3.8 cubic feet. Samsung expects that the 

majority of Samsung clothes washers will be 

greater than 3.8 cubic feet in capacity. The 

current test procedure, Appendix J1 to 

Subpart B of Part 430, leaves an open gap for 

determining load sizes not covered by Table 

5.1, preventing Samsung from appropriately 

testing clothes washer models with capacity 

greater than 3.8 cubic feet. The Department 

recognized this test method deficiency in the 

Interim Waiver granted to Whirlpool.1

Samsung expects that future clothes 

washer capacities will expand beyond 3.8 

cubic feet, and through extrapolating the 

linear relationship between test load sizes 

and container volume in Table 5.1, Samsung 

proposes the following table for various 

Samsung clothes washer models WF###***, 

where ### designates model number and *** 

designates design characteristics such as 

color, or other clothes washer models 

manufactured by Samsung that are greater 

than 3.8 cubic feet:

The extrapolation was performed on the 

load weight in pounds (lb). The weight in 

kilograms (kg) was converted from lb, where 

1 lb = 0.45359237 kg. The results in kg were 

rounded to two decimal places. 

A similar test load size table was submitted 

by the Association of Home Appliance 

Manufacturers (AHAM) to the Department 

(AHAM Comments on the Framework 

Document for Residential Clothes Washers; 

EERE–2008–BT–STD–0019; RIN 1904–AB90, 

October, 2, 2009). 

Conclusion 

Without the Interim Waiver, Samsung will 

face economic hardship due to lost 

opportunity for sales, and lost investments in 

development and manufacturing. 

On the grounds that current test methods 

for clothes washers will prevent Samsung 

from testing the majority of new clothes 

washer models and likelihood of economic 

hardship, Samsung requests that DOE grants 

Samsung the Interim Waiver and Waiver, to 

utilize the test load size table above for the 

testing of all Samsung clothes washers with 

capacity greater than 3.8 cubic feet. 

Affected Persons 

Primarily affected persons in the clothes 

washers category include Alliance Laundry 

Systems, LLC., BSH Home Appliances Corp., 

Electrolux Home Products, Equator, Fisher & 

Paykel Appliances, Inc., GE Appliances, 

Haier America Trading, L.L.C., LG 

Electronics Inc., Miele Appliances, Inc., and 

Whirlpool Corporation. Samsung will notify 

all these entities as required by the 

Department’s rules and provide them with a 

version of this Petition. A copy was also 

provided to the Association of Home 

Appliance Manufacturers (AHAM).

Title: NOX Budget Trading Program to 

Reduce the Regional Transport of Ozone 

(Renewal). 

ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 1857.05, 

OMB Control No. 2060–0445. 

ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to 

expire on September 30, 2010. Under 

OMB regulations, the Agency may 

continue to conduct or sponsor the 

collection of information while this 

submission is pending at OMB. An 

Agency may not conduct or sponsor, 

and a person is not required to respond 

to, a collection of information, unless it 

displays a currently valid OMB control 

number. The OMB control numbers for 

EPA’s regulations in title 40 of the CFR, 

after appearing in the Federal Register 

when approved, are listed in 40 CFR 

part 9, and are displayed either by 

publication in the Federal Register or 

by other appropriate means, such as on 

the related collection instrument or 

form, if applicable. The display of OMB 

control numbers in certain EPA 

regulations is consolidated in 40 CFR 

part 9. 

Abstract: The NOX Budget Trading 

Program is a market-based cap and trade 

program created to reduce emissions of 

nitrogen oxides (NOX) from power 

plants and other large combustion 

sources in the eastern United States. 

NOX is a prime ingredient in the 

formation of ground-level ozone (smog), 

a pervasive air pollution problem in 

many areas of the eastern United States. 

The NOX Budget Trading Program was 

designed to reduce NOX emissions 

during the warm summer months, 

referred to as the ozone season, when 

ground-level ozone concentrations are 

highest. In 2009 the program was 

replaced by the Clean Air Interstate Rule 

Ozone Season Trading Program 

(CAIROS). Although the trading 

program was replaced after the 2008 

compliance season, this information 

collection is being renewed for two 

reasons. First, some industrial sources 

in certain States are still required to 

monitor and report emissions data to 

EPA under these rules, so we will 

account for their burden. Second, the 

Agency may at some future time, 

reinstitute the NOX Budget Trading 

Program. For example, this might 

happen if both the Clean Air Interstate 

Rule (CAIR) and CAIR replacement 

rules were vacated by the Court. All 

data received by EPA will be treated as 

public information. 

Burden Statement: The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection of information is 

estimated to average 136 hours per 

response. Burden means the total time, 

effort, or financial resources expended 

by persons to generate, maintain, retain, 

or disclose or provide information to or 

for a Federal agency. This includes the 

time needed to review instructions; 

develop, acquire, install, and utilize 

technology and systems for the purposes 

of collecting, validating, and verifying 

information, processing and 

maintaining information, and disclosing 

and providing information; adjust the 

existing ways to comply with any 

previously applicable instructions and 

requirements which have subsequently 

changed; train personnel to be able to 

respond to a collection of information; 

search data sources; complete and 

review the collection of information; 

and transmit or otherwise disclose the 

information. 

Respondents/Affected Entities: 

Electric utilities, industrial sources, and 

other persons. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

122. 

Frequency of Response: Yearly, 

quarterly, occasionally. 

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 

57,586. 

Estimated Total Annual Cost: 

$7,466,951, which includes $3,777,000 

annualized capital and O&M costs. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is a 

decrease of 414,148 hours in the total 

estimated burden currently identified in 

the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR 

Burdens. Previous iterations of this ICR 

included a larger number of affected 

sources and burdens associated with 

program implementation that are now 

covered under several different ICR’s 

including the Clean Air Interstate Rule 

(CAIR) (OMB Control Number 2060– 

0570) and the Air Emissions Reporting 

Rule (AERR) (OMB Control Number 

2060–0580).
