manually controlled vented heaters on

the basis of the test procedure specified

in Title 10 CFR Part 430, with

modifications set forth below:

(i) Delete paragraph 3.5 of Appendix

O.

(ii) The last paragraph of 3.1.1 of

Appendix O is revised to read as

follows:

3.1.1 (a) For manually controlled gas

fueled vented heaters with various input

rates, determine the steady-state

efficiency at:

(1) A fuel input rate within 50 percent

±5 percent of the maximum fuel input

rate or,

(2) The minimum fuel input rate if the

design of the heater is such that 50

percent ±5 percent of the maximum fuel

input rate can not be set, provided this

minimum input rate is no greater than

two-thirds of the maximum input rate of

the heater.

(b) If the heater is designed to use a

control that precludes operation at other

than maximum output (single firing

rate), determine the steady state

efficiency at the maximum input rate

only.

(iii) Delete paragraph 4.2.4 of

Appendix O and replace with the

following paragraph:

4.2.4 Weighted Average Steady-State

Efficiency. (a) For manually controlled

heaters with various input rates, the

weighted average steady-state efficiency

(ηSS-WT) is:

(1) At 50 percent ±5 percent of the

maximum fuel input rate as measured in

either section 3.1.1 to this appendix for

manually controlled gas vented heaters

or section 3.1.2 to this appendix for

manually controlled oil vented heaters,

or

(2) At the minimum fuel input rate as

measured in either section 3.1.1 to this

appendix for manually controlled gas

vented heaters or section 3.1.2 to this

appendix for manually controlled oil

vented heaters if the design of the heater

is such that 50 percent ±5 percent of the

maximum fuel input rate can not be set,

provided the tested input rate is no

greater than two-thirds of maximum

input rate of the heater.

(b) For manually controlled heaters

with one single firing rate, the weighted

average steady-state efficiency is the

steady-state efficiency measured at the

single firing rate.

(iv) Delete paragraph 4.2.6 of

Appendix O and replace with the

following paragraph:

4.2.6 Annual Fuel Utilization

Efficiency. For manually controlled

vented heaters, calculate the Annual

Fuel Utilization Efficiency (AFUE) as a

percent and defined as:

AFUE = ηu

Where ηu is defined in section 4.2.5 of

this appendix.

(v) With the exception of the

modification set forth above, CFM

Majestic, Inc. shall comply in all

respects with the test procedures

specified in Appendix O of Title 10 CFR

Part 430, Subpart B.

(3) The Waiver shall remain in effect

from the date of issuance of this Order

until DOE prescribes final test

procedures appropriate to models A120,

A125, A130, A132, A230, A232, AB132,

(4) This Waiver is based upon the

presumed validity of statements,

allegations, and documentary materials

submitted by the petitioner. This Waiver

may be revoked or modified at any time

upon a determination that a factual

basis underlying the Petition is

incorrect.

(5) Effective March 3, 1997, this

Waiver supersedes the Interim Waiver
