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

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).

**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 ofManagement 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 standardsestablished 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. Comments may be submitted to DOE using any of the following methods:

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


### 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.
