measured by the postsecondary 

persistence and degree of completion 

rates of the CCAMPIS Program 

participants that remain at the grantee 

institution. All CCAMPIS Program 

grantees will be required to submit an 

annual performance report documenting 

the persistence and degree attainment of 

their participants. Since students may 

take different lengths of time to 

complete their degrees, multiple years 

of performance report data are needed to 

determine the degree completion rates 

of CCAMPIS Program participants. The 

Department will aggregate the data 

provided in the annual performance 

reports from all grantees to determine 

the accomplishment level. 

6. Continuation Awards: In making a 

continuation award under 34 CFR 

75.253, the Secretary considers, among 

other things: Whether a grantee has 

made substantial progress in achieving 

the goals and objectives of the project; 

whether the grantee has expended funds 

in a manner that is consistent with its 

approved application and budget; and, 

if the Secretary has established 

performance measurement 

requirements, the performance targets in 

the grantee’s approved application. 

In making a continuation grant, the 

Secretary also considers whether the 

grantee is operating in compliance with 

the assurances in its approved 

application, including those applicable 

to Federal civil rights laws that prohibit 

discrimination in programs or activities 

receiving Federal financial assistance 

from the Department (34 CFR 100.4, 

104.5, 106.4, 108.8, and 110.23).

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

[Case No. 2017–009] 

Notice of Petition for Waiver of 

Jamison Door Company From the 

Department of Energy Walk-in Cooler 

and Walk-in Freezer Test Procedure, 

and Notice of Grant of Interim Waiver 

AGENCY: Office of Energy Efficiency and 

Renewable Energy, Department of 

Energy. 

ACTION: Notice of petition for waiver and 

grant of an interim waiver and request 

for comments. 

SUMMARY: This document announces 

receipt of, and publishes a petition for 

waiver from, Jamison Door Company 

(‘‘Jamison’’), which seeks an exemption 

from specified portions of the U.S. 

Department of Energy (‘‘DOE’’) test 

procedure used for determining the 

energy consumption of walk-in cooler 

and walk-in freezer doors (collectively, 

‘‘walk-in doors’’). Jamison seeks to use 

an alternate test procedure to address 

issues involved in testing the basic 

models identified in its petition. 

Jamison asserts in its petition that the 

percent time off (‘‘PTO’’) value specified 

in the test procedure for walk-in door 

motors is unrepresentative of actual 

performance and causes the test 

procedure to over-estimate the energy 

use of the motors used in a number of 

its walk-in door basic models. 

Accordingly, Jamison seeks to test and 

rate the basic models identified in its 

petition using an alternative PTO value 

for walk-in door motors. DOE is granting 

Jamison an interim waiver from the 

DOE’s walk-in door test procedure for 

its specified basic models, subject to use 

of the alternative test procedure as set 

forth in this document. DOE solicits 

comments, data, and information 

concerning Jamison’s petition and its 

suggested alternate test procedure to 

inform its final decision on Jamison’s 

waiver request. 

DATES: DOE will accept comments, data, 

and information with respect to the 

Jamison petition until July 19, 2018. 

ADDRESSES: Interested persons are 

encouraged to submit comments using

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background and Authority 

The Energy Policy and Conservation 

Act of 1975, as amended (‘‘EPCA’’ or 

‘‘the Act’’),1 Public Law 94–163 (42 

U.S.C. 6291–6317, as codified), among 

other things, authorizes DOE to regulate 

the energy efficiency of a number of 

consumer products and industrial 

equipment. Title III, Part C 2 of EPCA, 

added by the National Energy 

Conservation Act, Public Law 95–619, 

sec. 441 (Nov. 9, 1978), established the 

Energy Conservation Program for 

Certain Industrial Equipment, which 

sets forth a variety of provisions 

designed to improve energy efficiency 

for certain types of industrial 

equipment. This equipment includes 

walk-in coolers and walk-in freezers, the 

focus of this document. (42 U.S.C. 

6311(1)(G)) 

Under EPCA, DOE’s energy 

conservation program consists 

essentially of four parts: (1) Testing, (2) 

labeling, (3) Federal energy conservation 

standards, and (4) certification and 

enforcement procedures. Relevant 

provisions of the Act include definitions 

(42 U.S.C. 6311), energy conservation 

standards (42 U.S.C. 6313), test 

procedures (42 U.S.C. 6314), labeling 

provisions (42 U.S.C. 6315), and the 

authority to require information and 

reports from manufacturers (42 U.S.C. 

6316). 

The Federal testing requirements 

consist of test procedures that 

manufacturers of covered equipment 

must use as the basis for: (1) Certifying 

to DOE that their equipment complies 

with the applicable energy conservation 

standards adopted pursuant to EPCA (42 

U.S.C. 6316(a); 42 U.S.C. 6295(s)), and 

(2) making representations about the 

efficiency of that equipment (42 U.S.C. 

6314(d)). Similarly, DOE must use these 

test procedures to determine whether 

the equipment complies with relevant 

standards promulgated under EPCA. (42 

U.S.C. 6316(a); 42 U.S.C. 6295(s)) 

Under 42 U.S.C. 6314, EPCA sets forth 

the criteria and procedures DOE must 

follow when prescribing or amending 

test procedures for covered equipment. 

EPCA requires that any test procedures 

prescribed or amended under this 

section must be reasonably designed to 

produce test results reflecting the energy 

efficiency, energy use, or estimated 

annual operating costs during a 

representative average use cycle or 

period of use, and requires that test 

procedures not be unduly burdensome 

to conduct. (42 U.S.C. 6314(a)(2)) The 

test procedure for walk-in doors is 

contained in 10 CFR part 431, subpart 

R, appendix A. 

The regulations set forth in 10 CFR 

431.401 provide that upon receipt of a 

petition, DOE will grant a waiver from 

the test procedure requirements if DOE 

determines either that the basic model 

for which the waiver was requested 

contains a design characteristic that 

prevents testing of the basic model 

according to the prescribed test 

procedure, or that the prescribed test 

procedure evaluates the basic model in 

a manner so unrepresentative of its true 

energy consumption characteristics as to 

provide materially inaccurate 

comparative data. 10 CFR 431.401(f)(2). 

DOE may grant a waiver subject to 

conditions, including adherence to 

alternate test procedures. Id. As soon as 

practicable after the granting of any 

waiver, DOE will publish in the Federal 

Register a notice of proposed 

rulemaking to amend its regulations so 

as to eliminate any need for the 

continuation of such waiver. 10 CFR 

431.401(l) As soon thereafter as 

practicable, DOE will publish in the 

Federal Register a final rule. Id. 

The waiver process also provides that 

DOE may grant an interim waiver if it 

appears likely that the underlying 

petition for waiver will be granted and/ 

or if DOE determines that it would be 

desirable for public policy reasons to 

grant immediate relief pending a 

determination on the underlying 

petition for waiver. 10 CFR 

431.401(e)(2). Within one year of 

issuance of an interim waiver, DOE will 

either: (i) Publish in the Federal 

Register a determination on the petition 

for waiver; or (ii) publish in the Federal 

Register a new or amended test 

procedure that addresses the issues 

presented in the waiver. 10 CFR 

431.401(h)(1). 

When DOE amends the test procedure 

to address the issues presented in a 

waiver, the waiver will automatically 

terminate on the date on which use of 

that test procedure is required to 

demonstrate compliance. 10 CFR 

431.401(h)(2). 

II. Jamison’s Petition for Waiver and 

Application for Interim Waiver 

On July 26, 2017, Jamison filed a 

petition for waiver and a petition for 

interim waiver from the test procedure 

applicable to walk-in doors set forth in 

10 CFR part 431, subpart R, appendix 

A 3 Appendix A accounts for the power 

consumption of all electrical 

components associated with each door 

and discounts the power consumption 

of electrical components based on their 

operating time by an assigned PTO 

value. 10 CFR part 431, subpart R, 

appendix A, section 4.5.2 Section 4.5.2 

specifies a PTO of 25% for ‘‘other 

electricity-consuming devices’’ (i.e., 

electrical devices other than lighting or 

anti-sweat heaters) that have demandbased controls, and a PTO of 0% for 

other electricity-consuming devices 

without a demand-based control. (Id.) 

As described in its petition, the walk-in 

door basic models specified by Jamison 

are designed with door motors, which 

are considered ‘‘other electricityconsuming devices’’ with demand-based 

control. 

In its petition, Jamison states that the 

DOE test procedure would grossly 

overstate the energy used by the 

motorized door models identified in its 

waiver request.4 Jamison explains that 

assuming a more favorable application 

of a 25% PTO (as opposed to a 0% PTO) 

would imply that the door motor is 

running 18 hours per day, which is 

unrealistic for the walk-in doors 

specified in its petition given typical 

door motor use patterns of such doors. 

Thus, in light of the implications 

stemming from the assumptions built 

into the test procedure’s prescribed PTO 

value, Jamison petitioned DOE for 

permission to apply a PTO value of 

93.5% for walk-in door motors that 

move doors at a speed of at least 12 

inches per second (‘‘in/s’’) or faster. 

Jamison’s suggested PTO value is 

dependent on its assumptions regarding 

the doors’ size, motor speed and use 

frequency—that is, how many times per 

day the doors are opened. As an 

example, Jamison offered that its 96- 

inch doors have an average drive cycle 

time of 6 seconds and may undergo 40 

door opening events per hour. Applying 


daltland on DSKBBV9HB2PROD with NOTICES
28424 Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 118 / Tuesday, June 19, 2018 / Notices 

5 DOE defines a freight door as a door that is not 

a display door and is equal to or larger than 4 feet 

wide and 8 feet tall and a passage door as a door 

that is not a freight door or display door. Jamison’s 

petition for waiver does not offer specific door 

dimensions of each basic model; instead Jamison 

gives the door face area for each basic model and 

minimum and maximum lengths and widths of 

Jamison doors. However, the range of dimensions 

in the petition indicate that the listed basic models 

include both freight and passage doors. 

6 DOE’s prior consideration did not distinguish 

between motorized and non-motorized doors and 

DOE ultimately determined not to include door 

opening infiltration measurements of the test 

procedure for walk-ins. See 76 FR 21580, 21595 

(April 15, 2011). 

these assumptions, Jamison stated that 

the door motor would be in operation 

for 240 seconds per hour, equivalent to 

a 93.3% PTO value. 

Although not in the context of 

electricity-consuming devices, DOE 

previously considered the operational 

characteristics of passage and freight 

doors 5 in proposing a procedure to 

determine the energy use associated 

with infiltration resulting from the 

opening of the walk-in doors. 75 FR 

55068, 55085 (September 9, 2010) 

(supplemental proposal discussing 

potential assumptions to apply to 

address air infiltration across door 

types). In that context, DOE proposed, 

based on market research and 

stakeholder feedback, that passage and 

freight doors have 60 and 120 door 

openings per day, respectively. Id.6

Those values correlate to fewer cycles 

than assumed in the Jamison analysis 

and are consistent with higher PTO 

values. Jamison notes that with a 6- 

second motor cycle time, freight doors 

operating with the DOE assumed 

frequency would run 30 seconds per 

hour, equivalent to a PTO of 99.2%. 

However, Jamison’s petition seeks to 

apply the same PTO value to its listed 

basic models that are 24 to 288 inches 

(i.e. 2 to 24 feet) wide and have motors 

driven at a minimum speed of 12 inches 

per second (‘‘in/s’’). Assuming the 

largest door covered by the waiver (24 

feet) is paired with the slowest covered 

motor (12 in/s), the most consumptive 

scenario, the proposed 93.5% PTO 

would correspond to 117 door openings 

per day, approximately equal to the 120 

cycles per day previously assumed for 

freight doors by DOE. Accordingly, DOE 

believes that the PTO value that Jamison 

seeks to use for the specified basic 

models is appropriate. 

DOE will grant an interim waiver if it 

appears likely that the petition for 

waiver will be granted, and/or if DOE 

determines that it would be desirable for 

public policy reasons to grant 

immediate relief pending a 

determination of the petition for waiver. 

See 10 CFR 431.401(e)(2). DOE 

understands that absent an interim 

waiver, Jamison’s specified basic 

models cannot be tested and rated for 

energy consumption on a basis 

representative of their true energy 

consumption characteristics. DOE has 

reviewed the alternate procedure 

suggested by Jamison and concludes 

that the PTO value suggested by Jamison 

would allow for an accurate estimation 

of its walk-in door motor’s energy use, 

and alleviate the problems with walk-in 

door testing identified by Jamison for 

the basic models specified in its 

petition. Thus, it appears likely that 

Jamison’s petition for waiver will be 

granted. Furthermore, DOE has 

determined that it is desirable for public 

policy reasons to grant Jamison 

immediate relief pending a 

determination of the petition for waiver. 

III. Alternate Test Procedure 

EPCA requires that manufacturers use 

DOE test procedures when making 

representations about the energy 

consumption and energy consumption 

costs of products covered by the statute. 

(42 U.S.C. 6314(d)) Consistent 

representations are important for 

manufacturers to use in making 

representations about the energy 

efficiency of their products and to 

demonstrate compliance with 

applicable DOE energy conservation 

standards. Pursuant to the regulations 

applicable to waivers and interim 

waivers from applicable test procedures 

at 10 CFR 431.401 and after considering 

public comments on the petition, DOE 

will announce its decision as to an 

alternate test procedure for the 

equipment identified by Jamison in a 

subsequent Decision and Order. 

In its petition, Jamison suggests that 

the basic models listed in the petition 

must be tested according to the test 

procedure for walk-in doors prescribed 

by DOE at 10 CFR part 431, subpart R, 

appendix A, except that the PTO value 

for door motors is modified from 25% 

to 93.5% for freight and passage doors. 

During the period of the interim 

waiver in this document, the petitioner 

must test the specified basic models 

according to the test procedure as 

discussed in this section, i.e., using a 

PTO value of 93.5%. 

IV. Summary of Grant of an Interim 

Waiver 

DOE has analyzed the technical 

performance data provided by Jamison 

and agrees that for the basic models 

specified in the waiver, the suggested 

93.5% PTO for the door motors used in 

the specified models is more 

representative of actual energy use than 

the existing value of 25%. Based on 

Jamison’s information, DOE concludes 

that a 93.5% PTO adequately accounts 

for the specified basic model’s wide 

range in door sizes and door motor 

speeds. 

For the reasons above, DOE is 

granting Jamison’s petition for interim 

waiver from testing for its specified 

walk-in door basic models. The 

substance of DOE’s Interim Waiver 

Order is summarized below. 

Jamison is required to use the 

alternate test procedures set forth in this 

document to test and rate the walk-in 

door basic models listed in Appendix I 

of its July 26, 2017 petition. See https:// 

www.regulations.gov/docketBrowser?

rpp=25&so=DESC&sb=commentDue

Date&po=0&D=EERE-2017-BT-WAV0040. Jamison is permitted to make 

representations of the energy use of 

these basic models for compliance, 

marketing, or other purposes only to the 

extent that such products have been 

tested in accordance with the provisions 

set forth in the alternate test procedure 

and such representations fairly disclose 

the results of such testing in accordance 

with 10 CFR 429.53. 

DOE makes decisions on waivers and 

interim waivers for only those basic 

models specifically set out in the 

petition, not future models that may be 

manufactured by the petitioner. Jamison 

may request that DOE extend the scope 

of a waiver or an interim waiver to 

include additional basic models 

employing the same technology as the 

basic model(s) set forth in the original 

petition consistent with 10 CFR 

431.401(g). In addition, DOE notes that 

granting of an interim waiver or waiver 

does not release a petitioner from the 

certification requirements set forth at 10 

CFR part 429. See also 10 CFR 

431.401(a) and (i). 

Unless otherwise rescinded or 

modified, the interim waiver shall 

remain in effect consistent with 10 CFR 

431.401(h). DOE may rescind or modify 

a waiver or interim waiver at any time 

upon a determination that the factual 

basis underlying the petition for waiver 

or interim waiver is incorrect, or upon 

a determination that the results from the 

alternate test procedure are 

unrepresentative of the basic model’s 

true energy consumption characteristics. 

See 10 CFR 431.401(k). Furthermore, the 

interim waiver is conditioned upon the 

validity of the door motor performance 

characteristics, statements, 

representations, and documentary 

materials provided by Jamison. 

V. Summary and Request for Comments

PETITION OF JAMISON DOOR COMPANY FOR WAIVER OF TEST PROCUDURE FOR WALK IN 

COOLERS AND FREEZER DOORS 

Jamison Door Company is submitting this petition for Waiver and Application for Interim Waiver, 

in the law from the current DOE energy code for walk in freezer doors per Title 10 Chapter II 

Subpart V- General Provisions, Section 431.401. 

Jamison Door Company is the United States leader in production of cold storage and freezer 

doors. Jamison's products are distributed to major supermarket, retail chains, distribution 

warehouses, wholesalers, and consumer packaged goods companies thought the United States, 

and Canada. Jamison's pursuit of innovation has led to a focus on sustainability and energy 

efficiency to add value to the customer, reducing power consumption by cold storage and 

freezer spaces though fast acting reliable doors. 

I. Basic Models For Which A Waiver Is Requested 

The basic model's for which a waiver and interim waiver is being requested is set forth in 

Appendix I. 

II. Need For The Requested Waiver 

Per the current standard, Title 10 Chapter II Subpart R- Walk-in Coolers and Walk-in Freezers, 

Section 431.306 Section 4.5.2 Direct Energy Consumption of Electrical Components of NonDisplay Doors, rating the doors accounts for the insulation value of the door and then requires 

you to use the motor power as though the motor is running 75 percent of the time or has a PTO 

(percent time off) of 25. This means that the door is in motion 18 hours every day. Jamison finds 

this to be unrealistic, and will grossly overstate the energy used by these models. 

Examining the PTO of 25 on a standard bi-part eight foot wide door, then the average drive 

speed is 16.9 in/son each leaf so that would be 33.8 in/s. At a 96 inch requirement for door 

travel open/close then you would have 2.8 seconds to drive open and drive close. To include the 

motor going up to speed and ramping down then a safe estimate is 6 seconds of drive time in a 

full cycle. If the door motor is driving 75% of the time then that means the door is active 2, 700 

seconds per hour. If the drive cycle is 6 seconds then the door is activated 450 times per hour. 

Normally the door is kept open for an additional 5- 10 seconds. If we assume that the door is 

open and/or traveling for 16 seconds per pass at

450 passes/hr., this is 7200 seconds/hr. This is unrealistic due to the fact that there isn't enough 

time in an hour with the door cycle time, so in 1 hour there is 3600 seconds in essence the door 

cannot be open I traveling for 7200 seconds, as this would be two hours of actual time. In 

normal practice a door would be open less than 40 times per hour. If we use 40 opens per hour 

for the same door moving at the same rate then we would see 240 seconds of motor operation 

meaning the PTO (percent time off) of the motor would be 93.3. 

In the document from Hired Hand Technologies, May 24, 2013 they stated that 50 to 100 cycles 

per day is normal operation of a freezer door. The DOE also developed that 120 passages per 

day were normal. If we use the 120 passes per day as the model then the PTO would be 99.2. 

The requested exemption/waiver is so that motorized doors can continue to be sold which is a 

large part of the cold storage market this is because of the speed, efficiency and convenience of 

motorized doors. If this section of the market is closed then this would have a large negative 

impact on Jamison's business and move the entire industry back years. 

Jamison Door Company is asking for an exemption/waiver to change the PTO to 93.5 for all 

doors driven by a motor that move at a speed of 12 in/s or faster, as the current standards PTO 

of 25 is unrealistic to real world applications of motorized doors. 

Ill. Request for Interim Waiver 

Jamison Door also request an interim waiver for its models listed in Appendix I. Based on its 

merits, the petition for waiver is likely to be granted. It is essential the interim waiver be 

granted, as Jamison Door plans to distribute units of the models that would be affected by the 

DOE rule as otherwise applicable on and after June 26, 2017, compliance date. Without waiver 

relief, Jamison will be at a competitive disadvantage in the market for these important products 

and would suffer economic hardship. Jamison Door would be subject to requirements which 

should not be applied to such products. 

IV. Other Manufacturers 

A list of manufacturers of all other basic models distributed in the United States known to 

Jamison which incorporate overall design characteristics similar to the found in the basic models 

that are subject to this petition is set forth in Appendix II.

Approval Under Delegated Authority 

and Submission to OMB 

AGENCY: Board of Governors of the 

Federal Reserve System. 

SUMMARY: The Board of Governors of the 

Federal Reserve System (Board) is

years, with revision, the Holding 

Company Report of Insured Depository 

Institutions’ Section 23A Transactions 

with Affiliates (FR Y–8; OMB No. 7100– 

0126). The revisions are effective as of 

the June 30, 2018 report date.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On June 

15, 1984, the Office of Management and 

Budget (OMB) delegated to the Board 

authority under the Paperwork 

Reduction Act (PRA) to approve and 

assign OMB control numbers to 

collection of information requests and 

requirements conducted or sponsored 

by the Board. Board-approved 

collections of information are 

incorporated into the official OMB 

inventory of currently approved 

collections of information. Copies of the 

Paperwork Reduction Act Submission, 

supporting statements and approved 

collection of information instrument(s) 

are placed into OMB’s public docket 

files. The Board may not conduct or 

sponsor, and the respondent is not 

required to respond to, an information 

collection that has been extended, 

revised, or implemented on or after 

October 1, 1995, unless it displays a 

currently valid OMB control number. 

Final approval under OMB delegated 

authority of the extension for three 

years, with revision, of the following 

report: 

Report title: Holding Company Report 

of Insured Depository Institutions’ 

Section 23A Transactions with 

Affiliates. 

Agency form number: FR Y–8. 

OMB control number: 7100–0126. 

Frequency: Quarterly. 

Respondents: Certain bank holding 

companies (BHCs) and savings and loan 

holding companies (SLHCs), including 

certain foreign banking organizations 

(FBOs). 

Estimated number of respondents: 

933. 

Estimated average hours per response: 

7.8 hours. 

Estimated annual burden hours: 

29,110. 

General description of report: The FR 

Y–8 collects information on covered 

transactions between an insured 

depository institution and its affiliates 

that are subject to the quantitative limits 

and requirements of section 23A of the 

Federal Reserve Act and the Board’s 

Regulation W (12 CFR Pt. 223). The FR 

Y–8 is filed quarterly by all U.S. top-tier 

BHCs and SLHCs, and by FBOs that 

directly own or control a U.S. subsidiary 

insured depository institution. If an 

FBO indirectly controls a U.S. insured 

depository institution through a U.S. 

holding company, only the U.S. holding 

company must file the FR Y–8. A 

respondent must file a separate report 

for each U.S. insured depository 

institution it controls. The primary 

purpose of the data is to enhance the 

Board’s ability to monitor the credit 

exposure of insured depository 

institutions to their affiliates and to 

ensure that insured depository 

institutions are in compliance with 

section 23A of the Federal Reserve Act 

and Regulation W. Section 23A of the 

Federal Reserve Act limits an insured 

depository institution’s exposure to 

affiliated entities and helps to protect 

against the expansion of the federal 

safety net to uninsured entities. 

Revisions: In order to reduce reporting 

burden, the Board has eliminated the FR 

Y–8 declaration page. Previously, 

respondents that own or control insured 

depository institutions could have, 

instead of completing the entire form, 

submitted a declaration page each 

quarter attesting to the fact that the 

institutions do not have any covered 

transactions with their affiliates. The 

Board also has revised the instructions 

to eliminate references to the 

declaration page and to clarify that 

respondents that own or control insured 

depository institutions that do not have 

any covered transactions with their 

affiliates would not have to file the 

FR Y–8. 

Legal authorization and 

confidentiality: The FR Y–8 is 

mandatory for respondents that control 

an insured depository institution that 

has engaged in covered transactions 

with an affiliate during the reporting 

period, as defined by section 23A of the 

Federal Reserve Act. See 12 U.S.C. 371c. 

Section 5(c) of the Bank Holding 

Company Act authorizes the Board to 

require BHCs to file the FR Y–8
