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.

The SSTC DEIS is posted online at http://www.silverstrandtraining complexeis.com and available to Federal, State, and local agencies, elected officials, and other interested individuals and organizations. The public comment period will end on March 9, 2010. Copies of the DEIS are available for public review at the following libraries:

1. Coronado Public Library, 640 Orange Avenue, Coronado, CA; and

2. Imperial Beach Branch Library, 810 Imperial Beach Boulevard, Imperial Beach, CA. Federal, State, and local agencies, elected officials, and interested individuals and organizations are invited to be present or represented at the public hearing. Written comments can also be submitted during the open house sessions preceding the public hearings.

Oral statements will be heard and transcribed by a court reporter. All statements, both oral and written, will become part of the public record on the DEIS and will be responded to in the Final EIS (FEIS). Equal weight will be given to both oral and written statements; however, to ensure the accuracy of the record, it is
recommended that statements be submitted in writing. In the interest of available time, and to ensure all who wish to give an oral statement have the opportunity to do so, each speaker’s comments will be limited to three (3) minutes. If you have prepared a written statement, you may read it out loud if you can do so within the three minute time limit, or you may turn it in at the public hearing or mail the statement to Naval Facilities Engineering Command Southwest, Attention: Mr. Kent Randall, Silver Strand Training Complex EIS Project Manager, 1220 Pacific Highway, Building 1, 5th Floor, San Diego, CA 92132. In addition, comments may be
submitted online at http://www.silver strandtrainingcomplexeis.com during the comment period. All written comments must be postmarked by March 9, 2010, to ensure they become part of the official record. All comments
will be addressed in the FEIS.

**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.

**ADDRESSES :**  You may submit comments, identified by case number ‘‘RF–012, ’’ by any of the following methods:

• Federal eRulemaking Portal: http:// www.regulations.gov. Follow the instructions for submitting comments.
