DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

[Case Number 2018–003; EERE–2018–BT– 

WAV–0006] 

Notice of Petition for Waiver of LG 

Electronics USA, Inc. From the 

Department of Energy Room Air 

Conditioner 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 LG Electronics USA, Inc. 

(‘‘LG’’), which seeks an exemption from 

the U.S. Department of Energy (‘‘DOE’’) 

test procedure used for determining the 

efficiency of specified room air 

conditioner basic models. LG seeks to 

use an alternate test procedure to 

address issues involved in testing the 

basic models identified in its petition. 

According to LG, the current DOE test 

procedure for room air conditioners, 

which provides for testing at full-load 

performance only, does not take into 

account the benefits of room air 

conditioners that use variable-speed 

compressors (‘‘variable speed air 

conditioners’’), with their part-load 

performance characteristics, and 

misrepresents their actual energy 

consumption. LG requests that it be 

permitted to test the specified basic 

models at four rating conditions instead 

of a single rating condition and to 

calculate the test unit’s weightedaverage combined energy efficiency 

ratio (CEER), which can then be 

compared to the expected performance 

of a comparable single-speed room air 

conditioner across the same four rating 

conditions. The performance 

improvement would be applied to the 

measured performance of the variablespeed room air conditioner when tested 

under the high-temperature rating 

condition of the DOE test procedure for 

room air conditioners to determine the 

test unit’s final rated CEER value. DOE 

grants LG an interim waiver from the 

DOE’s room air conditioner test 

procedure for the specified basic 

models, subject to use of the alternate 

test procedure as set forth in the Interim 

Waiver Order. DOE solicits comments, 

data, and information concerning LG’s 

petition and its suggested alternate test 

procedure to inform its final decision on 

LG’s waiver request. 

DATES: Written comments and 

information are requested and will be 

accepted on or before July 30, 2018. 

ADDRESSES: Interested persons are 

encouraged to submit comments using

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background and Authority 

The Energy Policy and Conservation 

Act of 1975 (‘‘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 B2 of EPCA established the 

Energy Conservation Program for 

Consumer Products Other Than 

Automobiles, a program that includes 

room air conditioners, which are the 

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

6292(a)(2)). 

DOE regulations set forth at 10 CFR 

430.27 contain provisions that allow 

any interested person to seek a waiver 

from test procedure requirements for a 

particular basic model when the 

petitioner’s basic model for which the 

petition for waiver was submitted 

contains one or more design 

characteristics that either (1) prevent 

testing according to the prescribed test 

procedure, or (2) cause the prescribed 

test procedures to evaluate the basic 

model in a manner so unrepresentative 

of its true energy consumption 

characteristics as to provide materially 

inaccurate comparative data. 10 CFR
