SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On October 15, 2020, FOTILE filed a petition for waiver and interim waiver from the test procedure for dishwashers set forth at Appendix C1.1 In its petition for waiver, FOTILE stated that the subject dishwasher models, which FOTILE described as in-sink dishwashers, do not have a main detergent compartment and have different installation instructions than under-counter or under-sink dishwashers. FOTILE has requested DOE waive sections of the dishwasher test procedure pertaining to installation requirements and placement of the detergent. FOTILE has suggested an alternate test procedure to install the dishwasher basic models from the top of a rectangular enclosure as opposed to the front and to specify placement of the detergent directly into the dishwasher chamber.
DOE has reviewed FOTILEs application for an interim waiver and the alternate test procedure requested by FOTILE. DOE also reviewed manufacturer information available on1 The
specific basic models for which the petition applies are dishwasher basic models SD2FP1X and SD2FP1XL. These basic model names were provided by FOTILE in its October 15, 2020
petition.

line, including the operation manual 2
for the specified basic models. Based on this review, the suggested alternate test procedure appears to allow for the accurate measurement of the energy and water consumption of the specified basic models, while alleviating the testing problems associated with FOTILEs implementation of dishwasher testing for these basic models.
Consequently, DOE has determined that FOTILEs petition for waiver likely will be granted. Furthermore, DOE has determined that it is desirable for public policy reasons to grant FOTILE
immediate relief pending a determination of the petition for waiver.
DOE notes, however, that FOTILEs alternate test procedure specifies a test enclosure that differs from the installation instructions provided in the operation manual. Specifically, the alternate test procedure retains a requirement in Section 2.1 that the enclosure be brought into the closest contact with the appliance that the configuration of the dishwasher will allow. In the case of FOTILEs basic model, this would include close contact between the bottom of the enclosure and the underside of the in-sink dishwasher.
Because the height of the product is 21516 inches 541 millimeters mm, such proximity and resulting height of the test enclosure close to that value would conflict with the installation instructions in the operation manual, which specify a minimum enclosure height of 35716 inches 900 mm, and may potentially result in differing heat losses from the dishwasher that could impact energy consumption during the cycle. DOE requests comment on any such potential impacts on energy consumption as a result of the test enclosure specifications in the alternate test procedure, and on whether installation should be required in accordance with the operation manual to provide results that are more representative of average use.
DOE is publishing FOTILEs petition for waiver in its entirety, pursuant to 10
CFR 430.27b1iv.3 DOE invites all interested parties to submit in writing by March 10, 2021, comments and information on all aspects of the petition, including the alternate test procedure. Pursuant to 10 CFR
430.27d, any person submitting written comments to DOE must also send a copy of such comments to the petitioner. The contact information for 2 The operation manual can be found in the docket at https www.regulations.gov/
