Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 4 / Monday, January 7, 2008 / Notices 1219 

above. The basis for DACA’s Application for 

Interim Waiver follows. 

DACA is likely to succeed in its Petition 

for Waiver because there is no reasonable 

argument that ISO Standard 13256–1 (1998) 

can be accurately applied to DACA’s VRV–

WII product class. As explained above in the 

DACA’s Petition for Waiver, the design 

characteristics of the VRV–WII product class 

clearly prevent testing of the basic model 

according to the prescribed test procedures. 

The likelihood of DOE approving DACA’s 

Petition for Waiver is buttressed by the DOE’s 

history of approving previous waiver 

requests from DACA and from several other 

manufacturers for other products that are 

similar to the VRV–WII product class, based 

on the same rationale put forth by DACA in 

this Petition for Waiver. See preceding 

discussion of waivers granted by DOE to 

MEUS, Fujitsu General, and Sanyo Fisher 

(USA) Corp. 

Additionally, DACA is likely to suffer 

economic hardship and competitive 

disadvantage if DOE does not grant its 

interim waiver request. DACA is now 

preparing to introduce its VRV–WII product 

class in a matter of months. If we must wait 

for completion of the normal waiver 

consideration and issuance process, DACA 

will be forced to delay the opportunity to 

begin recouping through product sales its 

research, development and production costs 

associated with the VRV–WII product class. 

In addition to these economic hardship costs, 

DACA will lose market share to MEUS, 

especially if DOE grants MEUS’ pending 

interim waiver application for its CITY 

MULTI WR2 and WY product classes, which 

will compete directly with DACA’s VRV–WII 

product class. 

DOE approval of DACA’s interim waiver 

application is also supported by sound 

public policy reasons. As DOE stated in its 

August 14, 2006 approval of DACA’s interim 

waiver for the VRV and VRV-S product 

classes: 

[I]n those instances where the likely 

success of the Petition for Waiver has been 

demonstrated, based upon DOE having 

granted a waiver for a similar product design, 

it is in the public interest to have similar 

products tested and rated for energy 

consumption on a comparable basis. 

The VRV–WII product class will provide 

superior comfort to the end user, will allow 

for independent zoning of facilities from a 

single outdoor unit, and will incorporate 

state of the art technology such as variable 

speed compressors utilizing neodymium 

magnets to increase efficiency and electronic 

control of compressor speed, fan speed and 

even metering device opening positions. The 

VRV–WII product class will introduce 

technologies that will increase system 

efficiency and reduce national energy 

consumption, and that will also offer a new 

level of comfort and control to end users. 

DACA requests that DOE grant our 

Application for Interim Waiver so we can 

bring the new highly energy efficient 

technology represented by the VRV–WII 

product class to the market as soon as 

possible, thereby allowing the U.S. consumer 

to benefit from our high technology and high 

efficiency product, and from competition for 

other manufacturers who may have already 

received waivers. 

Confidential Information 

DACA makes no request to DOE for 

confidential treatment of any information 

contained in this Petition for Waiver and 

Application for Interim Waiver. 

• Conclusion 

Daikin AC (Americas), Inc. Corporation 

respectfully requests DOE to grant its Petition 

for Waiver of the applicable test procedure to 

DACA for the VRV–WII product design, and 

to grant its Application for Interim Waiver. 

DOE’s failure to issue an interim waiver from 

test standards would cause significant 

economic hardship to DACA by preventing 

DACA from marketing these products even 

though DOE has previously granted a waiver 

to other products currently being offered in 

the market with similar design 

characteristics. 

We would be pleased to respond to any 

questions you may have regarding this 

Petition for Waiver and Application for 

Interim Waiver. Please contact Russell 

Tavolacci, Director of Product Marketing at

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION 

AGENCY 

[FRL–8514–2] 

Adaptation for Climate-Sensitive 

Ecosystems and Resources Advisory 

Committee (ACSERAC) 

AGENCY: U.S. Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice of a public conference 

call meeting of the U.S. Environmental 

Protection Agency’s Adaptation for 

Climate-Sensitive Ecosystems and 

Resources Advisory Committee on 

January 15, 2008, from 2 p.m. until 4 

p.m. (EST). 

SUMMARY: Pursuant to the Federal 

Advisory Committee Act, Public Law 

92–463 as amended (5 U.S.C., App. 2), 

notification is hereby given that the U.S. 

Environmental Protection Agency, 

Office of Research and Development 

(ORD) will hold a public conference call 

of the ACSERAC. This public 

conference call meeting is a follow-up to 

the public meeting that was held on 

October 22–23, 2007 (72 FR 52875, 

September 17, 2007). 

The U.S. District Court for the District 

of Northern California has ordered the 

interagency U.S. Climate Change 

Science Program (CCSP) to produce the 

periodic scientific assessment of climate 

change required by the Global Change 

Research Act of 1990 by May 31, 2008 

(Center for Biological Diversity v. 

Brennan et al., 2007 WL 2408901 [No. 

06–7062, Aug. 21, 2007]). Synthesis and 

Assessment Product 4.4, which is being 

reviewed by the ACSERAC, is an 

integral component of this assessment. 

The CCSP has directed EPA to complete 

and submit a final draft of Product 4.4 

to the CCSP by January 31, 2008. To 

meet this deadline, the ACSERAC is 

holding this conference call meeting to 

review its final report on this product. 

This notice is being published less than 

15 days before the teleconference. 

Product 4.4 is a very large document 

that has been developed under an 

unusually short time frame, with 

impacts on the authors’ and committee 

members’ schedules. January 15 is the 

only date that the Committee is 

available to hold this conference call 

meeting. Since EPA will likely have to 

make changes to the document 

following the teleconference, delaying 

this meeting would cause EPA to be late 

in submitting this product to the CCSP. 

Participants will discuss the revisions to 

the document that were a result of the 

public meeting in October. The CCSP 

expects to release the draft scientific 

assessment in April 2008. Interested 

parties will have an opportunity to 

review and comment on the entire 

scientific assessment, including Product 

4.4, when it is released to the public. 

Public Participation: Members of the 

public may submit written comments to 

Joanna Foellmer, Designated Federal 

Official, ACSERAC (see the FOR FURTHER

INFORMATION CONTACT section below). In 

addition, members of the public may 

call into the conference call meeting as 

observers, and there will be a limited 

time for comments from the public. 

Please contact Joanna Foellmer no later 

than January 11, 2008, if you wish to 

make oral comments during the 

conference call meeting. Requests to 

make oral comments must be in writing 

(via e-mail, fax or ground mail). Please 

send a copy of your presentation to 

Joanna Foellmer by January 13, 2008. 

Information on services for the disabled 

may be obtained by contacting Joanna 

Foellmer. 

Agenda: The proposed agenda for the 

conference call includes, but is not 

limited to, an extensive discussion by 

the ACSERAC with respect to EPA’s 

response to the Committee’s comments 

on the external review draft report 

entitled: ‘‘Synthesis and Assessment 

Product 4.4; Preliminary Review of 

Adaptation Options for ClimateSensitive Ecosystems and Resources’’

(SAP 4.4). A draft agenda may be 

obtained from Joanna Foellmer (see the 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT

section below). 

DATES: The conference call will take 

place on January 15, 2008, from 2 p.m. 

until 4 p.m. (EST). 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Questions regarding information and 

logistics for the ACSERAC should be 

directed to Joanna Foellmer by 

telephone: 703–347–8508, by e-mail: 

Foellmer.Joanna@epa.gov, by fax: 703–

347–8694, or by regular mail: Joanna 

Foellmer, ORD/NCEA (Mail Code 

8601P), U.S. Environmental Protection 

Agency, 1200 Pennsylvania Avenue, 

NW., Washington, DC 20460. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

ACSERAC supports the U.S. 

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) 

in its participation in the CCSP, 

specifically in implementation of Goal 4 

of the Strategic Plan for the CCSP. Goal 

4 is to understand ‘‘the sensitivity and 

adaptability of different natural and 

managed ecosystems and human 

systems to climate and related global 

changes.’’ EPA also helps the CCSP 

satisfy its requirement to conduct 

periodic assessments of climate change 

and variability, as set forth in the Global 

Change Research Act of 1990. The 

ACSERAC supports EPA in performing 

its duties and responsibilities.
