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 § 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 the U.S. 

Department of Energy (‘‘DOE’’ or in 

context, ‘‘the Department’’). 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 

(discussing DOE’s reasoning for 

codifying parallel provisions for small 

electric motors at 10 CFR 431.447 and 

431.448). 

For a certification program to be 

classified by 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 

§§ 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 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 explaining why the 

organization meets the above criteria, 

include documentation that supports 

the narrative statement, and be signed 

by an authorized representative. 10 CFR 

431.447(c). 

II. Discussion 

Pursuant to §§ 431.447 and 431.448, 

on November 1, 2013, CSA submitted to 

the Department a ‘‘Petition for 

Recognition as a Nationally Recognized 

Certification Program for small electric 

motors’’ (‘‘Petition’’ or ‘‘CSA Petition’’). 

The Petition was accompanied by a 

cover letter from CSA to the 

Department, and the petition itself 

includes five separate sections—(1) 

Scope and Application, (2) Overview of 

CSA Group, (3) Certification and 

Testing—Quality Management System, 

(4) CSA Group’s Motor Energy 

Efficiency Verification Program— 

Product Directory, and (5) Examples of 

Other CSA Group Accreditations. The 

petition included supporting 

documentation on these subjects. Copies 

of the above documents have been 

placed in the docket. 

Consistent with its regulations, the 

Department is soliciting comments, data 

and information on whether it should 

grant the CSA Petition. 10 CFR 

431.448(b). Any person submitting 

written comments to DOE with respect 

to the CSA Petition must also, at the 

same time, send a copy of such 

comments to CSA. As provided under 

section 431.448(c), CSA may submit to 

the Department a written response to 

any such comments. After receiving any 

such comments and responses, the 

Department will issue an interim and 

then a final determination on the CSA 

Petition, in accordance with 

§ 431.448(d) and (e) of 10 CFR part 431. 

In particular, the Department is 

interested in obtaining comments, data, 

and information respecting the 

following evaluation criteria: 

(1) Whether CSA has satisfactory 

standards and procedures for 

conducting and administering a 

certification system, including periodic 

follow up activities to assure that basic 

models of small electric motors 

continue to conform to the efficiency 

levels for which they were certified, and 

for granting a certificate of conformity. 

maindgalligan on DSK5TPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 250 / Monday, December 30, 2013 / Notices 79425 

DOE is also interested in obtaining 

comments as to how rigorously CSA 

operates its certification system under 

the guidelines contained in ISO/IEC 

Guide 65, General requirements for 

bodies operating product certification 

systems. 

(2) Whether CSA is independent of 

small electric motor manufacturers, 

importers, distributors, private labelers 

or vendors. To meet this requirement it 

cannot be affiliated with, have financial 

ties with, be controlled by, or be under 

common control with any such entity. 

(3) Whether CSA is expert in the 

content and application of the test 

procedures and methodologies in IEEE 

Std 112–2004 Test Methods A and B, 

IEEE Std 114–2010, CSA C390–10, and 

CSA C747 (incorporated by reference, 

see 10 CFR 431.443) or similar 

procedures and methodologies for 

determining the energy efficiency of 

small electric motors. DOE is also 

interested in receiving comments on 

whether CSA’s criteria and procedures 

for the selection and sampling of 

electric motors tested for energy 

efficiency are technically appropriate 

and statistically rigorous.

Subject: Petition for Recognition as a 

Nationally Recognized Certification 

Program for small electric motors. 

Dear Mr. Adin, 

Please accept this letter and accompanying 

supporting material as CSA Group’s petition 

for recognition of our small motor energy 

efficiency verification program to be 

classified as a nationally recognized 

certification program in the United States, in 

accordance with 10 CFR Part 431. 

Enclosed please find three (3) binders, each 

containing the required information for the 

Department of Energy (DOE) recognition of 

nationally recognized certification programs 

described in Sections 431.447 and 431.448 of 

10 CFR Part 431, dated May 4, 2012. 

Among the topics, this documentation 

package includes: 

1. A guide describing our small motor 

energy efficiency verification service 

program; 

2. A general description of our quality 

management system covering the essential 

elements of our standards and procedures for 

operating a certification system; 

3. CSA Group By-Laws and assurance of 

our independence and influence from 

manufacturers, suppliers and vendors; and 

4. Samples of CSA Group accreditations. 

CSA Group has been offering a motor 

Energy Efficiency Verification service 

program since 1992 in support of Canadian 

Federal and Provincial Regulations and since 

2002 for evaluation of electric motor 

efficiencies to US DOE requirements. Key 

elements of our program for confirming 

continued compliance of a motor with a 

standard are (1) a detailed construction 

report for a motor on its initial submission; 

(2) follow-up inspections to confirm 

consistency of construction and markings; (3) 

annual re-testing; and (4) challenge testing 

service. CSA Group is confident that our 

organization and staff have proven 

experience in operation a certification 

program in this area, and our certification 

system procedures fully meet the evaluation 

criteria for us to be classified by DOE as a 

nationally recognized certification program.

As Canada’s premier Standards 

Development Organization, CSA Group 

publishes consensus standards to improve 

products and enhance trade—all the time 

ensuring the needs of our various 

Stakeholders are met. By establishing 

consensus among the different interest 

groups, with a balanced committee process, 

CSA Group creates effective standards that 

are frequently referenced in Canadian Energy 

Efficiency Regulations. In addition, US DOE 

electric motor and small electric motor 

Regulations reference CSA Standards such as 

C390–10 and C747–09. 

CSA Standard C390–10, Test method, 

marking requirements and, energy efficiency 

levels for three-phase induction methods, is 

widely used in Canada as an integral part of 

Federal and Provincial Regulations. Electrical 

utility programs also make use of this 

standard to promote the use of higher levels 

of energy performance on a voluntary basis. 

Our intimate knowledge of the standard 

coupled with CSA Group’s recognition as an 

accredited Certification Organization in 

Canada for motor efficiency and electrical 

safety supports the needs of manufacturers, 

consumers and regulators. We provide the 

necessary independent assurance that motors 

covered by government regulations meet and 

continue to comply with the established 

energy efficiency requirements. 

Verification Program 

The acceptance of motors under the CSA 

Group’s energy efficiency verification 

program depends upon the satisfactory 

evaluation and testing to determine that the 

requirements of the applicable standard (CSA 

Standard C390–10, C747–09) are met on a 

continuing basis. The following is a 

description of the major elements of our 

program used for qualifying manufacturers’ 

motors or group of motors. 

Application 

The customer makes an application 

requesting energy efficiency verification for 

his motor and submits all required 

documentation such as a list of all motors 

being submitted by model designation, type, 

and applicable performance ratings. The 

application is given a specific file to track 

and record all activities to the project. A 

qualified person (e.g., professional engineer) 

is then assigned responsibility for handling 

the project. 

Evaluation and Testing 

CSA Group with the manufacturer’s 

assistance prepares a motor control list, 

identifying the critical features and the 

controls for these features for maintaining 

consistent performance with respect to 

energy efficiency. Representative motor 

samples are tested by an acceptable facility 

such as CSA Group or LTE to verify 

manufacturers rated efficiency values. 

Attachment 1 provides a description of the 

procedures used for the initial motor 

qualification testing and the follow-up retesting service to ensure continued 

compliance. A findings letter is then issued 

giving the results of our evaluation and 

actions needed, if applicable, to meet the 

standard. Modified samples may be required 

for further examination and testing. 

Certification 

After the resolution of all the action items 

and all the conditions of the standard are 

met, the applicant is formally authorized to 

apply the CSA Group Energy Efficiency 

Verification Mark. A report is prepared 

describing the product and giving the related 

test results. A directory listing all products 

verified for energy efficiency is published 

and available to the general public. See 

Attachment 2. 

Service Agreement 

The applicant authorized to represent its 

motor as verified with our Energy Efficiency 

Marking must enter a signed agreement with 

CSA Group. This agreement addresses the 

conditions for maintaining certification such 

as access to facilities and records, follow-up 

inspection, product re-testing and challenge 

testing. Manufacturers are also required to 

notify CSA Group when changes are made to 

the motor, which may affect their 

performance rating. These terms and 

conditions are designed to protect the 

integrity of our Energy Efficiency Marking. 

Accompanying Services 

After the motor has been initially evaluated 

and found to comply with the standard, our 

program includes additional services to 

ensure that motors bearing the CSA Group 

verification marking continue to meet the 

applicable requirements. These services are: 

(a) Follow-up inspections;

Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 250 / Monday, December 30, 2013 / Notices 79427 

(b) Product re-testing; and 

(c) Challenge testing. 

Follow-up Inspections 

Follow-up inspections are conducted at the 

point of manufacturing each year to ensure 

that, 

(a) our mark is only applied to motors that 

have been verified for energy efficiency; 

(b) the manufacturers’ product control 

measures are continuing to produce marked 

products that are in compliance with our 

report and the standard; 

(c) samples required for re-testing are 

selected and sealed by CSA Group staff 

during these visits. 

Product Re-testing 

Although a report is generated for motors 

detailing the critical construction features 

needed for maintaining consistent 

performance with respect to energy 

efficiency, our program is supplemented with 

unannounced motor re-testing to the 

specified requirement. This facilitates 

continued compliance with the standard and 

maintains the integrity of our mark. 

Challenge Testing 

Another service—challenge testing—is 

offered to any manufacturer or other party 

wishing to confirm the motor efficiency 

rating of a verified motor. This feature assists 

in ensuring the integrity of our verification 

program and can lead to the motor efficiency 

de-rating or a delisting of a series of motors 

represented by the sample motor. 

Corrective Action 

When a motor fails to comply with the 

standards, we take the following steps: 

(a) remove the verification mark from the 

affected motor or motors; 

(b) delist the motor(s); 

(c) notify the applicable regulatory 

authorities and government departments of 

noncompliant motors (i.e., serial number, 

date code, or equivalent); 

(d) re-test and verify the motor efficiency 

rating after the manufacturer modifies the 

product. 

Sampling Process 

The objective of our sampling process is to 

minimize manufacturers’ tests, costs and 

time to market, while providing sufficient 

confidence that the series of motors verified 

meet the applicable energy efficiency 

standard. The added features of our program 

such as unannounced follow-up inspections, 

random motor re-testing and challenge 

testing are critical components for 

demonstrating continued compliance to the 

standard. As a consequence of our CSA 

Group’s continual surveillance, the following 

sampling process guideline has emerged. 

Samples Required For Motor Model 

Qualification Testing 

Test 5 units of each 5 basic motor model 

type (total of 25 motors). The efficiency of the 

sample lot must equal or exceed the required 

nominal full load efficiency rating. The 

individual sample efficiencies must comply 

with the nominal efficiency tolerance 

required by the Standard. Manufacturer’s 

information indicating efficiency ratings 

must be in agreement with CSA Group’s 

records. 

Selection of Basic Model Types To Represent 

a Series of Motors 

A minimum of five (5) basic model types 

are required to be tested to verify the 

efficiency ratings of a series of motors. The 

basic model types are to be selected such that 

they represent the complete range of motors 

within the series. This may require that more 

than 5 basic model types are selected. High 

volume production motors are to be 

represented in the basic model types 

selected. 

Samples Required For Scheduled Motor Retesting 

A goal for verifying continued compliance 

with the standard is to re-test high volume 

motors at least once every 2 years. Other 

motors of different frame series are to be 

retested as needed to ensure continued 

compliance. 

The initial sample lot shall consist of one 

motor. If the result equals or exceeds the 

minimum result from the qualification tests, 

then no further samples are required. If the 

result is less than the minimum result from 

the qualifying tests, then select motor 

samples per the qualifying test procedure.
