characteristics of the least efficient 

products in that class and, for products 

already subject to energy conservation 

standards, usually is a model that just 

meets the current standard. Chapter 5 of 

the preliminary TSD discusses the 

engineering analysis. 

B. Markups To Determine Product 

Prices 

DOE derives consumer prices for 

products from data on manufacturer 

costs, manufacturer markups, retailer 

markups, distributor markups, and sales 

taxes. In deriving these markups, DOE 

has determined (1) the distribution 

channels for product sales; (2) the 

markup associated with each party in 

the distribution chain; and (3) the 

existence and magnitude of differences 

between markups for baseline products 

(baseline markups) and for more 

efficient products (incremental 

markups). DOE calculates both overall 

baseline and overall incremental 

markups based on the product markups 

at each step in the distribution chain. 

The overall incremental markup relates 

the change in the manufacturer sales 

price of higher efficiency models (the 

incremental cost increase) to the change 

in the retailer or distributor sales price. 

Chapter 6 of the preliminary TSD 

discusses estimating markups. 

C. Energy Use Analysis 

The energy use analysis provides 

estimates of the annual energy 

consumption of BCs and EPSs. DOE 

uses these values in the LCC and PBP 

analyses and in the NIA. DOE 

developed energy consumption 

estimates for each of the products 

analyzed in the engineering analysis 

and for those non-analyzed product 

classes included in the NIA. Chapter 7 

of the preliminary TSD discusses the 

energy use analysis. 

D. Life-Cycle Cost and Payback Period 

Analyses 

The LCC and PBP analyses determine 

the economic impact of potential 

standards on individual consumers. The 

LCC is the total consumer expense for 

a product over the life of the product. 

The LCC analysis compares the LCCs of 

products designed to meet possible 

energy conservation standards with the 

LCCs of the products likely to be 

installed in the absence of standards. 

DOE determines LCCs by considering 

(1) total or incremental installed cost to 

the purchaser (which consists of 

manufacturer selling price, sales taxes, 

distribution chain markups, and 

installation cost); (2) the operating 

expenses of the products (energy use 

and maintenance); (3) product lifetime; 

and (4) a discount rate that reflects the 

real consumer cost of capital and puts 

the LCC in present-value terms. The 

PBP is the number of years needed to 

recover the increase in purchase price 

(including installation cost) of more 

efficient products through savings in the 

operating cost of the product. It is the 

quotient of the change in total installed 

cost due to increased efficiency divided 

by the change in annual operating cost 

from increased efficiency. Chapter 8 of 

the preliminary TSD discusses the LCC 

and PBP analyses. 

E. National Impact Analysis 

The NIA estimates the national energy 

savings (NES) and the net present value 

(NPV) of total consumer costs and 

savings expected to result from new 

standards at specific efficiency levels. 

DOE calculated NES and NPV for each 

candidate standard level as the 

difference between a base case forecast 

(without new standards) and the 

standards case forecast (with standards 

at that level). Cumulative energy savings 

are the sum of the annual NES 

determined over a specified time period. 

The national NPV is the sum over time 

of the discounted net savings each year, 

which consists of the difference 

between total operating cost savings and 

increases in total installed costs. Critical 

inputs to this analysis include 

shipments projections, estimated 

product lifetimes, and estimates of 

changes in shipments in response to 

changes in product costs due to 

standards. Chapter 10 of the preliminary 

TSD discusses the NIA. 

DOE consulted with interested parties 

as part of its process for conducting all 

of the analyses and invites further input 

from the public on these topics. The 

preliminary analytical results are 

subject to revision following review and 

input from the public. The final rule 

will contain the final analysis results. 

The Department encourages those 

who wish to participate in the public 

meeting to obtain the preliminary TSD 

and to be prepared to discuss its 

contents. A copy of the preliminary TSD 

is available at the Web address given in 

the SUMMARY section of this notice. 

However, public meeting participants 

need not limit their comments to the 

topics identified in the preliminary 

TSD. The Department is also interested 

in receiving views concerning other 

relevant issues that participants believe 

would affect energy conservation 

standards for these products or that DOE 

should address in the NOPR. 

Furthermore, the Department invites 

all interested parties, regardless of 

whether they participate in the public 

meeting, to submit in writing by October 

15, 2010, comments and information on 

matters addressed in the preliminary 

TSD and on other matters relevant to 

consideration of standards for battery 

chargers and external power supplies. 

The public meeting will be conducted 

in an informal, conference style. A court 

reporter will be present to record the 

minutes of the meeting. There shall be 

no discussion of proprietary 

information, costs or prices, market 

shares, or other commercial matters 

regulated by United States antitrust 

laws. 

After the public meeting and the 

expiration of the period for submitting 

written statements, the Department will 

consider all comments and additional 

information that is obtained from 

interested parties or through further 

analyses, and it will prepare a NOPR. 

The NOPR will include proposed energy 

conservation standards for the products 

covered by this rulemaking, and 

members of the public will be given an 

opportunity to submit written and oral 

comments on the proposed standards.

Background and Purpose 

On November 13, 2010 from 7 a.m. to 

11 a.m., the Wilmington Family YMCA 

will sponsor the ‘‘Beach 2 Battleship 

Full and Half Iron Distance Triathlon’’ 

on the waters of Banks Channel 

including the waters of Wrightsville 

Channel adjacent to Wrightsville Beach, 

North Carolina. The swim portion of the 

event will consist of two groups of 750 

swimmers entering Banks Channel 

south west of the Coast Guard Station 

and swimming northeast along 

Wrightsville Channel and Motts 

Channel to Seapath Marina. A fleet of 

spectator vessels are expected to gather 

near the event site to view the 

competition. To provide for the safety of 

the participants, spectators and other 

transiting vessel, the Coast Guard will 

temporarily restrict vessel traffic in the 

event area during this event. 

Discussion of Proposed Rule 

The Coast Guard is proposing to 

establish a special local regulation that 

will restrict vessel movement on the 

specified waters of Wrightsville 

Channel, Wrightsville Beach, NC. 

During the Marine Event no vessel will 

be allowed to transit the waterway 

unless the vessel is given permission 

from the Patrol Commander to transit. 

Any vessel transiting the regulated 

area must do so at a no-wake speed 

during the effective period. Nothing in 

this proposed rule negates the 

requirement to operate at a safe speed as 

provided in the Navigational Rules and 

Regulations. 

Regulatory Analysis 

We developed this proposed rule after 

considering numerous statutes and 

executive orders related to rulemaking. 

Below we summarize our analyses 

based on 13 of these statutes or 

executive orders. 

Regulatory Planning and Review 

This proposed rule is not a significant 

regulatory action under section 3(f) of 

Executive Order 12866, Regulatory 

Planning and Review, and does not 

require an assessment of potential costs 

and benefits under section 6(a)(3) of that 

Order. The Office of Management and 


srobinson on DSKHWCL6B1PROD with PROPOSALS
56026 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 178 / Wednesday, September 15, 2010 / Proposed Rules 

Budget has not reviewed it under that 

Order. Although this regulation 

prevents traffic from transiting waters of 

Wrightsville Channel during the event, 

the effect of this regulation will not be 

significant due to the limited duration 

that the regulated area will be in effect. 

Extensive advance notification will be 

made to the maritime community via 

marine information broadcast and local 

area newspapers so mariners can adjust 

their plans accordingly. Vessel traffic 

will be able to transit the regulated area 

before and after the races, when the 

Coast Guard Patrol Commander deems it 

is safe to do so. 

Small Entities 

Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act 

(5 U.S.C. 601–612), we have considered 

whether this proposed rule would have 

a significant economic impact on a 

substantial number of small entities. 

The term ‘‘small entities’’ comprises 

small businesses, not-for-profit 

organizations that are independently 

owned and operated and are not 

dominant in their fields, and 

governmental jurisdictions with 

populations of less than 50,000. 

The Coast Guard certifies under 5 

U.S.C. 605(b) that this proposed rule 

would affect the following entities, 

some of which might be small entities: 

The owners or operators of vessels 

intending to transit this section of the 

Wrightsville Channel from 7 a.m. to 11 

a.m. on November 13, 2010. 

This rule will not have a significant 

economic impact on substantial number 

of small entities for the following 

reasons. Although the regulated area 

will apply to the Wrightsville Channel, 

traffic may be allowed to pass through 

the regulated area with the permission 

of the Coast Guard Patrol Commander. 

In the case where the Patrol Commander 

authorizes passage through the 

regulated area, vessels shall proceed at 

the minimum speed necessary to 

maintain a safe course that minimizes 

wake near the swim course. The Patrol 

Commander will allow nonparticipating vessels to transit the event 

area once all swimmers are safely clear 

of navigation channels and vessel traffic 

areas. Before the enforcement period, 

we will issue maritime advisories so 

mariners can adjust their plans 

accordingly. 

If you think that your business, 

organization, or governmental 

jurisdiction qualifies as a small entity 

and that this rule would have a 

significant economic impact on it, 

please submit a comment (see 

ADDRESSES) explaining why you think it 

qualifies and how and to what degree 

this rule would economically affect it. 

Assistance for Small Entities 

Under section 213(a) of the Small 

Business Regulatory Enforcement 

Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104–121), 

we want to assist small entities in 

understanding this proposed rule so that 

they can better evaluate its effects on 

them and participate in the rulemaking 

process. If the rule would affect your 

small business, organization, or 

governmental jurisdiction and you have 

questions concerning its provisions or 

options for compliance, please contact 

BOSN3 Joseph Edge, Prevention 

Department, Sector North Carolina, 

252–247–4525. The Coast Guard will 

not retaliate against small entities that 

question or complain about this 

proposed rule or any policy or action of 

the Coast Guard. 

Collection of Information 

This proposed rule would call for no 

new collection of information under the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 

U.S.C. 3501–3520.). 

Federalism 

A rule has implications for federalism 

under Executive Order 13132, 

Federalism, if it has a substantial direct 

effect on State or local governments and 

would either preempt State law or 

impose a substantial direct cost of 

compliance on them. We have analyzed 

this proposed rule under that Order and 

have determined that it does not have 

implications for federalism. 

Unfunded Mandates Reform Act 

The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act 

of 1995 (2 U.S.C. 1531–1538) requires 

Federal agencies to assess the effects of 

their discretionary regulatory actions. In 

particular, the Act addresses actions 

that may result in the expenditure by a 

State, local, or tribal government, in the 

aggregate, or by the private sector of 

$100,000,000 (adjusted for inflation) or 

more in any one year. Though this 

proposed rule would not result in such 

an expenditure, we do discuss the 

effects of this rule elsewhere in this 

preamble. 

Taking of Private Property 

This proposed rule would not cause a 

taking of private property or otherwise 

have taking implications under 

Executive Order 12630, Governmental 

Actions and Interference with 

Constitutionally Protected Property 

Rights. 

Civil Justice Reform 

This proposed rule meets applicable 

standards in sections 3(a) and 3(b)(2) of 

Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice 

Reform, to minimize litigation, 

eliminate ambiguity, and reduce 

burden. 

Protection of Children 

We have analyzed this proposed rule 

under Executive Order 13045, 

Protection of Children from 

Environmental Health Risks and Safety 

Risks. This rule is not an economically 

significant rule and would not create an 

environmental risk to health or risk to 

safety that might disproportionately 

affect children. 

Indian Tribal Governments 

This proposed rule does not have 

tribal implications under Executive 

Order 13175, Consultation and 

Coordination with Indian Tribal 

Governments, because it would not have 

a substantial direct effect on one or 

more Indian tribes, on the relationship 

between the Federal Government and 

Indian tribes, or on the distribution of 

power and responsibilities between the 

Federal Government and Indian tribes. 

Energy Effects 

We have analyzed this proposed rule 

under Executive Order 13211, Actions 

Concerning Regulations That 

Significantly Affect Energy Supply, 

Distribution, or Use. We have 

determined that it is not a ‘‘significant 

energy action’’ under that order because 

it is not a ‘‘significant regulatory action’’ 

under Executive Order 12866 and is not 

likely to have a significant adverse effect 

on the supply, distribution, or use of 

energy. The Administrator of the Office 

of Information and Regulatory Affairs 

has not designated it as a significant 

energy action. Therefore, it does not 

require a Statement of Energy Effects 

under Executive Order 13211. 

Technical Standards 

The National Technology Transfer 

and Advancement Act (NTTAA) (15 

U.S.C. 272 note) directs agencies to use 

voluntary consensus standards in their 

regulatory activities unless the agency 

provides Congress, through the Office of 

Management and Budget, with an 

explanation of why using these 

standards would be inconsistent with 

applicable law or otherwise impractical. 

Voluntary consensus standards are 

technical standards (e.g., specifications 

of materials, performance, design, or 

operation; test methods; sampling 

procedures; and related management 

systems practices) that are developed or 

adopted by voluntary consensus 

standards bodies. 

This proposed rule does not use 

technical standards. Therefore, we did 

not consider the use of voluntary 

consensus standards. 


srobinson on DSKHWCL6B1PROD with PROPOSALS
Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 178 / Wednesday, September 15, 2010 / Proposed Rules 56027 

Environment 

We have analyzed this proposed rule 

under Department of Homeland 

Security Management Directive 023–01 

and Commandant Instruction 

M16475.lD, which guide the Coast 

Guard in complying with the National 

Environmental Policy Act of 1969 

(NEPA) (42 U.S.C. 4321–4370f), and 

have made a preliminary determination 

that this action is one of a category of 

actions that do not individually or 

cumulatively have a significant effect on 

the human environment. A preliminary 

environmental analysis checklist 

supporting this determination is 

available in the docket where indicated 

under ADDRESSES. This proposed rule is 

categorically excluded, under figure 2– 

1, paragraph (34)(h), of this instruction. 

The special local regulation is necessary 

to provide for the safety of the general 

public and event participants from 

potential hazards associated with 

vessels. We seek any comments or 

information that may lead to the 

discovery of a significant environmental 

impact from this proposed rule.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the 

final rules section of this Federal 

Register, EPA is approving the State’s 

SIP submittal as a direct final rule 

without prior proposal because the 

Agency views this as a noncontroversial 

submittal and anticipates no adverse 

comments. A detailed rationale for the 

approval is set forth in the direct final 

rule. If no relevant adverse comments 

are received in response to this action, 

no further activity is contemplated. If 

EPA receives relevant adverse 

comments, the direct final rule will be 

withdrawn and all public comments 

received will be addressed in a 

subsequent final rule based on this 

proposed rule. EPA will not institute a 

second comment period. Any parties 

interested in commenting on this action 

should do so at this time. Please note
