SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

The Energy Policy and Conservation 

Act (EPCA), as amended by section 

312(c) of the Energy Independence and 

Security Act (EISA 2007), requires the 

Department of Energy (DOE) to 

prescribe a test procedure to measure 

the energy use of walk-in coolers and 

freezers (collectively, walk-ins). See 42 

U.S.C. 6314(a). DOE recently satisfied 

this requirement by issuing a final rule 

establishing a test procedure for 

manufacturers to use when measuring 

the energy use of a walk-in unit. See 76 

FR 21580 (April 15, 2011). 

Since the publication of that 

rulemaking, it was recently discovered 

that an error is present in Appendix A 

of the regulatory text, which governs, 

among other things, the test conditions 

for walk-in coolers and freezers. That 

text, within the context of assessing the 

long-term thermal resistance of the 

insulating foam contained in the panel 

components used to construct a walk-in 

freezer container, uses, incorrectly and 

inconsistent with the statute, a 

prescribed test temperature of 35 °F ± 1 

°F for freezers. The temperature that 

should have been inserted in that 

provision is 20 °F ± 1 °F. Periods should 

also have been included after that 

provision and the one following it that 

sets the temperature test condition for 

panels used in coolers. This document 

corrects these errors. 

II. Need for Correction 

As published, the current provisions 

of 10 CFR part 431, Subpart R, 

Appendix A, include the incorrect 

testing temperature for manufacturers to 


jlentini on DSK4TPTVN1PROD with RULES
31796 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 106 / Thursday, June 2, 2011 / Rules and Regulations 

use when measuring the long-term 

insulation performance of the foam 

insulation used in a walk-in freezer 

unit. The published temperature, 35 °F 

± 1 °F—a temperature that exceeds the 

safe storage of frozen perishable items— 

conflicts with the mandatory 20 °F 

requirement that Congress had 

prescribed as part of the EISA 2007 

amendments governing the testing of 

insulation foam used in walk-in 

freezers. See 42 U.S.C. 6314(a)(9)(A)(iii) 

(indicating that the insulation value of 

the foam used with walk-in freezers 

shall be calculated using a temperature 

of 20 °F). This higher temperature also 

exceeds the temperature at which a 

walk-in freezer unit would normally 

operate. Additionally, the temperature 

conditions specified throughout the 

remaining portions of the recently 

promulgated test procedure for walk-in 

freezers are consistent with the 

operation of a freezer and substantially 

lower than 35 °F. See, e.g. 10 CFR part 

431, subpart R, Appendix A, Sec. 

5.3(a)(2)(i) (specifying the air 

temperature for freezer internal cooling 

conditions at -10 °F). DOE also notes 

that the preamble to the final rule 

explained that, consistent with the 

statute, a 20 °F requirement was being 

adopted in the regulations when testing 

the long-term performance of insulating 

foam for walk-in freezer applications. 

Another necessary correction to the text 

is that a period is needed for both 

conditions to clarify that the two 

conditions pertain to two situations— 

one for freezers and one for coolers. 

In light of the applicable statutory 

requirement, the clear inconsistency 

between the currently published 

temperature testing condition and the 

actual temperatures at which the tested 

products operate, and the fact that DOE 

specifically stated in the final rule’s 

preamble that the rule would apply a 20 

°F requirement for walk-in freezer 

applications, DOE finds that there is 

good cause under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B) to 

not provide prior notice and an 

opportunity for public comment on the 

changes contained in this document. 

For the reasons discussed above, 

providing prior notice and an 

opportunity for public comment would 

be unnecessary and contrary to the 

public interest. 

Accordingly, this correction 

document revises the temperature 

requirement specified in 10 CFR part 

431, subpart R, Appendix A, section 

5.2(a)(1)(i) to specify a 20 °F 

requirement for testing the insulation 

performance of walk-in freezer 

insulation foam and adds a period at the 

end of 10 CFR part 431, subpart R, 

Appendix A, sections 5.2(a)(1)(i) and 

5.2(a)(1)(ii).

Airworthiness Directives; Sikorsky 

Aircraft Corporation (Sikorsky) Model 

S–92A Helicopters 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule; request for 

comments. 

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new 

airworthiness directive (AD) for the 

Sikorsky Model S–92A helicopters. This 

AD requires a nondestructive inspection 

(NDI), eddy current or fluorescent 

penetrant inspection (FPI), of each main 

gearbox (MGB) upper housing assembly 

rib on the left, right, and forward MGB 

mounting foot at specified intervals 

based on the MGB upper housing 

assembly hours time-in-service (TIS). If 

there is a crack, this AD requires 

replacing the MGB upper housing 

assembly with an airworthy MGB upper 

housing assembly. This AD is prompted 

by a report of a crack found on the MGB 

upper housing assembly left mounting 

foot forward rib that cannot be detected 

visually. We are issuing this AD to 

prevent loss of the MGB and subsequent 

loss of control of the helicopter. 

DATES: This AD is effective June 17, 

2011. 

The Director of the Federal Register 

approved the incorporation by reference 

of a certain publication listed in the AD 

as of June 17, 2011. 

We must receive comments on this 

AD by August 1, 2011.
