Module Shipments Report,’’ move into 

this clearance package to permit EIA to 

better align its surveys and programs. In 

addition, EIA’s proposed new Form 

EIA–930, ‘‘Balancing Authority 

Operations Report,’’’ will collect hourly 

information on the operation of the 

power system, a topic of growing 

interest due to the impact of renewable 

power plants and demand response 

programs on power system performance. 

Changes to the currently approved 

forms in this package include collecting 

enhanced data on power system 

reliability, operations, environmental 

performance, and energy efficiency and 

demand response programs, and 

eliminating questions where the data 

either are no longer needed or cannot be 

accurately or cost-effectively collected. 

In addition, EIA proposes changes to the 

data protection terms for the electric 

power survey forms to uniformly apply 

the same policy regarding electric power 

data. There are two changes in the 

provisions for protecting the survey 

data. The first change is that EIA will 

protect and not publicly disclose the 

information on the individuals who 

complete the survey forms. The second 

change is that, with the exceptions of 

blackstart data and power plant 

construction costs reported on Form 

EIA–860, and all data reported on Form 

EIA–63B, EIA will no longer apply 

disclosure limitation procedures to the 

published aggregate electric power 

statistical data.

ACTION: Proposed information 

collection; request for comments. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of 

Energy (DOE) invites public comment 

on a proposed collection of information 

that DOE is developing for submission 

to the Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) pursuant to the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995. Comments are 

invited on: (a) Whether the proposed 

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance of the 

functions of the agency, including 

whether the information shall have 

practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the 

agency’s estimate of the burden of the 

proposed collection of information, 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used; (c) 

ways to enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and (d) ways to minimize the 

burden of the collection of information 

on respondents, including through the 

use of automated collection techniques 

or other forms of information 

technology. 

DATES: Written comments must be 

submitted on or before February 24, 

2014. 

ADDRESSES: Direct all written comments

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Requests for additional information or 

copies of the information collection 

instrument and instructions should be 

directed to Ashley Armstrong at

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

information collection request contains: 

(1) OMB No. 1910–1400; 

(2) Information Collection Request 

Title: Certification Reports, Compliance 

Statements, Application for a Test 

Procedure Waiver, and Recordkeeping 

for Consumer Products and 

Commercial/Industrial Equipment 

subject to Energy or Water Conservation 

Standards; 

(3) Type of Request: Renewal; 

(4) Purpose: DOE is seeking approval 

to collect information from 

manufacturers and to require that 

manufacturers retain records of covered 

consumer products and commercial and 

industrial equipment pursuant to Title 

III of the Energy Policy and 

Conservation Act of 1975, as amended 

(‘‘EPCA’’), 42 U.S.C. 6291 et seq. The 

EPCA sets forth a variety of provisions 

designed to improve energy efficiency. 

Part A of Title III (42 U.S.C. 6291–6309) 

of the EPCA provides for the Energy 

Conservation Program for Consumer 

Products Other Than Automobiles. 

The Energy Conservation Program for 

Consumer Products Other Than 

Automobiles consists of four parts: (1) 

Testing, (2) labeling, (3) Federal energy 

conservation standards, and (4) 

certification and enforcement 

procedures. The testing requirements 

consist of test procedures that 

manufacturers of covered products must 

use (1) as the basis for certifying to DOE 

that their products comply with the 

applicable energy conservation 

standards adopted under the EPCA, and 

(2) for making representations about the 

efficiency of those products. DOE must 

use these test requirements to determine 

whether the products comply with any 

relevant standards promulgated under 

the EPCA. 

DOE is renewing its information 

collection on the energy and water 

efficiency of consumer products and 

commercial equipment manufactured 

for distribution in commerce in the 

United States. Under the Energy 

Conservation Program for Consumer 

Products Other Than Automobiles DOE 

requires that manufacturers: (1) Submit 

certification and compliance reports for 

each basic model distributed in 

commerce in the U.S.; (2) maintain 

records underlying the certified ratings 

for each basic model including test data 

and the associated calculations; and (3) 

submit an application for a test 

procedure waiver for which 

manufacturers may elect to submit if 

they manufacturer a basic model that 

cannot be tested pursuant to the DOE 

test procedure. 

DOE currently requires manufacturers 

or their party representatives to prepare 

and submit certification reports and 

compliance statements using DOE’s 

electronic Web-based tool, the 

Compliance and Certification 

Management System (CCMS), which is 

the only mechanism for submitting 


emcdonald on DSK67QTVN1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 247 / Tuesday, December 24, 2013 / Notices 77669 

certification reports to DOE. CCMS 

currently has product specific templates 

which manufacturers are required to use 

when submitting certification data to 

DOE. See http:// 

www.regulations.doe.gov/ccms. DOE 

believes the availability of electronic 

filing through the CCMS system reduces 

reporting burdens, streamlines the 

process, and provides the Department 

with needed information in a 

standardized, more accessible form. 

This electronic filing system also 

ensures that records are recorded in a 

permanent, systematic way. 

Covered products and equipment are 

described in 10 CFR parts 429, 430, and 

431. They generally include: (1) 

Residential refrigerators, refrigeratorfreezers and freezers; (2) Room air
