 

including industry and energy 

efficiency advocacy groups, DOE 

published a final rule on May 4, 2012, 

that established requirements for small 

electric motors that are essentially 

identical to the criteria and procedures 

for national recognition of an energy 

efficiency certification program for 

electric motors. See 77 FR 26608, 26629 

(codifying parallel provisions for small 

electric motors at 10 CFR 431.447 and 

431.448). 

For a certification program to be 

classified by the DOE as being 

nationally recognized in the United 

States for the testing and certification of 

small electric motors, the organization 

operating the program must submit a 

petition to the Department requesting 

such classification, in accordance with 

sections 431.447 and 431.448. In sum, 

for the Department to grant such a 

petition, the certification program must: 

(1) Have satisfactory standards and 

procedures for conducting and 

administering a certification system, 

and for granting a certificate of 

conformity; (2) be independent of small 

electric motor manufacturers, importers, 

distributors, private labelers or vendors; 

(3) be qualified to operate a certification 

system in a highly competent manner; 

and (4) be expert in the test procedures 

and methodologies in IEEE Standard 

112–2004 Test Methods A and B, IEEE 

Standard 114–2010, CSA Standard 

C390–10, and CSA C747 or similar 

procedures and methodologies for 

determining the energy efficiency of 

small electric motors, and have 

satisfactory criteria and procedures for 

selecting and sampling small electric 

motors for energy efficiency testing. 10 

CFR 431.447(b). 

Each petition requesting classification 

as a nationally recognized certification 

program must contain a narrative 

statement as to why the organization 

meets the above criteria, be 

accompanied by documentation that 

supports the narrative statement, and be 

signed by an authorized representative. 

10 CFR 431.447(c). 

II. Discussion 

Pursuant to sections 431.447 and 

431.448, on November 1, 2013, CSA 

submitted a ‘‘Petition for Recognition as 

a Nationally Recognized Certification 

Program for small electric motors’’ 

(‘‘Petition’’ or ‘‘CSA Petition’’). The 

Petition was accompanied by a cover 

letter from CSA to the Department, and 

the petition itself contained five 

separate sections—(1) Scope and 

Application, (2) Overview of CSA 

Group, (3) Certification and Testing— 

Quality Management System, (4) CSA 

Group’s Motor Efficiency Verification 

Program—Product Directory, and (5) 

Examples of Other CSA Group 

Accreditations. In accordance with the 

requirements of section 431.448(b), DOE 

published CSA’s petition in the Federal 

Register on December 30, 2013 and 

requested public comments. 78 FR 

79423. 

In response to the notice of petition, 

the National Electrical Manufacturers 

Association (NEMA), a trade association 

representing manufacturers of electrical 

products and equipment, including 

small electric motors, submitted 

comments to DOE in a letter dated 

January 24, 2013 (Comment response to 

the published Notice of Petition, No. 3). 

In these comments, NEMA generally 

stated its support for CSA’s petition and 

recommended that DOE grant 

recognition to CSA. The comments also 

specifically explained that, in NEMA’s 

view, (1) CSA has satisfactory standards 

and procedures for conducting and 

administering a certification system, 

including periodic follow-up to ensure 

basic model compliance; (2) CSA is 

independent of small motor 

manufacturers, importers, distributors, 

private labelers, or vendors; and (3) CSA 

is expert in the content and application 

of the test procedures and 

methodologies in IEEE Std 112–2004 

Test Methods A and B, IEEE Std 114– 

2010, CSA 390–10, and CSA C747 or 

similar procedures and methodologies 

for determining the energy efficiency of 

small electric motors. NEMA added that 

CSA uses technically appropriate and 

statistically rigorous criteria and 

procedures for selecting and sampling 

small electric motors for energy 

efficiency testing. 

Having received no other comments 

regarding CSA’s petition, DOE finds no 

specific cause to reject CSA’s request for 

recognition as a nationally recognized 

certification program for small electric 

motors. This determination is based 

primarily on DOE’s previous recognition 

of CSA as a nationally recognized 

certification program for electric motors 

(the sampling and testing requirements 


tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 42 / Tuesday, March 4, 2014 / Notices 12191 

for which are substantially the same), as 

well as the support of the motors 

industry as expressed by NEMA. 

The Department hereby announces its 

interim determination pursuant to 10 

CFR 431.448(d) that CSA is classified as 

a nationally recognized certification 

program for small electric motors, and 

will accept comments on this interim 

determination until April 3, 2014. Any 

person submitting written comments to 

DOE with respect to this interim 

determination must also, at the same 

time, send a copy of such comments to 

CSA. As provided under § 431.448(c), 

CSA may submit to the Department a 

written response to any such comments. 

After receiving any such comments and 

responses, the Department will issue a 

final determination on the CSA Petition, 

in accordance with § 431.448(e) of 10 

CFR part 431. 

Issued in Washington, DC, on February 26, 

2014.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Titles: FERC–520 (Application for 

Authority to Hold Interlocking 

Directorate Positions), FERC Form 561 

(Annual Report of Interlocking 

Positions), and FERC–566 (Annual 

Report of a Utility’s 20 Largest

OMB Control Nos.: FERC–521 (1902– 

0083); FERC–561 (1902–0099); FERC– 

566 (1902–0114). 

Type of Request: Three-year extension 

of the FERC–521, FERC Form 561, and 

FERC–566 information collection 

requirements with no changes to the 

current reporting requirements. 

Abstract: The Federal Power Act 

(FPA), as amended by the Public Utility 

Regulatory Policies Act of 1978 

(PURPA), mandates federal oversight 

and approval of certain electric 

corporate activities to ensure that 

neither public nor private interests are 

adversely affected. Accordingly, the 

FPA proscribes related information 

filing requirements to achieve this goal. 

Such filing requirements are found in 

the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), 

specifically in 18 CFR Parts 45, 46, and 

Section 131.31 and serve the basis for 

FERC–520, Form 561, and FERC–566. 

Overview of the Three Data 

Collections. FERC–520, Form 561 and 

FERC–566 provide views into complex 

electric corporate activities and serve to 

safeguard public and private interests, 

as the FPA requires. The Commission 

can use its enforcement authority when 

violations and omissions of FPA 

requirements occur. 

FERC–520: FERC–520 is divided into 

two types of applications: Full and 

informational. The full application, as 

specified in 18 CFR 45.8, implements 

the FPA requirement under Section 

305(b) that it is unlawful for any person 

to concurrently hold the positions of 

officer or director of more than one 

public utility; or a public utility and a 

bank or financial institution that 

underwrites or markets public utility 

securities; or a public utility and an 

electrical equipment supplier to that 

public utility unless authorized by order 

of the Commission. In order to obtain 

authorization, an applicant must 

demonstrate that neither public nor 

private interests will be adversely 

affected by the holding of the position. 

The full application provides 

Commission staff with a list of certain 

information about any interlocking 

position for which he/she seeks 

authorization including, but not limited 

to, a description of duties, estimated 

time devoted to the position, and any 

indebtedness to the public utility. The 

informational application, as specified 

in 18 CFR 45.9, allows an applicant to 

receive automatic authorization for an 

interlocked position upon receipt of 

filing with the FERC. The informational 

application applies only to those 

individuals who seek authorization as 

(1) an officer or director of two or more 

public utilities where the same holding 

company owns, directly or indirectly, 

that percentage of each utility’s stock (of 

whatever class or classes) which is 

required by each utility’s by-laws to 

elect directors; (2) an officer or director 

of two public utilities, if one utility is 

owned, wholly or in part, by the other 

and, as its primary business, owns and 

operates transmission or generation 

facilities to provide transmission service 

or electric power for sale to its owners; 

or (3) an officer or director of more than 

one public utility, if such person is 

already authorized under Part 45 to hold 

different positions as officer or director 

of those utilities where the interlock 

involves affiliated public utilities. 

Pursuant to 18 CFR 45.5, in the event 

that an applicant resigns or withdraws 

from all Commission-authorized 

interlocked positions within a corporate 

structure or is not re-elected or reappointed to any interlocked position 

within that corporate structure, FERC 

requires that the applicant submit a 

notice of change within 30 days from 

the date of the change. 

FERC Form 561: The Commission 

uses FERC Form 561 to implement the 

FPA requirement that those who are 

authorized to hold interlocked 

directorates annually disclose all the 

interlocked positions they held the prior 

year. The positions that must be 

disclosed in the Form 561 are those
