Re: Petition for Waiver and A pplication for Interim Waiver of 10 CFR 430.27 concerning the measurement of water and energy used in the water softening regeneration process of Dishwasher having an Integrated
Water Softener.

To all concerned

BSH Home Appliance Corpor ation is submitting both a Petition for Waiver and Application for Interim Waiver, pursuant to 10 CFR 430.27, to the US Department of Energy concerning the test procedure 10 CFR Part 430, Subpart B, App C for measuring energy consumption of Dishwashers.

The request for Waiver is directed to Dishwashers containing a built-in or integrated water softener. This request for Waiver’s is a follow-up to a basically identical waiver previously granted to BSH (Waiver Case No. DW-005 and a pending waiver). This new waiver application is only to add additional models with the same Water Softening technology.

It is a requirement of 10 CFR 430.27 that when applying for Interim Waiver or
Petition for Waiver that all know manufac turers of domestically marketed units ofthe same product type to be notified and provided a copy of the Petition for Waiver and Application for Interim Waiver.

The Assistant Secretary, Energy Effici ency and Renewable E nergy will receive and consider timely written comments from stakeholders on the application for
Interim Waiver and the Petition for Waiver.

In this case, the Petition for Waiver and application for Interim Waiver are being filed jointly and are attached. Comment s should be directed to The Assistant Secretary, Energy Effici ency and Renewable Energy ( henry.kelly@ee.doe.gov ). According to the regulations, BSH Home Appliances should also receive copies of any comments submitted to The Assist ant Secretary, Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy. Comments sent to BSH Home Appliances should be

addressed as shown in the contac t information directly below.
