Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 149 / Friday, August 6, 2021 / Proposed Rules
would be required to submit the required certification information to DOE.
9. Dedicated-Purpose Pool Pumps DPPPs are a subset of pumps, which are included in the list of covered equipment for which DOE is authorized to establish and amend energy conservation standards and test procedures. 42 U.S.C. 63111A
DOEs test procedures for DPPPs are currently prescribed at 10 CFR
431.464b and DOEs energy conservation standards for DPPPs are prescribed at 10 CFR 431.465fh. The certification and reporting requirements for DPPPs are set forth in 10 CFR
429.59b2ivv and b3iv.
DOEs test procedure for determining DPPP energy efficiency was established in a final rule published on August 7, 2017. 82 FR 36858 August 2017 Final Rule. The test procedure reflects the consensus of the Appliance Standards Rulemaking Federal Advisory Committee ASRAC negotiated rulemaking working group for DPPPs.
Docket No. EERE2015BTSTD0008, Nos. 51 and 82 The August 2017 Final Rule also included certification and enforcement provisions for DPPPs.
In this NOPR, DOE proposes to clarify the certification reporting requirements for DPPPs in 10 CFR 429.59b2iv and b3iv, in order to resolve potential confusion as to the scope of these provisions.

II. Synopsis of the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking In this NOPR, DOE proposes to update the certification reporting requirements as follows:
1 Align the CFLK certification reporting requirements at 10 CFR 429.33
with the CFLK energy conservation standards relating to: a Efficacy for light sources in CFLKs; b lumen maintenance, lifetime, and rapid cycle stress testing for medium screw base CFLs in CFLKs; c electronic ballasts for pin-based fluorescent lamps in CFLKs; d test sample size; and e kind of lamp.
2 Include rated voltage and lamp diameter for IRLs and initial lumen output for GSILs in certification reports to determine applicable energy conservation standards under the GSIL
and IRL certification reporting requirements at 10 CFR 429.27.
Additionally, for IRLs include CRI in certification reports, an existing minimum energy conservation requirement for these products.
3 Align the ceiling fan certification reporting requirements at 10 CFR 429.32
with existing energy conservation standards established in the January 2017 CF ECS Final Rule and the Energy Act of 2020. Additionally, specify rounding requirements for CFM/W and CFEI. Finally, add a reporting requirement for standby power consumption for small-diameter ceiling fans.
4 Align the consumer furnace and boiler certification reporting requirements at 10 CFR 429.18 with the
existing energy conservation standards by requiring reporting of standby mode and off mode energy consumption for classes with existing standby mode and off mode energy conservation standards, and clarifying that the requirement for certifying the type of ignition system applies to all gas-fired boilers rather than just cast iron sectional gas-fired boilers.
5 Add certification provisions at 10
CFR 429.17 to require water heater manufacturers to report the number of annual shipments of grid-enabled water heaters.
6 Add certification provisions at 10
CFR 429.19 to require dishwasher manufacturers to indicate use of a new detergent formulation that replaces the detergent formulation currently specified, which has been discontinued.
7 Add certification provisions at 10
CFR 429.46 to require CCW
manufacturers to report model characteristics used for determining applicable standards and for conducting product-specific enforcement provisions; and specify rounding instructions for these reported values.
8 Establish an annual filing date in 10 CFR 429.12, by which manufacturers of battery chargers would be required to submit the required certification information to DOE.
9 Clarify the certification reporting requirements in 10 CFR 429.59 for DPPPs.
DOEs current and proposed reporting requirements, as well as the reason for the proposed change, are summarized in Table II.1 of this document.

TABLE II.1SUMMARY OF PROPOSED CHANGES TO CERTIFICATION REPORTING REQUIREMENTS RELATIVE TO CURRENT
CERTIFICATION REPORTING REQUIREMENTS
Current DOE certification reporting requirements
Proposed certification reporting requirements
Attribution
For CFLKs, no reporting requirement for efficacy for a lamp and integrated SSL circuitry.

Add reporting requirement for efficacy in lumens per watt lm/W and for lumen output in lumens to determine the minimum efficacy standard for a lamp and integrated SSL circuitry in a CFLK.
Add reporting requirements to specify the lumen maintenance at 1,000 hours in percent, lumen maintenance at 40 percent of lifetime in percent, number of units passing rapid cycle stress testing, and the lifetime in hours for medium screw base CFLs in a CFLK.
Add reporting requirement to provide a declaration that CFLKs with pin-based sockets for fluorescent lamps have an electronic ballast.

Required to verify whether the information provided is consistent with the certifiers statement of compliance with January 21, 2020 energy conservation standards.
Required to verify whether the information provided is consistent with the certifiers statement of compliance with January 21, 2020 energy conservation standards.

For CFLKs, no reporting requirements for lumen maintenance at 1,000 hours, lumen maintenance at 40 percent of lifetime, the results of rapid cycle stress testing, and lifetime for medium screw base CFLs.

For CFLKs, no reporting requirement specifying that a CFLK with pin-based sockets for fluorescent lamps have an electronic ballast.
For CFLKs, no reporting requirement specifying that a CFLK is packaged with lamps to fill all sockets.

Add reporting requirement to provide a declaration that CFLKs are packaged with lamps to fill all sockets.

For CFLKs, no reporting requirement for lab accreditation.

Add requirement for declaration that lamps packaged with CFLKs were tested by an International Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation ILAC accredited laboratory as required under 10 CFR 430.25.
Add a reporting requirement to provide the test sample size and kind of lamp for each basic model of lamp in the CFLK.

For CFLKs, no reporting requirement for test sample size or kind of lamp for basic model of lamp.
