peninsula, as well as adjacent nearshore 

waters of the Pacific Ocean. SSTC–S 

consists of four oceanside beach lanes, 

four boat training lanes, and inland 

training areas and facilities inside a 

fenced area. SSTC–N and SSTC–S are 

separated by the Silver Strand State 

Beach. A training area located in the 

southern near shore area of NASNI, 

separate from SSTC, is used for similar 

types of training, and is also part of the 

DEIS. This NASNI training area is 

composed of the beaches and near shore 

waters from Breakers Beach to Zuniga 

Jetty, west of the city of Coronado. The 

Navy is not proposing to expand the 

geographic area of SSTC or the NASNI 

training area. 

The purpose of the proposed action is 

to improve the availability and quality 

of training opportunities at SSTC to 

achieve required levels of operational 

readiness. The proposed action is 

needed to provide a training 

environment consisting of training areas 

and range facilities with the capacity 

and capabilities to fully support 

required training tasks for operational 

units and military schools and meet the 

operational readiness requirements of 

Title 10, Section 5062 of the United 

States Code (10 U.S.C. 5062). 

Accordingly, the proposed action will 

meet training requirements by: (1) 

Continuing current training and 

increasing the number of existing 

training activities and introduce new 

training activities and platforms in 

support of Fleet Response Training Plan 

(FRTP) and surge requirements; (2) 

providing assured year-round access 

and unencumbered use of training areas 

to meet current and future training 

needs per the Navy Tactical Task List; 

and (3) providing a training range and 

training facilities that afford operational 

commands the flexibility to achieve 

diverse and realistic training at SSTC. 

Under the No Action Alternative, 

training activities would continue at 

baseline levels. SSTC would not 

accommodate an increase in training 

tempo or type required to execute the 

FRTP or introduce new platforms or 

equipment into training on SSTC. Under 

the No Action Alternative, the Navy 

would not accommodate training 

requirements for repositioned forces in 

the Southern California area. In 

addition, under the No Action 

Alternative, training access restrictions, 

including seasonal restrictions on SSTC 

beach lanes and in inland areas of 

SSTC–S would remain unchanged. 

Alternative 1, the Navy’s preferred 

alternative, is designed to meet Navy 

and DoD current and near-term 

operational training requirements. 

Under Alternative 1, the Navy would 

increase the tempo and types of 

training, conduct existing routine 

training at additional locations within 

established SSTC training areas, 

introduce new platforms and equipment 

into training, and increase access and 

availability to SSTC training areas. New 

platforms and equipment would include 

replacement of Amphibious Assault 

Vehicles with Expeditionary Fighting 

Vehicles, an updated Offshore 

Petroleum Discharge System, and the 

MH–60R/S Seahawk Multi-Mission 

helicopter. Access and availability to 

SSTC training areas would be increased 

in three ways: (1) SSTC–N oceanside 

beach training lanes Blue 2, Orange 1 

and Orange 2 (that are currently 

restricted during the nesting season) 

would be opened for training during the 

nesting season if other lanes are not 

available or if the lanes provide 

attributes more appropriate for training 

than other available lanes; (2) a 

maximum of 22 concurrent western 

snowy plover nests would be buffered 

for avoidance on SSTC oceanside 

beaches; and (3) training involving foot 

traffic, but not vehicle traffic, would be 

allowed in the vernal pools when vernal 

pool conditions are determined to be 

dry. 

Alternative 2 consists of all elements 

of Alternative 1. Alternative 2 includes 

the same increase in the number and 

types of training activities over No 

Action Alternative levels, training in 

additional locations within established 

SSTC training areas, and introduction of 

new platforms and equipment into 

training. In addition, under Alternative 

2, the Navy would fully utilize all 

oceanside beach lanes along SSTC–N 

and SSTC–S for continuous, year-round 

training. The Navy would continue to 

conduct existing management practice 

on the SSTC training beaches including 

nest relocation, predator management 

and control, habitat modification, site 

preparation for maintenance, nest 

substrate enhancement, signage and 

education, recreational use restrictions, 

and rearing of collected eggs, injured 

and sick individuals.

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

[Case No. RF–012] 

Energy Conservation Program for 

Consumer Products: Publication of the 

Petition for Waiver and Notice of 

Granting the Application for Interim 

Waiver of Electrolux From the 

Department of Energy Residential 

Refrigerator and Refrigerator-Freezer 

Test Procedures 

AGENCY: Office of Energy Efficiency and 

Renewable Energy, Department of 

Energy. 

ACTION: Notice of Petition for Waiver, 

Notice of Granting Application for 

Interim Waiver, and request for public 

comments. 

SUMMARY: This notice announces receipt 

of and publishes the Electrolux Home 

Products, Inc. (Electrolux) petition for 

waiver (hereafter, ‘‘Petition’’) from 

specified portions of the U.S. 

Department of Energy (DOE) test 

procedure for determining the energy 

consumption of electric refrigerators 

and refrigerator-freezers. The waiver 

request pertains to Electrolux’s product 

lines that utilize a control logic that 

changes the wattage of the anti-sweat 

heaters based upon the ambient relative 

humidity conditions to prevent 

condensation. The existing test 

procedure does not take humidity or 

adaptive control technology into 

account. Therefore, Electrolux has 

suggested an alternate test procedure 

that takes adaptive control technology 

into account when measuring energy 

consumption. DOE solicits comments, 

data, and information concerning 

Electrolux’s Petition and the suggested 

alternate test procedure. DOE also 

publishes notice of the grant of an 

interim waiver to Electrolux. 

DATES: DOE will accept comments, data, 

and information with respect to the 

Electrolux Petition until, but no later 

than March 1, 2010.
