and practitioners to review information 

from a sample of annual performance 

reports and self-evaluations prepared by 

grantees. 

5. Continuation Awards: In making a 

continuation award, the Secretary may 

consider, under 34 CFR 75.253, the 

extent to which a grantee has made 

‘‘substantial progress toward meeting 

the objectives in its approved 

application.’’ This consideration 

includes the review of a grantee’s 

progress in meeting the targets and 

projected outcomes in its approved 

application and whether the grantee has 

expended funds in a manner that is 

consistent with its approved application 

and budget. 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).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background and Authority 

Part C of Title III of the Energy Policy 

and Conservation Act contains energy 

conservation requirements for, among 

other things, electric motors and small 

electric motors, including test 

procedures, energy efficiency standards, 

and compliance certification 

requirements. 42 U.S.C. 6311–6316.1

Section 345(c) of EPCA directs the 

Secretary of Energy to require 

manufacturers of electric motors ‘‘to 

certify through an independent testing 

or certification program nationally 

recognized in the United States, that 

[each electric motor subject to EPCA 

efficiency standards] meets the 

applicable standard.’’ 42 U.S.C. 6316(c). 

Regulations to implement this 

statutory directive are codified in Title 

10 of the Code of Federal Regulations 

Part 431 (10 CFR Part 431) at sections 

431.36 (Compliance Certification), 

431.20 (Department of Energy 

recognition of nationally recognized 

certification programs), and 431.21 

(Procedures for recognition and 

withdrawal of recognition of 

accreditation bodies and certification 

programs). Sections 431.20 and 431.21 

set forth the criteria and procedures for 

national recognition of an energy 

efficiency certification program for 

electric motors by DOE. With the 

support of a variety of interests, 

including industry and energy 

efficiency advocacy groups, DOE 

published a final rule on May 4, 2012, 

that established requirements for small 

electric motors that are essentially 

identical to the criteria and procedures 

for national recognition of an energy 

efficiency certification program for 

electric motors. See 77 FR 26608, 26629 

(codifying parallel provisions for small 

electric motors at 10 CFR 431.447 and 

431.448). 

For a certification program to be 

classified by the DOE as being 

nationally recognized in the United 


tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 84 / Thursday, May 1, 2014 / Notices 24701 

States for the testing and certification of 

small electric motors, the organization 

operating the program must submit a 

petition to the Department requesting 

such classification, in accordance with 

sections 431.447 and 431.448. In sum, 

for the Department to grant such a 

petition, the certification program must: 

(1) Have satisfactory standards and 

procedures for conducting and 

administering a certification system, 

and for granting a certificate of 

conformity; (2) be independent of small 

electric motor manufacturers, importers, 

distributors, private labelers or vendors; 

(3) be qualified to operate a certification 

system in a highly competent manner; 

and (4) be expert in the test procedures 

and methodologies in IEEE Standard 

112–2004 Test Methods A and B, IEEE 

Standard 114–2010, CSA Standard 

C390–10, and CSA C747 or similar 

procedures and methodologies for 

determining the energy efficiency of 

small electric motors, and have 

satisfactory criteria and procedures for 

selecting and sampling small electric 

motors for energy efficiency testing. 

10 CFR 431.447(b). 

Each petition requesting classification 

as a nationally recognized certification 

program must contain a narrative 

statement as to why the organization 

meets the above criteria, be 

accompanied by documentation that 

supports the narrative statement, and be 

signed by an authorized representative. 

10 CFR 431.447(c). 

II. Discussion 

Pursuant to sections 431.447 and 

431.448, on November 1, 2013, CSA 

submitted a ‘‘Petition for Recognition as 

a Nationally Recognized Certification 

Program for small electric motors’’ 

(‘‘Petition’’ or ‘‘CSA Petition’’). The 

Petition was accompanied by a cover 

letter from CSA to the Department, and 

the petition itself contained five 

separate sections—(1) Scope and 

Application, (2) Overview of CSA 

Group, (3) Certification and Testing— 

Quality Management System, (4) CSA 

Group’s Motor Efficiency Verification 

Program—Product Directory, and (5) 

Examples of Other CSA Group 

Accreditations. In accordance with the 

requirements of section 431.448(b), DOE 

published CSA’s petition in the Federal 

Register on December 30, 2013 and 

requested public comments. 78 FR 

79423. 

In response to the notice of petition, 

the National Electrical Manufacturers 

Association (NEMA), a trade association 

representing manufacturers of electrical 

products and equipment, including 

small electric motors, submitted 

comments to DOE in a letter dated 

January 24, 2013 (Comment response to 

the published Notice of Petition, No. 3). 

In these comments, NEMA generally 

stated its support for CSA’s petition and 

recommended that DOE grant 

recognition to CSA. The comments also 

specifically explained that, in NEMA’s 

view, (1) CSA has satisfactory standards 

and procedures for conducting and 

administering a certification system, 

including periodic follow-up to ensure 

basic model compliance; (2) CSA is 

independent of small motor 

manufacturers, importers, distributors, 

private labelers, or vendors; and (3) CSA 

is expert in the content and application 

of the test procedures and 

methodologies in IEEE Std 112–2004 

Test Methods A and B, IEEE Std 114– 

2010, CSA 390–10, and CSA C747 or 

similar procedures and methodologies 

for determining the energy efficiency of 

small electric motors. NEMA added that 

CSA uses technically appropriate and 

statistically rigorous criteria and 

procedures for selecting and sampling 

small electric motors for energy 

efficiency testing. 

As required by 10 CFR 431.448(d), 

DOE published on March 4, 2014 an 

interim notice of determination 

regarding CSA’s petition. 79 FR 12189. 

Having received no comments on the 

interim determination, the Department 

hereby announces its final 

determination pursuant to 10 CFR 

431.448(e) that CSA is classified as a 

nationally recognized certification 

program for small electric motors. 

Issued in Washington, DC, on April 25, 

2014.
