Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 64 / Monday, April 5, 2010 / Proposed Rules 17079 

In view of the above, the information 

to be collected is the same as the 

Compliance Certification information, at 

appendix C to subpart B of 10 CFR part 

431, which provides a format for a 

manufacturer or private labeler to report 

the energy efficiency of its basic models 

of electric motors according to rated 

horsepower or kilowatts, number of 

poles, and open or enclosed 

construction. Further, it provides a 

means for a manufacturer or private 

labeler to certify compliance with the 

applicable energy efficiency standards 

prescribed under section 342(b)(1) of 

EPCA, codified at 42 U.S.C. 6313(b)(1), 

through an independent testing or 

certification program nationally 

recognized in the United States (section 

345(c) of the EPCA, codified at 42 U.S.C. 

6316(c)). The information contained in 

the Compliance Certification is a basis 

for the energy efficiency information 

marked on the permanent nameplate of 

an electric motor and thereby enables 

purchasers to compare the energy 

efficiencies of similar motors. 10 CFR 

431.31. Compliance Certification 

information facilitates voluntary 

compliance with and enforcement of the 

energy efficiency standards established 

for electric motors under EPCA 

342(b)(1), 42 U.S.C. 6313(b)(1).

collection is two-fold: (a) To require the 

manufacturer or private labeler of 

certain commercial or industrial electric 

motors subject to energy efficiency 

standards prescribed under section 

342(b) of EPCA to establish, maintain, 

and retain records of its test data and 

subsequent verification of any 

alternative efficiency determination 

method used under part 431, et seq.; 

and (b) to preclude distribution in 

commerce of any basic model of 

commercial or industrial electric motor 

that is subject to an energy efficiency 

standard set forth under subpart B of 

part 431, unless the manufacturer or 

private labeler of that motor has 

submitted a Compliance Certification to 

DOE according to the provisions under 

10 CFR 431.36, certifying that the basic 

model meets the requirements of the 

applicable standard. This information 

ensures compliance with the energy 

efficiency standards for certain 

commercial and industrial electric 

motors. (5) Estimated Number of 

Respondents: There are approximately 

100 manufacturers and private labelers 

that distribute in commerce in the 

United States electric motors covered 

under 10 CFR part 431, et seq. (6)

are approximately 300 total 

recordkeeping and reporting hours (3 

hours per manufacturer or private 

labeler) at a total annualized cost of 

approximately $20,000 ($200 per 

manufacturer or private labeler). (7) 

Number of Collections: The request 

contains one information and 

recordkeeping requirement for all 

manufacturers or private labelers.

AGENCY: Office of Energy Efficiency and 

Renewable Energy, Department of 

Energy. 

ACTION: Notice and request for comment. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of 

Energy (DOE), pursuant to the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, has 

initiated through the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) a threeyear extension of its compliance 

certification information collection: 

Certification Report for Distribution 

Transformers, OMB Control Number 

1910–5130. The information collection 

is used by manufacturers or private 

labelers to report on and certify 

compliance with energy efficiency 

standards for distribution transformers. 

The collection covers information 

necessary for the DOE and United States 

Customs Service officials to facilitate 

compliance with and enforcement of the 

energy conservation standards 

established for certain low-voltage drytype, medium-voltage type, and liquid 

immersed distribution transformers. 

DATES: Comments regarding this 

collection must be received on or before 

June 4, 2010. 

ADDRESSES: Comments must identify the 

information collection for distribution 

transformers and provide the docket 

number EERE–2009–BT–CRT–0029.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background: Section 325(y) of the 

Energy Policy and Conservation Act 

(EPCA), 42 U.S.C. 6295(y), establishes 

energy conservation standards for 

certain distribution transformers. On 

July 25, 2006, DOE published a Notice 

of Proposed Rulemaking (71 FR 42216) 

to set forth Compliance Certification 

requirements under 10 CFR 

431.371(a)(6)(ii), (b)(1), and appendix C 

to subpart T. These requirements were 

finalized on January 5, 2010 (75 FR 652) 

and became effective February 4, 2010. 

The Compliance Certification reports on 

and certifies compliance with the 


srobinson on DSKHWCL6B1PROD with PROPOSALS
17080 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 64 / Monday, April 5, 2010 / Proposed Rules 

requirements for distribution 

transformers. It has two elements: a 

compliance statement that certifies 

compliance with the requirements 

contained in 10 CFR part 431 (Energy 

Conservation Program for Certain 

Commercial and Industrial Equipment), 

and a certification report that provides 

energy efficiency information for each 

basic model of distribution transformer 

that a manufacturer or private labeler 

distributes in commerce in the United 

States. It is the basis for the energy 

efficiency information marked on the 

permanent nameplate of a distribution 

transformer which enables purchasers to 

compare the energy efficiencies of 

similar distribution transformers. The 

information contained in the 

compliance statements and certification 

reports facilitates compliance with and 

enforcement of the energy efficiency 

standards established for distribution 

transformers under 325(y) of EPCA, 42 

U.S.C. 6295(y). 

(1) OMB No.: 1910–5130. (2) 

Collection Title: Title 10 of the Code of 

Federal Regulations, Part 431—Energy 

Efficiency Program for Certain 

Commercial and Industrial Equipment: 

Subpart K—Distribution Transformers: 

10 CFR 431.197, Manufacturer’s 

determination of efficiency for 

distribution transformers; Subpart T— 

Certification and Enforcement: 10 CFR 

431.371(a)(6)(ii), (b)(1), Certification, 

and appendix C to subpart T— 

Certification Report for Distribution 

Transformers. (3) Type of Review: 

Extension of a currently approved 

collection. (4) Purpose: The purpose of 

the collection is two-fold. First, it 

requires the manufacturer or private 

labeler of certain commercial or 

industrial distribution transformers 

subject to energy efficiency standards 

prescribed under 10 CFR 431.196 to 

establish, maintain, and retain records 

of its test data and subsequent 

verification of any alternative efficiency 

determination method used under part 

431, et seq. Second, it allows DOE to 

determine whether, for any basic model 

of commercial or industrial distribution 

transformer that is subject to an energy 

efficiency standard set forth under 

subpart K of part 431, the manufacturer 

or private labeler of that distribution 

transformer has submitted a Compliance 

Certification to DOE according to the 

provisions under 10 CFR 

431.371(a)(6)(ii) and (b)(1). By its 

submission, the manufacturer or private 

labeler is certifying that the basic model 

meets the requirements of the applicable 

standard. This information ensures 

compliance with the energy efficiency 

standards for certain commercial and 

industrial distribution transformers. (5) 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

There are approximately 100 

manufacturers and private labelers that 

distribute in commerce in the United 

States distribution transformers covered 

under 10 CFR part 431, et seq. (6) 

Estimated Total Burden Hours: There 

are approximately 96 total 

recordkeeping and reporting hours per 

company per year at a total annualized 

cost of approximately $1,300 dollars per 

respondent. (7) Number of Collections: 

The request contains one information 

and recordkeeping requirement for all 

manufacturers or private labelers.
