Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 231 / Monday, December 2, 2013 / Notices 72077 

1For editorial reasons, upon codification in the 

U.S. Code, Part C was re-designated Part A–1. 

efficiency of its commercial ice cream 

freezers listed in paragraph (2), for 

compliance, marketing, or other 

purposes, FSI must fairly disclose the 

results of testing under the alternate test 

procedure specified in this waiver. 

(5) This waiver amendment shall 

remain in effect from the date this 

Decision and Order is issued, consistent 

with the provisions of 10 CFR 

431.401(g). DOE notes that it has 

published an amended test procedure 

for commercial refrigeration equipment. 

(77 FR 10292, Feb. 21, 2012). The 

amended test procedure addresses the 

testing issue addressed in this waiver, 

requiring products to be tested at their 

lowest application product temperature. 

Id. Use of the amended test procedure 

will be required on the compliance date 

of any amended standards for this 

equipment. 

(6) This waiver is granted for only 

those models specifically set out in 

FSI’s petition, not future models that 

may be manufactured by FSI. FSI may 

submit a new or amended petition for 

waiver and request for grant of interim 

waiver, as appropriate, for additional 

models for which it seeks a waiver from 

the DOE test procedure. Grant of this 

waiver also does not release FSI from 

the certification requirements set forth 

at 10 CFR part 431. 

(7) 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.

25, 2013.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background and Authority 

Part C of Title III of the Energy Policy 

and Conservation Act contains energy 

conservation requirements for, among 

other things, electric motors and small 

electric motors, including test 

procedures, energy efficiency standards, 

and compliance certification 

requirements. 42 U.S.C. 6311–6316.1

Section 345(c) of EPCA directs the 

Secretary of Energy to require 

manufacturers of electric motors ’’to 

certify through an independent testing 

or certification program nationally 

recognized in the United States, that 

[each electric motor subject to EPCA 

efficiency standards] meets the 

applicable standard.’’ 42 U.S.C. 6316(c). 

Regulations to implement this 

statutory directive are codified in Title 

10 of the Code of Federal Regulations 

Part 431 (10 CFR Part 431) at sections 

431.36, Compliance Certification, 

431.20, Department of Energy 

recognition of nationally recognized 

certification programs, and 431.21, 

Procedures for recognition and 

withdrawal of recognition of 

accreditation bodies and certification 

programs. Sections 431.20 and 431.21 

set forth the criteria and procedures for 

national recognition of an energy 

efficiency certification program for 

electric motors by DOE. With the 

support of a variety of interests, 

including industry and energy 

efficiency advocacy groups, DOE 

published a final rule on May 4, 2012, 

that established requirements for small 

electric motors that are essentially 

identical to the criteria and procedures 

for national recognition of an energy 

efficiency certification program for 

electric motors. See 77 FR 26608, 26629 

(codifying provisions parallel to electric 

motors for small electric motors at 10 

CFR 431.447 and 431.448). 

For a certification program to be 

classified by the DOE as being 

nationally recognized in the United 

States for the testing and certification of 

small electric motors, the organization 

operating the program must submit a 

petition to the Department requesting 

such classification, in accordance with 

sections 431.447 and 431.448. In sum, 

for the Department to grant such a 

petition, the certification program must: 

(1) Have satisfactory standards and 

procedures for conducting and 

administering a certification system, 

and for granting a certificate of 


emcdonald on DSK67QTVN1PROD with NOTICES
72078 Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 231 / Monday, December 2, 2013 / Notices 

conformity; (2) be independent of small 

electric motor manufacturers, importers, 

distributors, private labelers or vendors; 

(3) be qualified to operate a certification 

system in a highly competent manner; 

and (4) be expert in the test procedures 

and methodologies in IEEE Standard 

112–2004 Test Methods A and B, IEEE 

Standard 114–2010, CSA Standard 

C390–10, and CSA C747 or similar 

procedures and methodologies for 

determining the energy efficiency of 

small electric motors, and have 

satisfactory criteria and procedures for 

selecting and sampling small electric 

motors for energy efficiency testing. 10 

CFR 431.447(b). 

Each petition requesting classification 

as a nationally recognized certification 

program must contain a narrative 

statement as to why the organization 

meets the above criteria, be 

accompanied by documentation that 

supports the narrative statement, and be 

signed by an authorized representative. 

10 CFR 431.447(c). 

II. Discussion 

Pursuant to sections 431.447 and 

431.448, on February 20, 2013, UL 

submitted to the Department a Petition 

for ‘‘Classification in Accordance with 

10 CFR 431.447 and 431.448’’ 

(‘‘Petition’’ or ‘‘UL Petition’’). The 

Petition was accompanied by a cover 

letter from UL to the Department, 

containing five separate sections that 

included narrative statements for each— 

(1) Overview, (2) Standards and 

Procedures, (3) Independent Status, (4) 

Qualification of UL LCC and UL 

Verification Services, Inc. to Operate a 

Certification System, and (5) Expertise 

in Small Motor Test Procedures. In 

accordance with the requirements of 

§ 431.448(b), DOE published UL’s 

petition in the Federal Register on May 

16, 2013 and requested public 

comments. 78 FR 28812. 

In response to that notice, the 

National Electrical Manufacturers 

Association (NEMA), a trade association 

representing manufacturers of electrical 

products including small electric 

motors, submitted comments to DOE in 

a letter dated June 17, 2013 (Comment 

response to the published Notice of 

Petition, No. 5). In these comments, 

NEMA cited several concerns regarding 

UL’s petition, listing them in the order 

in which DOE requested comments in 

the notice. UL then submitted a letter to 

DOE dated June 26, 2013 responding to 

NEMA’s comments (Comment 

responding to NEMA’s comments on UL 

petition, No. 6). 

As required by 10 CFR 431.448(d), 

DOE published on September 17, 2013 

an interim notice of determination 

regarding UL’s petition. 78 FR 57137. In 

that notice, DOE provided a description 

of the comments submitted by NEMA 

and the responses to those comments 

from UL. In reviewing the comments 

and responses, DOE found no cause to 

deny UL’s petition and concluded that 

UL could be classified as a nationally 

recognized certification program for 

small electric motors on an interim basis 

pending a 30-day period of public 

comment. 

Having received no comments on the 

interim determination, the Department 

hereby announces its final 

determination pursuant to 10 CFR 

431.448(e) that UL is classified as a 

nationally recognized certification 

program for small electric motors.

25, 2013.
