forces capable of winning wars, 

deterring aggression, and maintaining 

freedom of the seas, consistent with 

Congressional direction in section 5062 

of Title 10 of the U.S. Code. A 

Supplemental EIS/OEIS is considered 

the appropriate document, as there is 

recent scientific information including 

revised acoustic criteria to consider, in 

furtherance of NEPA, relevant to the 

environmental effects of the DoN’s 

Proposed Action. The analysis will 

support Marine Mammal Protection Act 

authorization requests. 

Proposed training and testing 

activities are generally consistent with 

those analyzed in the 2015 Final EIS/ 

OEIS. In the Supplemental EIS/OEIS, 

the DoN will analyze the proposed 

changes to the tempo and types of 

training and testing activities, 

accounting for the introduction of new 

technologies, the evolving nature of 

international events, advances in 

warfighting doctrine and procedures, 

and changes in the organization of 

vessels, aircraft, weapons systems, and 

DoN personnel. In the NWTT 

Supplemental EIS/OEIS, the DoN will 

reflect the compilation of training and 

testing activities required to fulfill the 

DoN’s military readiness requirements 

beyond 2020, and therefore includes the 

analysis of newly proposed activities 

and changes to previously analyzed 

activities. 

In the Supplemental EIS/OEIS, the 

DoN will evaluate the potential 

environmental effects of a no action 

alternative and action alternatives. 

Resources to be evaluated include, but 

are not limited to, marine mammals, sea 

turtles, essential fish habitat, threatened 

and endangered species, and American 

Indian and Alaska Native Traditional 

Resources. 

The scoping process is used to 

identify public concerns and local 

issues to be considered during the 

development of the Draft Supplemental 

EIS/OEIS. Federal agencies, state 

agencies, local agencies, the public, and 

interested persons are encouraged to 

provide substantive comments to the 

DoN on environmental resources and 

issue areas of concern the commenter 

believes the DoN should consider. 

Comments must be postmarked or 

received online by September 21, 2017 

for consideration during the 

development of the Draft Supplemental 

EIS/OEIS. Comments can be mailed to:

Purpose: 

Pursuant to the Energy Policy and 

Conservation Act of 1975 (‘‘EPCA’’ or 

‘‘the Act’’),1 Public Law 94–163 (42 

U.S.C. 6291–6317, as codified), DOE 

regulates the energy efficiency of a 

number of consumer products, and 

commercial and industrial equipment. 

Title III, Part B 2 of EPCA established the 

Energy Conservation Program for 

Consumer Products Other Than 

Automobiles, which sets forth a variety 

of provisions designed to improve 

energy efficiency of covered consumer 

products (‘‘covered products’’). Title III, 

Part C3 of EPCA, added by Public Law 

95–619, Title IV, § 441(a), established 

the Energy Conservation Program for 

Certain Industrial Equipment, which 

sets forth a variety of provisions 

designed to improve energy efficiency of 

covered commercial and industrial 

equipment (collectively referred to as 

‘‘covered equipment’’). 

Covered products and covered 

equipment are described in 10 CFR 

parts 429, 430, and 431. These covered 

products and covered equipment, 

including all product or equipment 

classes, include: (1) Consumer 

refrigerators, refrigerator-freezers and 

freezers; (2) Room air conditioners; (3) 

Central air conditioners and central air 

conditioning heat pumps; (4) Consumer 

water heaters; (5) Consumer furnaces 

and boilers; (6) Dishwashers; (7) 

Residential clothes washers; (8) Clothes 

dryers; (9) Direct heating equipment; 

(10) Cooking products; (11) Pool heaters; 

(12) Television sets; (13) Fluorescent 

lamp ballasts; (14) General service 

fluorescent lamps, general service 

incandescent lamps, and incandescent 

reflector lamps; (15) Faucets; (16) 

Showerheads; (17) Water closets; (18) 

Urinals; (19) Ceiling fans; (20) Ceiling 

fan light kits; (21) Torchieres; (22) 

Compact fluorescent lamps; (23)

supplies; (25) Battery chargers; (26) 

Candelabra base incandescent lamps 

and intermediate base incandescent 

lamps; (27) Commercial warm air 

furnaces; (28) Commercial refrigerators, 

freezers, and refrigerator-freezers; (29) 

Commercial heating and air 

conditioning equipment; (30) 

Commercial water heating equipment; 

(31) Automatic commercial ice makers; 

(32) Commercial clothes washers; (33) 

Distribution transformers; (34) 

Illuminated exit signs; (35) Traffic signal 

modules and pedestrian modules; (36) 

Commercial unit heaters; (37) 

Commercial pre-rinse spray valves; (38) 

Refrigerated bottled or canned beverage 

vending machines; (39) Walk-in coolers 

and walk-in freezers and certain 

components; (40) Metal halide lamp

Under EPCA, DOE’s energy 

conservation program consists 

essentially of four parts: (1) Testing, (2) 

labeling, (3) Federal energy conservation 

standards, and (4) certification and 

enforcement procedures. For consumer 

products, relevant provisions of the Act 

specifically include definitions (42 

U.S.C. 6291), energy conservation 

standards (42 U.S.C. 6295), test 

procedures (42 U.S.C. 6293), labeling 

provisions (42 U.S.C. 6294), and the 

authority to require information and 

reports from manufacturers (42 U.S.C. 

6296). For covered equipment, relevant 

provisions of the Act include definitions 

(42 U.S.C. 6311), energy conservation 

standards (42 U.S.C. 6313), test 

procedures (42 U.S.C. 6314), labeling 

provisions (42 U.S.C. 6315), and the 

authority to require information and 

reports from manufacturers (42 U.S.C. 

6316). 

DOE is seeking to renew its 

information collection related to the 

following aspects of the appliance 

standards program: (1) Gathering data 

and submitting certification and 

compliance reports for each basic model 

distributed in commerce in the U.S. 

including supplemental testing 

instructions for certain commercial 

equipment; (2) maintaining records 

underlying the certified ratings for each 

basic model including test data and the 

associated calculations; (3) applications 

for a test procedure waiver, which 

manufacturers may elect to submit if 

they manufacture a basic model that 

cannot be tested pursuant to the DOE 

test procedure; (4) applications 

requesting an extension of the date by 

which representations must be made in 

accordance with any new or amended 

DOE test procedure; and (5) labeling. 

DOE’s certification and compliance 

activities ensure accurate and 

comprehensive information about the 

energy and water use characteristics of 

covered products and covered 

equipment sold in the United States. 

Manufacturers of all covered products 

and covered equipment must submit a 

certification report before a basic model 

is distributed in commerce, annually 

thereafter, and if the basic model is 

redesigned in such a manner to increase 

the consumption or decrease the 

efficiency of the basic model such that 

the certified rating is no longer 

supported by the test data. Additionally, 

manufacturers must report when 

production of a basic model has ceased 

and is no longer offered for sale as part 

of the next annual certification report 

following such cessation. DOE requires 

the manufacturer of any covered 

product or covered equipment to 

establish, maintain, and retain the 

records of certification reports, of the 

underlying test data for all certification 

testing, and of any other testing 

conducted to satisfy the requirements of 

part 429, part 430, and/or part 431. 

Certification reports provide DOE and 

consumers with comprehensive, up-todate efficiency information and support 

effective enforcement. 

As the result of a negotiated 

rulemaking, DOE adopted additional 

certification requirements for 

commercial HVAC, water heater, and 

refrigeration equipment. Specifically, 

DOE requires manufacturers of 

commercial refrigeration equipment and 

some types of commercial HVAC 


sradovich on DSK3GMQ082PROD with NOTICES
39782 Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 161 / Tuesday, August 22, 2017 / Notices 

equipment to submit a PDF with 

specific testing instructions to be used 

by the Department during verification 

and enforcement testing. Manufacturers 

of commercial water heating equipment 

and some types of commercial HVAC 

equipment have the option of 

submitting a PDF with additional testing 

instructions at the manufacturer’s 

discretion. For additional information 

on the negotiated rulemaking or 

supplemental testing instructions see 

docket number EERE–2013–BT–NOC– 

0023. 

On December 18, 2014, Congress 

enacted the EPS Service Parts Act of 

2014 (Pub. L. 113–263, ‘‘Service Parts 

Act’’). That law exempted 

manufacturers of certain external power 

supplies (‘‘EPSs’’) that were made 

available as service and spare parts for 

end-use products manufactured before 

February 10, 2016, from the energy 

conservation standards that DOE 

promulgated in its February 2014 rule. 

See 79 FR 7846 (Feb. 10, 2014). 

Additionally, the Service Parts Act 

permits DOE to require manufacturers of 

an EPS that is exempt from the 2016 

standards to report to DOE the total 

number of such EPS units that are 

shipped annually as service and spare 

parts and that do not meet those 

standards. (42 U.S.C. 6295(u)(5)(A)(ii)) 

DOE may also limit the applicability of 

the exemption if the Secretary 

determines that the exemption is 

resulting in a significant reduction of 

the energy savings that would result in 

the absence of the exemption. (42 U.S.C. 

6295(u)(5)(A)(iii)) In a final rule 

published on May 16, 2016, DOE 

adopted reporting requirements for EPS 

manufacturers to provide the total 

number of exempt EPS units sold as 

service and spare parts for which the 

manufacturer is claiming exemption 

from the current standards. 81 FR 

30157. 

DOE currently requires manufacturers 

or their party representatives to prepare 

and submit certification reports and 

compliance statements using DOE’s 

electronic Web-based tool, the 

Compliance and Certification 

Management System (CCMS), which is 

the primary mechanism for submitting 

certification reports to DOE. CCMS 

currently has product and equipment 

specific templates which manufacturers 

are required to use when submitting 

certification data to DOE. DOE believes 

the availability of electronic filing 

through the CCMS system reduces 

reporting burdens, streamlines the 

process, and provides the Department 

with needed information in a 

standardized, more accessible form. 

This electronic filing system also 

ensures that records are recorded in a 

permanent, systematic way. 

Manufacturers also may rely on CCMS 

reporting to satisfy certain reporting 

requirements established by the Federal 

Trade Commission (‘‘FTC’’). EPCA 

directs the FTC generally to prescribe 

labeling rules for the consumer products 

subject to energy conservation standards 

under EPCA. (42 U.S.C. 6296) The 

required labels generally must disclose 

the estimated annual operating cost of 

such product (determined in accordance 

with Federal test procedures); and 

information respecting the range of 

estimated annual operating costs for 

covered products to which the rule 

applies. (42 U.S.C 6296(c)(1)) Pursuant 

to EPCA, the FTC prescribed the Energy 

Labeling Rule, which in part, requires 

manufacturers to attach yellow 

EnergyGuide labels to many of the 

covered consumer products. See 16 CFR 

part 305. EnergyGuide labels for most 

products subject to the FTC labeling 

requirement contain three key 

disclosures: Estimated annual energy 

cost (16 CFR 305.5); a product’s energy 

consumption or energy efficiency rating 

as determined from DOE test procedures 

(Id.); and a comparability range 

displaying the highest and lowest 

energy costs or efficiency ratings for all 

similar models (16 CFR 305.10). 

The Energy Labeling Rule also 

contains reporting requirements for 

most products, under which 

manufacturers must submit data to the 

FTC both when they begin 

manufacturing new models and on an 

annual basis thereafter. 16 CFR 305.8. 

These reports must contain, among 

other things, estimated annual energy 

consumption or energy efficiency 

ratings, similar to what is required 

under DOE’s reporting requirement. Id. 

Prior to 2013, FTC collected energy data 

on products subject to the Energy 

Labeling Rule separate from DOE 

through paper and email submissions to 

the FTC. This arrangement required 

manufacturers to submit nearly 

duplicative reports to DOE and FTC. 

However, in 2013 the FTC 

streamlined and harmonized its 

reporting requirements by giving 

manufacturers the option to report FTCrequired data through DOE’s CCMS, in 

lieu of the traditional practice of 

submitting directly to FTC. 78 FR 2200 

(Jan. 10, 2013); 16 CFR 305.8(a)(1). As 

such, the CCMS reduces duplicative 

reporting for manufacturers of covered 

consumer products that are also 

required to report under the FTC Energy 

Label Rule. 

DOE allows manufacturers of both 

consumer products and/or commercial 

equipment to apply for a test procedure 

waiver. Manufacturers may submit an 

application for a test procedure waiver 

at his or her discretion if it is 

determined that the basic model for 

which the petition for waiver was 

submitted contains one or more design 

characteristics that prevents testing of 

the basic model according to the 

prescribed test procedures, or if the 

prescribed test procedures may evaluate 

the basic model in a manner so 

unrepresentative of its true energy 

consumption characteristics as to 

provide materially inaccurate 

comparative data. The Department 

currently uses and will continue to use 

the information submitted in the 

application for a waiver as the basis for 

granting or denying the petition. See 10 

CFR 430.27 for additional information 

on petitions for waivers and for 

consumer products. See 10 CFR 431.401 

for additional information on petitions 

for waivers for commercial equipment. 

DOE also allows manufacturers of 

both consumer products and/or 

commercial equipment to submit 

applications requesting an extension of 

the date by which representations must 

be made in accordance with any new or 

amended DOE test procedure. DOE may 

grant extensions of up to 180 days if it 

determines that making such 

representations would impose an undue 

hardship on the petitioner. The 

Department currently uses and will 

continue to use the information 

submitted in these applications as the 

basis for granting or denying the 

petition. 

In addition to the FTC labeling 

requirements for consumer products 

discussed, EPCA directs DOE to 

establish labeling requirements for 

covered industrial and commercial 

equipment when specified criteria is 

met. If the Department has prescribed 

test procedures for any class of covered 

equipment, a labeling rule applicable to 

such class of covered equipment must 

be prescribed. (42 U.S.C. 6315(a)) EPCA, 

however, requires that certain criteria 

must be met prior to DOE prescribing a 

given labeling rule. Specifically, DOE 

must determine that: (1) Labeling is 

technologically and economically 

feasible with respect to any particular 

equipment class; (2) significant energy 

savings will likely result from such 

labeling; and (3) labeling is likely to 

assist consumers in making purchasing 

decisions. (42 U.S.C. 6315(h)) DOE has 

established labeling requirements under 

the authority in 42 U.S.C. 6315 for 

electric motors (10 CFR 431.31), walk-in 

coolers and freezers (10 CFR 431.305), 

and pumps (10 CFR 431.466). 

(4) Proposed changes to the 

information collection, including 


sradovich on DSK3GMQ082PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 161 / Tuesday, August 22, 2017 / Notices 39783 

description of additional information 

that would be collected. 

DOE is considering revisions to the 

CCMS that would facilitate a reduction 

in duplicative reporting under the 

California’s Appliance Efficiency 

Regulations, similar to what was 

achieved with the FTC. Under its 

Appliance Efficiency Regulations, 

California requires manufacturers to 

certify and report to the California 

Energy Commission energy efficiency 

data of certain consumer products. See, 

California Code of Regulations (CCR), 

Title 20, section 1606. For consumer 

products that are reported to the 

California Energy Commission and are 

subject to Federal test procedures, the 

California regulations generally require 

submission of data from those Federal 

test procedures (i.e., the same data 

reported to DOE). DOE is considering 

adding fields to the CCMS that would 

allow the California Energy Commission 

to accept a CCMS report in satisfaction 

of the state reporting requirement. 

Submission of the additional 

information would not be mandatory 

(from DOE’s perspective) and would 

consist of information that 

manufacturers are already submitting to 

the California Energy Commission. 

Should the California Energy 

Commission choose to streamline and 

harmonize its reporting requirements by 

giving manufacturers the option to 

report California-required data through 

DOE’s CCMS, use of CCMS would 

reduce duplicative reporting between 

the California and DOE requirements. 

(5) Annual Estimated Number of 

Respondents: 2000; 

(6) Annual Estimated Number of Total 

Responses: 20,000; 

(7) Annual Estimated Number of 

Burden Hours: 675,000 (30 hours per
