products in a manner that would ‘‘truly 

represent the energy-consumption 

characteristics of these products’’ and 

offered an alternate test procedure that 

Sanyo E&E Corporation (Sanyo), now 

Panasonic Appliances Refrigeration 

Systems Corporation of America 

(PAPRSA), used in prior waiver 

requests. See 77 FR 49443 (Aug. 16, 

2012) and 78 FR 57139 (Sept. 17, 2013). 

(On October 4, 2012, a correction notice 

to the August 16, 2012 Decision and 

Order was published. See 77 FR 60688.) 

These earlier decisions incorporated a K 

factor (correction factor) value of 0.85 

when calculating the energy 

consumption of a tested model (77 FR 

60688). Sub-Zero requested that it be 

permitted to apply the same procedure 

when testing the energy usage of its 

hybrid refrigerated storage-wine storage 

models. 

Against this background, DOE had 

previously issued guidance in 2011 that 

clarified the test procedures to be used 

for hybrid products such as the SubZero models at issue. That guidance is 

available at the following link: http://

www1.eere.energy.gov/buildings/

appliance_standards/pdfs/

hybridwinechiller_faq2_2011-02-10.pdf. 

The guidance specifies that basic 

models that do not have a separate wine 

storage compartment with a separate 

exterior door, such as those models 

identified in Sub-Zero’s petition, are to 

be tested using the DOE test procedure 

in Appendix A, with the temperatures 

specified therein. Sub-Zero’s waiver 

request seeks to replace the application 

of this general guidance with the more 

recent and specific approach outlined in 

determinations for similar hybrid 

products offered by Sanyo and PAPRSA 

when measuring the efficiency of these 

products. 

Sub-Zero also requested an interim 

waiver from the existing DOE test 

procedure, which DOE granted. See 79 

FR at 55774. An interim waiver may be 

granted if it is determined that the 

applicant will experience economic 

hardship if the application for 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 of the petition for waiver. 

See 10 CFR 430.27(e)(2). 

DOE did not receive any comments on 

the Sub-Zero petition. However, on 

January 16, 2015, Sub-Zero via email to 

DOE indicated that there was an error in 

their waiver submission pertaining to 

the Wine Energy equation which had a 

set of parentheses missing and should 

be the same equation as requested by 

Panasonic Appliances Refrigeration 

Systems Corporation of America 

(PAPRSA) in the Extension of Waiver 

(Case No. RF–041) published in the 

Federal Register on September 17, 2014. 

79 FR 55769. DOE has reviewed the 

alternate procedure and believes that it 

will allow for the accurate measurement 

of the energy use of these products, 

while alleviating the testing problems 

associated with Sub-Zero’s hybrid 

refrigerator basic model. 

III. Consultations With Other Agencies 

DOE consulted with the Federal Trade 

Commission (FTC) staff concerning the 

Sub-Zero petition for waiver. The FTC 

staff did not have any objections to 

granting a waiver to Sub-Zero. 

IV. Conclusion 

After careful consideration of all the 

material that was submitted by Sub-Zero 

and consultation with the FTC staff, it 

is ordered that: 

(1) The petition for waiver submitted 

by Sub-Zero Group, Inc. (Case No. RF– 

040) is hereby granted as set forth in the 

paragraphs below. 

(2) Sub-Zero shall be required to test 

and rate the following Sub-Zero models 

according to the alternate test procedure 

set forth in paragraph (3) below. 

IW–30R 

(3) Sub-Zero shall be required to test 

the products listed in paragraph (2) 

above according to the test procedures 

for electric refrigerator-freezers 

prescribed by DOE at 10 CFR part 430, 

appendix A, except that, for the SubZero product listed in paragraph (2) 

only, with a standardized temperature 

for the wine chiller compartment of 55 

°F, instead of the prescribed 39 °F. SubZero shall also use the K factor 

(correction factor) value of 0.85 when 

calculating the energy consumption of 

the model listed and calculate the 

energy consumption of this model as 

follows: 

Energy consumption is defined by the 

higher of the two values calculated by 

the following two formulas (according 

to 10 CFR part 430, subpart B, Appendix 

A): 

Energy consumption of the wine 

compartment: 

EWine = (ET1 + [(ET2¥ET1) × (55 

°F¥TW1)/(TW2¥TW1)]) × 0.85 

Energy consumption of the 

refrigerated beverage compartment: 

ERefrigerated Compartment = ET1 + 

[(ET2¥ET1) × (39 °F¥TRC1)/

(TRC2¥TRC1)]. 

(4) Representations. Sub-Zero may 

make representations about the energy 

use of its hybrid refrigerated ‘‘storagewine storage’’ products for compliance, 

marketing, or other purposes only to the 

extent that such products have been 

tested in accordance with the provisions 

outlined above and such representations 

fairly disclose the results of such 

testing. 

(5) This waiver shall remain in effect 

consistent with the provisions of 10 CFR 

430.27(l). 

(6) This waiver is issued on the 

condition that the statements, 

representations, and documentary 

materials provided by the petitioner are 

valid. DOE may revoke or modify this 

waiver at any time if it determines the 

factual basis underlying the petition for 

waiver is incorrect, or the results from 

the alternate test procedure are 

unrepresentative of the basic models’ 

true energy consumption characteristics. 

(7) This waiver applies only to those 

basic models set out in Sub-Zero’s May 

19, 2014 petition for waiver. Grant of 

this waiver does not release a petitioner 

from the certification requirements set 

forth at 10 CFR part 429. 

Issued in Washington, DC, on February 4, 

2015.

l. The Keowee-Toxaway Project 

consists of two developments: The 

upstream, 710.1–MW Jocassee 

Development and the downstream, 

157.5-megawatt (MW) Keowee 

Development owned by Duke Energy 

Carolinas, LLC. The Jocassee 

Development includes: A 385-foot-high, 

1,800-foot-long main earthfill dam with 

top elevation at 1,125 feet above mean 

sea level (msl); two circular intake 

structures passing water to two water 

conveyance tunnels leading to four 

turbines; two saddle dikes (825 feet and 

500 feet in length); a partially-open 

powerhouse just downstream of the dam 

containing four reversible pump-turbine 

units authorized for an installed 

capacity of 177.5 MW each; a 50-footwide, concrete, ogee-type spillway with 

two Taintor gates; a 230-kilovolt (kV)

pump-turbines used for generating 

power during peak demand periods 

(typically during the day), and for 

pumping water back through the 

tunnels to Lake Jocassee (typically 

during the night). The pumps have a 

capacity of 32,720 cfs. The Jocassee 

Development is also the lower lake for 

the 1,065 MW Bad Creek Hydroelectric 

Project No. 2740, which is also owned 

by Duke Energy Carolinas, LLC, but is 

not part of this relicensing. 

The Keowee Development includes: A 

165-foot-high, 3,500-foot-long earthfill 

dam impounding the Keowee River, and 

a 165-foot-high, 1,800-foot-long earthfill 

dam impounding the Little River; four 

saddle dikes (1,900 feet, 225 feet, 350 

feet, and 650 feet in length); an intake 

dike at the Oconee Nuclear Station; a 

176-foot wide, concrete, ogee-type 

spillway with four Taintor gates; a 

concrete intake structure leading to two 

penstocks; a concrete powerhouse at the

Pursuant to section 157.9 of the 

Commission’s rules, 18 CFR 157.9, 

within 90 days of this Notice the 

Commission staff will either: Complete 

its environmental assessment (EA) and 

place it into the Commission’s public 

record (eLibrary) for this proceeding; or 

issue a Notice of Schedule for 

Environmental Review. If a Notice of 

Schedule for Environmental Review is 

issued, it will indicate, among other 

milestones, the anticipated date for the 

Commission staff’s issuance of the final 

environmental impact statement (FEIS) 

or EA for this proposal. The filing of the 

EA in the Commission’s public record 

for this proceeding or the issuance of a 

Notice of Schedule for Environmental 

Review will serve to notify federal and 

state agencies of the timing for the 

completion of all necessary reviews, and 

the subsequent need to complete all 

federal authorizations within 90 days of 

the date of issuance of the Commission 

staff’s FEIS or EA. 

There are two ways to become 

involved in the Commission’s review of 

this project. First, any person wishing to 

obtain legal status by becoming a party 

to the proceedings for this project 

should, on or before the comment date 

stated below, file with the Federal 

Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 

First Street NE., Washington, DC 20426, 

a motion to intervene in accordance 

with the requirements of the 

Commission’s Rules of Practice and 

Procedure (18 CFR 385.214 or 385.211) 

and the Regulations under the NGA (18 

CFR 157.10). A person obtaining party 

status will be placed on the service list 

maintained by the Secretary of the 

Commission and will receive copies of 

all documents filed by the applicant and 

by all other parties. A party must submit 

seven copies of filings made with the 

Commission and must mail a copy to 

the applicant and to every other party in 

the proceeding. Only parties to the 

proceeding can ask for court review of 

Commission orders in the proceeding. 

However, a person does not have to 

intervene in order to have comments 

considered. The second way to 

participate is by filing with the 

Secretary of the Commission, as soon as 

possible, an original and two copies of 

comments in support of or in opposition 

to this project. The Commission will 

consider these comments in 

determining the appropriate action to be 

taken, but the filing of a comment alone 

will not serve to make the filer a party 

to the proceeding. The Commission’s 

rules require that persons filing 

comments in opposition to the project 

provide copies of their protests only to 

the party or parties directly involved in 

the protest. 

Persons who wish to comment only 

on the environmental review of this 

project should submit an original and 

two copies of their comments to the 

Secretary of the Commission. 

Environmental commentors will be 

placed on the Commission’s 

environmental mailing list, will receive 

copies of the environmental documents, 

and will be notified of meetings 

associated with the Commission’s 

environmental review process. 

Environmental commentors will not be 

required to serve copies of filed 

documents on all other parties. 

However, the non-party commentors 

will not receive copies of all documents 

filed by other parties or issued by the 

Commission (except for the mailing of 

environmental documents issued by the 

Commission) and will not have the right 

to seek court review of the 

Commission’s final order. 

The Commission strongly encourages 

electronic filings of comments, protests 

and interventions in lieu of paper using 

the ‘‘eFiling’’ link at http://

www.ferc.gov. Persons unable to file 

electronically should submit an original 

and five copies of the protest or 

intervention to the Federal Energy 

regulatory Commission, 888 First Street 

NE., Washington, DC 20426. 

There is an ‘‘eSubscription’’ link on 

the Web site that enables subscribers to
