9332 Federal Register / Vol. 60, No. 33 / Friday, February 17, 1995 / Notices

‘‘[AHAM] unanimously supports the

position that Miele’s condenser clothes

dryer provides separate functions and

utilities which affect energy use and,

therefore, justify creation of a separate

class for condenser clothes dryers. A

separate clothes dryer standard and

modified test procedure applicable to

that product class should be

promulgated.’’

The Department agrees with Miele

and AHAM that the condenser clothes

dryer offers the consumer additional

utility, and is justified to consum more

energy (lower energy factor) versus noncondenser clothes dryers. Furthermore,

the Department believes that the

existing clothes dryer test procedure is

not applicable to the Miele condenser

clothes dryers. This assertion is based

on the fact that the existing test

procedure requires the use of an exhaust

restrictor and does not provide any

definition or mention of condenser

clothes dryers. The Department agrees

with Miele that the current clothes dryer

minimum energy conservation standard

does not apply to Miele’s condenser

clothes dryers. Today’s Decision and

Order exempts Miele from testing its

condenser clothes dryer and

determining an Energy Factor.

The Department is not publishing an

amended test procedure for Miele at this

time because there is not any reason to.

The existing minimum energy

conservation standard for clothes dryers

is not applicable to the Miele condenser

clothes dryer. Furthermore, the FTC

does not have a labeling program for

clothes dryers, therefore, Miele is not

required to test its condenser clothes

dryers.

Presently, the Department is

conducting a rulemaking to review the

minimum energy conservation standard

levels for clothes dryers, clothes

washers, and dishwashers, entitled the

‘‘Three Cleaning Products Rulemaking’’

(Docket No. EE-RM–94–403). The

Department will consider adding a new

product class for condenser clothes

dryers in the above mentioned

rulemaking. The Department will

initiate a clothes dryers test procedure

rulemaking to add the capability of

testing condenser clothes dryers to the

existing test procedure for any potential

future use.

Miele and AHAM provided the

Department with an agreed upon

version of definitions for ‘‘condenser

clothes dryers’’ and ‘‘electric clothes

dryer’’. The Department will consider

these definitions when drafting a

revised test procedure.

Miele also voluntarily provided the

Department with a statement that it

plans on maintaining its condenser

clothes dryer energy Factor within 82.5

percent of the existing non-condenser

clothes dryer standard. The Department

supports this effort, although, this

measure will have no bearing on future

condenser clothes dryer standards.

Conclusion

(1) The Petition for Waiver filed by

Miele (Case CD–001), as modified by

Miele’s letter of December 22, 1994, is

hereby granted as set forth in paragraph

(2) below, subject to the provisions of

paragraphs (3) and (4).

(2) Miele is not required to test its

condenser clothes dryers, models

models T1565CA and T1570C. The

existing 1994 minimum energy

conservation standard for clothes dryers

is not applicable to these Miele

condenser clothes dryers.

(3) The Waiver shall remain in effect

from the date of issuance of this Order

until DOE prescribes final test

proccedures and minimum minimum

energy conservation standards

appropriate to Miele’s condenser clothes

dryers, model T1565CA and T157OC.

(4) This waiver is based upon the

presumed validity of statements,

allegations, and documentary materials

submitted by the petitioner. This

exemption may be revoked or modified

at any time upon a determination that

the factual basis underlying the

submitted data is incorrect.
