[Case No. RF–041] 

Extension of Waiver to Panasonic 

Appliances Refrigeration Systems 

Corporation of America Corporation 

From the Department of Energy 

Residential Refrigerator and 

Refrigerator-Freezer Test Procedures 

AGENCY: Office of Energy Efficiency and 

Renewable Energy, Department of 

Energy. 

ACTION: Extension of Waiver. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of 

Energy (DOE) is granting a waiver 

extension (Case No. RF–041) to 

Panasonic Appliances Refrigeration 

Systems Corporation of America 

(PAPRSA) to waive the requirements of 

the DOE electric refrigerator and 

refrigerator-freezer test procedures for 

determining the energy consumption of 

a specific hybrid basic model, 

PR5180JKBC. Under today’s extension, 

PAPRSA shall be required to test and 

rate this hybrid wine chiller/beverage 

center basic model using an alternate 

test procedure that requires PAPRSA to 

test the wine chiller compartment at 

55 °F instead of the prescribed 

temperature of 39 °F per title 10 of the 

Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) 

part 430, subpart B, appendix A. 

PAPRSA shall also use the K factor 

(correction factor) value of 0.85 when 

calculating the energy consumption. 

DATES: This extension of waiver is 

effective September 17, 2014.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In 

accordance with 10 CFR 430.27(g), DOE 

gives notice of the issuance of its 

extension of waiver as set forth below. 

The extension of waiver grants PAPRSA 

a waiver from the applicable residential 

refrigerator and refrigerator-freezer test 

procedures found in 10 CFR part 430, 

subpart B, appendix A for certain basic 

models of hybrid wine chiller/beverage 

center products, provided that PAPRSA 

tests and rates such products using the 

alternate test procedure described in 

this notice. Today’s extension prohibits 

PAPRSA from making representations 

concerning the energy efficiency of 

these products unless the product has 

been tested in a manner consistent with 

the provisions and restrictions in the 

alternate test procedure set forth in the 

extension below, and the 

representations fairly disclose the test 

results. Distributors, retailers, and 

private labelers are held to the same 

standard when making representations 

regarding the energy efficiency of these 

products. 42 U.S.C. 6293(c). 

I. Background and Authority 

Title III, Part B of the Energy Policy 

and Conservation Act of 1975 (EPCA), 

Public Law 94–163 (42 U.S.C. 6291– 

6309, as codified) established the 

Energy Conservation Program for 

Consumer Products Other Than 

Automobiles, a program covering most 

major household appliances, which 

includes the residential electric 

refrigerators and refrigerator-freezers 

that are the focus of this notice.1 Part B 

includes definitions, test procedures, 

labeling provisions, energy conservation 

standards, and the authority to require 

information and reports from 

manufacturers. Further, Part B 

authorizes the Secretary of Energy to 

prescribe test procedures that are 

reasonably designed to produce results 

that measure energy efficiency, energy 

use, or estimated operating costs, and 

that are not unduly burdensome to 

conduct. (42 U.S.C. 6293(b)(3)) The test 

procedure for residential electric 

refrigerators and refrigerator-freezers is 

set forth in 10 CFR part 430, subpart B, 

appendix A. 

DOE’s regulations allow a person to 

seek a waiver from the test procedure 

requirements for a particular basic 

model of a type of covered consumer 

product when (1) the petitioner’s basic 

model for which the petition for waiver 

was submitted contains one or more 

design characteristics that prevent 

testing according to the prescribed test 

procedure, or (2) when prescribed test 

procedures may evaluate the basic 

model in a manner so unrepresentative 

of its true energy consumption 

characteristics as to provide materially 

inaccurate comparative data. 10 CFR 

430.27(a)(1). Petitioners must include in 

their petition any alternate test 

procedures known to the petitioner to 

evaluate the basic model in a manner
