SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title III of 

the Energy Policy and Conservation Act 

(EPCA) sets forth a variety of provisions 

concerning energy efficiency. Part B of 

Title III (42 U.S.C. 6291–6309) provides 

for the ‘‘Energy Conservation Program 

for Consumer Products other than 

Automobiles.’’ Part C of Title III (42 

U.S.C. 6311–6317) provides for an 

energy efficiency program entitled 

‘‘Certain Industrial Equipment,’’ which 

is similar to the program in Part B, and 

which includes commercial air 

conditioning equipment, packaged 

boilers, water heaters, and other types of 

commercial equipment. 

Today’s notice involves both 

residential equipment under Part B, and 

commercial equipment under Part C. 

Both Parts specifically provide for 

definitions, test procedures, labeling 

provisions, energy conservation 

standards, and the authority to require 

information and reports from 

manufacturers. With respect to test 

procedures, both Parts generally 

authorize the Secretary of Energy to 

prescribe test procedures that are 

reasonably designed to produce results 

which reflect energy efficiency, energy 

use and estimated annual operating 

costs, and that are not unduly 

burdensome to conduct. (42 U.S.C. 

6293, 6314) 

Fujitsu’s petition requests a waiver 

from both the residential and 

commercial test procedures for its 

Airstage product, which is sold for both 

residential and commercial 

applications.

As noted above, the test procedure for 

residential products appears at 10 CFR 

Part 430, Subpart B. 

For commercial package airconditioning and heating equipment, 

EPCA provides that the test procedures 

shall be those generally accepted 

industry testing procedures developed 

or recognized by the Air-Conditioning 

and Refrigeration Institute (ARI) or by 

the American Society of Heating, 

Refrigerating and Air Conditioning 

Engineers (ASHRAE), as referenced in 

Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 23 / Friday, February 4, 2005 / Notices 5981

ASHRAE/IES Standard 90.1 and in 

effect on June 30, 1992. (42 U.S.C. 

6314(a)(4)(A)) This section also provides 

for the Secretary of Energy to amend the 

test procedure for a product if the 

industry test procedure is amended, 

unless the Secretary determines that 

such a modified test procedure does not 

meet the statutory criteria. (42 U.S.C. 

6314(a)(4)(B)) On October 21, 2004, the 

Department published a direct final rule 

adopting ARI Standard 210/240–2003 

for small commercial package air 

conditioning and heating equipment 

≤65,000 Btu/h. (69 FR 61962) 

The test procedures in that direct final 

rule apply to three-phase products, but 

the Fujitsu product is single phase for 

both residential and commercial use. 

There is no prescribed test procedure for 

single-phase, small commercial 

packaged air conditioning and heating 

equipment, so no test procedure waiver 

is required for commercial Airstage 

products. Moreover, Fujitsu’s Airstage 

products are, since they are distributed 

in commerce, to a significant extent, for 

personal use or consumption by 

individuals, properly classified as a 

consumer product. (42 U.S.C. 

6291(1)(B)) Thus, the Fujitsu Airstage 

products require a waiver only from the 

Department’s residential test procedure, 

which appears at 10 CFR Part 430, 

Subpart B. 

The Department’s regulations contain 

provisions allowing a person to seek a 

waiver from the test procedure 

requirements for covered consumer 

products. These provisions are set forth 

in 10 CFR 430.27. The waiver 

provisions allow the Assistant Secretary 

for Energy Efficiency and Renewable 

Energy to waive temporarily test 

procedures for a particular basic model 

when a petitioner shows that the basic 

model contains one or more design 

characteristics that prevent testing 

according to the prescribed test 

procedures, or when the prescribed test 

procedures may evaluate the basic 

model in a manner so unrepresentative 

of its true energy consumption as to 

provide materially inaccurate 

comparative data. (10 CFR Sections 

430.27 (a)(1)) Waivers generally remain 

in effect until final test procedure 

amendments become effective, thereby 

resolving the problem that is the subject 

of the waiver. 

On June 14, 2004, Fujitsu filed a 

Petition for Waiver from the test 

procedures applicable to residential and 

commercial package air conditioning 

and heating equipment. In particular, 

Fujitsu seeks a waiver from the 

residential test procedure contained in 

10 CFR Part 430, Subpart B, Appendix 

M. As previously discussed, no waiver 

from the commercial test procedure is 

required. Fujitsu seeks a waiver from 

the test procedure for its Airstage 

variable refrigerant flow system, multisplit air conditioner and heat pump 

models listed below:

Outdoor unit, Heat pump type: 

AOU54U**** 

51.9 kBtu/hr cooling/54.4 kBtu/hr 

heating, single phase, 208–230Vac,

AU Series, Ceiling cassette type, 

AUU20/25/30/36/45/54** ** 

The * denotes engineering differences in 

the basic models.

Fujitsu seeks a waiver from the 

applicable test procedure because, 

Fujitsu asserts, the current test 

procedure evaluates its Airstage 

products in a manner that is not 

representative of their true energy 

efficiency. Fujitsu claims that the energy 

usage of its Airstage systems cannot be 

representatively measured using the 

current test procedure for the following 

reasons: 

1. The test procedure provides for 

testing of a pair of indoor and outdoor 

assemblies making up a typical split 

system, but provides no direction about 

how Airstage units, with more than ten 

thousand combinations of indoor units, 

could be evaluated with just one 

outdoor unit test.

2. The test procedure calls for testing 

‘‘matched assemblies,’’ but Airstage 

systems are designed to be used in 

zoning systems where the capacity of 

the indoor units does not match the 

capacity of the outdoor unit. 

The Fujitsu petition requests that DOE 

grant a waiver from the existing test 

procedure until such time as DOE can 

develop and adopt a test procedure that 

properly measures the energy efficiency 

for this class of products. Fujitsu 

intends to work with DOE, stakeholders, 

and ARI to develop the appropriate test 

procedure. 

The Department is publishing 

Fujitsu’s Petition for Waiver in its 

entirety. The Petition contains no 

confidential information. The 

Department solicits comments, data, 

and information with respect to the 

Petition. The Department is particularly 

interested in receiving comments and 

views of interested parties concerning 

any alternate test procedures, or 

modifications to test procedures, which 

the Department could use to fairly 

represent the energy efficiency of 

Fujitsu’s Airstage products. Any person 

submitting written comments must also 

send a copy of such comments to the 

petitioner. 10 CFR 430.27(b)(1)(iv).

BILLING CODE 6450–01–P

5982 Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 23 / Friday, February 4, 2005 / Notices 

Enclosure

Petition for waiver of test procedure 

applicable to our ‘‘Airstage’’, variable 

refrigerant flow multi-split air conditioners 

and heat pumps, is as follows; 

1. The Design Characteristics 

We developed ‘‘Airstage’’ in response to 

the need for a comfortable, more energy 


EN04FE05.001</GPH>
Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 23 / Friday, February 4, 2005 / Notices 5983

efficient air-conditioning system with simple 

zoning. This compact 54000BTU/h variable 

refrigerant flow multi-split system provides 

economical, comfortable air-conditioning for 

a wide range of applications both 

residentially and commercially. It consists of 

one outdoor unit, using a DC Inverter scroll 

compressor with variable capacity, mated to 

multiple indoor units and uses variable 

refrigerant flow and control systems. Piping 

connections are made by separation tube 

and/or header and electronic expansion valve 

units. 

Airstage’’ has the capability of connecting 

a single outdoor unit with up to 8 indoor 

units selected from 5 chassis types with 29 

basic models (listed in item 4 of this 

enclosure), giving these systems more than 

ten thousand installation combinations. The 

operating characteristics allow each indoor 

unit to have a different set temperature and 

a different mode of operation (i.e. on/off/fan). 

The DC Inverter scroll compressor and 

system controls maintain compressor 

operation under optimum pressure. To 

precisely match the performance of the 

system to the load of the conditioned areas, 

‘‘Airstage’’ detects information on capacity 

(refrigerant requirements) in the indoor units 

and temperature (converted into pressure 

value) of refrigerant gas fed into the 

compressor through the refrigerant flow 

system. 

The compressor is capable of reducing its 

operating capacity to as little as 20% of its 

rated capacity. Zone diversity enables 

‘‘Airstage’’ to have a total connected indoor 

unit capacity of up to 150% of the capacity 

of the outdoor unit. 

2. The Grounds for the Petition 

We seek a waiver from the test procedures 

applicable to central air conditioners and 

central air conditioning heat pumps under 

Title III of the Energy Policy and 

Conservation Act (EPCA), Part B of Title III 

(42 U.S.C. 6291–6309) Energy Conservation 

Program for Consumer Products other than 

Automobiles and 10 CFR 430 Energy 

Conservation Program for Consumer Products 

and Part C of Title III (42 U.S.C. 6311–6317) 

Energy Efficiency of Industrial Equipment 

and 10 CFR 431 Energy Efficiency Program 

for Certain Commercial and Industrial 

Equipment. 

In particular, we seek a waiver from the 

currently applicable test procedures provided 

in 10 CFR 430. 23 (m) Central Air 

Conditioners and 10CFR 430.27 Appendix M, 

Subpart B Uniform Test Method for 

Measuring the Energy Consumption of 

Central Air Conditioners for residential uses 

and ARI 210/240 (1989) and ARI 210/240 

(1994) that you intend to adopt for 

commercial uses.

3. The Specific Requirements Sought To Be 

Waived and the Need for the Waiver 

We seek a waiver from the applicable test 

procedures for ‘‘Airstage’’, because the 

current test procedures evaluates ‘‘Airstage’’

in a manner so unrepresentative of its true 

energy consumption as to provide materially 

inaccurate comparative data. We indicate two 

reasons and describe the details as follows; 

(1) The test procedures provide for testing 

of a pair of indoor and outdoor assemblies 

making up a typical split system, but 

provides no direction about how ‘‘Airstage’’, 

with more than ten thousand combinations of 

indoor units, could be evaluated with just 

one outdoor unit test. 

The test procedures do not provide for 

separate testing of indoor and outdoor unit of 

split systems. Rather, they provide for the 

indoor and outdoor unit to be tested together. 

Almost all of the systems covered by test 

procedures have one outdoor unit matched to 

one indoor unit. 

Typical multi-split central air conditioners 

and heat pumps systems (a configuration 

with up to four indoor units and one outdoor 

unit) are presently tested with all indoor 

units operating. It is practical for these 

systems to be tested in this manner because 

matching of indoor units to the outdoor unit 

are defined and test can be performed with 

standard representative combination of 

outdoor and indoor units. However with 

‘‘Airstage’’ there is no standard 

representative combination of outdoor and 

indoor units for testing. 

Airstage products are intended to be used 

in zoning systems where an outdoor unit can 

be connected with up to 8 separate indoor 

units in a zoned system. Moreover, we offer 

29 indoor unit models. Each of these indoor 

unit models is designed to be used with up 

to 7 other indoor units, which need not be 

the same models, in combination with a 

single outdoor unit. Thus, for each 

‘‘Airstage’’ outdoor unit, there are more than 

ten thousand possible combinations of 

indoor units that can be matched in a system 

configuration. 

The current test procedure provides no 

direction for determining what combinations 

of outdoor unit and indoor units should be 

tested in these circumstances. While a test 

procedure using two or three indoor units 

whose total capacity matches that of the 

outdoor unit may be considered, the results 

will not entirely represent the system’s true 

energy consumption characteristics. Because 

the test procedure sets a condition to the 

ratings based on one test combination among 

more than ten thousand possible 

combinations, they do not represent all 

system combinations and consumers may 

misread true energy consumption if their 

system configuration differs from that 

condition. 

However, it is unduly burdensome for us 

to conduct each possible combination and 

not practical. Thus, the test procedure does 

not contemplate, and cannot practically be 

applied to our ‘‘Airstage’’ consisting of 

multiple assemblies that are intended to be 

used in a very large number of different 

combinations. 

(2) The test procedure calls for testing 

‘‘matched assemblies’’, but ‘‘Airstage’’ is 

designed to be used in zoning systems where 

the capacity of the indoor units does not 

match capacity of the outdoor unit. 

Indoor and outdoor coils in split systems 

are typically balanced and the capacity of the 

outdoor coil is equivalent to the capacity of 

the indoor coil. However, with ‘‘Airstage’’ the 

sum of the capacity of the indoor units 

connected into the system can be as much as 

150% of the capacity of the outdoor coil. 

Such unbalanced combinations of indoor 

units and outdoor unit are possible because 

of the zoning characteristics of the system; 

the use of electronic expansion valves to 

precisely control refrigerant flow to each 

indoor unit; and the system intelligence for 

overall system control. The test procedure 

designed for matched assemblies does not 

contemplate or address testing for 

substantially unbalanced zoning systems. 

For these reasons, the existing test 

procedures evaluate ‘‘Airstage’’ in a manner 

so unrepresentative of its true energy 

consumption characteristics as to provide 

materially inaccurate comparative data. 

It is not surprising that the existing test 

procedures do not address the issues listed 

above, because variable refrigerant flow 

multi-split systems are newly developed and 

recently proposed for use in North American 

markets. However, without a waiver of the 

test procedures for variable refrigerant flow 

multi-split systems like ‘‘Airstage’’, we are at 

a competitive disadvantage in the market. 

Customers expect us to provide more 

energy efficiency products however, the 

current test procedures cannot be 

meaningfully applied to ‘‘Airstage’’ for the 

reasons described above. Moreover, if there is 

an applicable test procedure for a covered 

product, 42 U.S.C. 6293(c) and 42 U.S.C. 

6314(d) of EPCA prohibits a manufacturer 

from making representations about the 

energy consumption of the equipment unless 

the equipment has been tested in accordance 

with such test procedures and the 

representation fairly discloses the results of 

the testing. 

Therefore, we are at a disadvantage in our 

ability to provide information on energy 

consumption to our customers. 

This is particularly counterproductive for 

the ‘‘Airstage’’ because these systems are 

specifically designed to deliver energy 

savings for customers. 

We will do our best to explain customers 

that current test procedures evaluate 

‘‘Airstage’’ in a manner so unrepresentative 

of its true energy consumption characteristics 

and we applied you for a waiver of test 

procedures for ‘‘Airstage’’.

4. Identification of the Basic Models 

We seek a waiver from the test procedures 

for ‘‘Airstage’’, variable refrigerant flow 

system multi split air conditioners and heat 

pumps, listed below;

Outdoor unit, Heat pump type: AOU54U**** 

15.2kW cooling/16.6kW heating, single 

phase, 208–230Vac, 60Hz 

Outdoor unit, Cooling only type: 

AOU54F  

15.2kW cooling, single phase, 208–230Vac, 

60Hz

The * denotes engineering differences in the 

basic models. 

5984 Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 23 / Friday, February 4, 2005 / Notices 

5. Identification of the Manufacturers of All 

Other Basic Models 

Variable refrigerant flow multi split air 

conditioner and heat pump systems are 

proposed in the United States by Mitsubishi 

Electric and Electronics USA Inc. and 

Samsung Electronics Company, Ltd. 

However, their application is almost 

exclusively for commercial or industrial uses 

and not for residential use. Our ‘‘Airstage’’, 

compact, economical and comfortable airconditioning and heat pump systems, are 

developed especially for residential and 

commercial uses. 

As far as we know, Samsung Electronics 

Company, Ltd might offer residential type. 

6. Alternate Test Procedures 

As we mentioned in (1) of item 3, two or 

three indoor units whose total capacity 

match capacity of outdoor unit may be used 

for testing, but will not entirely represent the 

true energy consumption characteristics. 

Thus, there are no alternative test procedures 

known to us that could evaluate these 

products in a representative manner. 

Conclusion 

We seek a waiver of current test procedures 

established in 10 CFR 430.23(m) Central Air 

Conditioners and 10 CFR 430.27 Appendix M 

to Subpart B Uniform Test Method for 

Measuring the Energy Consumption of 

Central Air Conditioners for residential uses 

and ARI 210/240 (1989) and ARI 210/240 

(1994) for commercial uses, because the 

current test procedures evaluate the basic 

models in a manner so unrepresentative of 

their true energy consumption characteristics 

as to provided materially inaccurate 

comparative data and would like you to grant 

a waiver from existing test procedures until 

a representative test procedure is developed 

and approved by you. 

We will work with stakeholders, U.S. 

Department of Energy, Air-Conditioning & 

Refrigeration Institute and others, through 

the process of developing test procedures 

suitable for products using variable 

refrigerant flow systems.

On January 25, 2005, the Commission 

granted the request for blanket approval 

under part 34, subject to the following: 

Any person desiring to be heard or to 

protest the blanket approval of 

issuances of securities or assumptions of 

liability by CSFBE should file a motion 

to intervene or protest with the Federal 

Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 

First Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426, 

in accordance with Rules 211 and 214 

of the Commission’s Rules of Practice 

and Procedure. 18 CFR 385.211, 385.214 

(2004). 

Notice is hereby given that the 

deadline for filing motions to intervene 

or protest, is February 24, 2005. 

Absent a request to be heard in 

opposition by the deadline above, 

CSFBE is authorized to issue securities 

and assume obligations or liabilities as 

a guarantor, indorser, surety, or 

otherwise in respect of any security of 

another person; provided that such 

issuance or assumption is for some 

lawful object within the corporate 

purposes of CSFBE, compatible with the 

public interest, and is reasonably 

necessary or appropriate for such 

purposes. 

The Commission reserves the right to 

require a further showing that neither 

public nor private interests will be 

adversely affected by continued 

approval of CSFBE’s issuances of 

securities or assumptions of liability.
