SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

subject modification to Permit No. 

13330–01, is requested under the 

authority of the Endangered Species Act 

of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 et 

seq.) and the regulations governing the 

taking, importing, and exporting of 

endangered and threatened species 

(50 CFR 222–226). 

Permit No. 13330–01, issued on 

March 17, 2011 (76 FR 14650), 

authorizes the permit holder to: Capture 

45 smalltooth sawfish (15 from each of 

three life stages) annually by longline, 

gillnet, seine net, drum (set) lines, or 

rod and reel throughout Florida’s 

coastal waters, but primarily in the 

region of the Florida coast from Naples 

to Key West, encompassing the Ten 

Thousand Islands. All captured sawfish 

are measured, tagged, sampled, and 

released. Current tagging methods 

include rototags (fin tags), dart tags, 

umbrella dart tags, Passive Integrated 

Transponder (PIT) tags, acoustic 

transmitters, and Pop-Up Archival 

Transmitting (PAT) tags. Tissue and 

blood samples are also taken. The 

permit holder now requests 

authorization for an increase in take 

numbers to 50 individuals from each of 

the three life stages (neonates, juveniles, 

and adults) for a total of 150 smalltooth 

sawfish annually. All research 

objectives, capture methods, action 

areas, and activities would remain 

unchanged. The modification would be 

valid until the permit expires on 

October 31, 2013.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

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 dishwashers.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 

which 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 dishwashers is contained 

in 10 CFR part 430, subpart B, appendix 

C. 

The regulations set forth in 10 CFR 

430.27 contain provisions that enable a 

person to seek a waiver from the test 

procedure requirements for covered 

consumer products. A waiver will be 

granted by the Assistant Secretary for 

Energy Efficiency and Renewable 

Energy (the Assistant Secretary) if it is 

determined that the basic model for 

which the petition for waiver was 

submitted contains one or more design 

characteristics that prevents testing of 

the basic model according to the 

prescribed test procedures, or if the 

prescribed test procedures may evaluate 

the basic model in a manner so 

unrepresentative of its true energy 

consumption characteristics as to 

provide materially inaccurate
