DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

Office of Energy Efficiency and 

Renewable Energy 

[Case No. RF–034] 

Decision and Order Granting a Waiver 

to Samsung From the Department of 

Energy Residential Refrigerator and 

Refrigerator-Freezer Test Procedures 

AGENCY: Office of Energy Efficiency and 

Renewable Energy, Department of 

Energy. 

ACTION: Decision and order. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of 

Energy (DOE) gives notice of its decision 

and order in Case No. RF–034 that 

grants to Samsung Electronics America, 

Inc. (Samsung) a waiver from the DOE 

electric refrigerator and refrigeratorfreezer test procedures for specific basic 

models set forth in its petition for 

waiver. In its petition, Samsung 

provides an alternate test procedure that 

is identical to the test procedure DOE 

published in a final rule dated January 

25, 2012 (77 FR 3559) that 

manufacturers will be required to use 

starting in 2014. Under today’s decision 

and order, Samsung shall be required to 

test and rate these refrigerator-freezers 

using an alternate test procedure as 

adopted in that January 2012 final rule, 

which accounts for multiple defrost 

cycles when measuring energy 

consumption. 

DATES: This Decision and Order is 

effective February 21, 2014.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In 

accordance with Title 10 of the Code of 

Federal Regulations (10 CFR 430.27(l)), 

DOE gives notice of the issuance of its 

decision and order as set forth below. 

The decision and order grants Samsung 

with a waiver from the applicable 

residential refrigerator and refrigeratorfreezer test procedures in 10 CFR part 

430, subpart B, appendix A1 for certain 

basic models of refrigerator-freezers 

with multiple defrost cycles, provided 

that Samsung tests and rates such 

products using the alternate test 

procedure described in this notice. 

Today’s decision prohibits Samsung 

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 decision and 

order 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). 

Issued in Washington, DC, on February 12, 

2014. 

Kathleen B. Hogan, 

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Energy 

Efficiency, Energy Efficiency and Renewable 

Energy. 

Decision and Order 

In the Matter of: Samsung Electronics 

America, Inc. (Case No. RF–034) 

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 A1. 

DOE’s regulations for covered 

products contain provisions allowing a 

person to seek a waiver from the test 

procedure requirements for a particular 

basic model for covered consumer 

products 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 

representative of its energy 

consumption characteristics. 

The Assistant Secretary for Energy 

Efficiency and Renewable Energy (the 

Assistant Secretary) may grant a waiver 

subject to conditions, including 

adherence to alternate test procedures. 

10 CFR 430.27(l). Waivers remain in 

effect pursuant to the provisions of 10 

CFR 430.27(m). 

Any interested person who has 

submitted a petition for waiver may also 

file an application for interim waiver of 

the applicable test procedure 

requirements. 10 CFR 430.27(a)(2). The 

Assistant Secretary will grant an interim 

waiver request if it is determined that 

the applicant will experience economic 

hardship if the interim waiver is denied, 

if it appears likely that the petition for 

waiver will be granted, and/or the 

Assistant Secretary determines that it 

would be desirable for public policy 

reasons to grant immediate relief 

pending a determination on the petition 

for waiver. 10 CFR 430.27(g). 

II. Samsung’s Petition for Waiver: 

Assertions and Determinations 

On September 23, 2013, Samsung 

submitted a petition for waiver from the 

test procedure applicable to residential 

electric refrigerators and refrigeratorfreezers set forth in 10 CFR part 430, 

subpart B, appendix A1. Samsung is 

designing new refrigerator-freezers that 

incorporate multiple defrost cycles. In 

its petition, Samsung seeks a waiver 

from the existing DOE test procedure 

applicable to refrigerators and 

refrigerator-freezers under 10 CFR part 

430 because the existing test procedure 

does not account for multiple defrost 

cycles. Therefore, Samsung has asked to 

use an alternate test procedure that is 

the same as the one manufacturers will 

be required to use in 2014 for products 

with long-time or variable defrost. See 

77 FR 3559 (Jan. 25, 2012) (final rule). 

Samsung has submitted similar 

petitions for waiver and requests for 

interim waiver for other basic models of 

refrigerator-freezers that incorporate
