Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 143 / Thursday, July 29, 2021 / Rules and Regulations
applying a label to the affected pool pump motors and the impacts flowing from past labeling efforts. See generally Id. at 13.
On October 5, 2020, DOE published a NOPR proposing to establish a test procedure and an accompanying labeling requirement for DPPP motors.
85 FR 62816. October 2020 NOPR
Specifically, DOE proposed to incorporate by reference UL Standard 100410:2019 Outline of Investigation for Pool Pump Motors UL 1004
10:2019 pertaining to DPPP
definitions and marking requirements;
require the use of CSA C74709
R2014, Energy Efficiency Test Methods for Small Motors CSA

C74709 for testing the energy efficiency of DPPP motors; require the nameplate of a subject DPPP motor 1
to include the full-load efficiency of the motor as determined under the proposed test procedure, and 2 if the DPPP motor is certified to UL1004
10:2019, to include the statement, Certified to UL 100410:2019; require that catalogs and marketing materials include the full-load efficiency of the motor; require manufacturers to notify DOE of the subject DPPP motor models in current production according to the manufacturers model number and whether the motor model is certified to UL 100410:2019; and require
manufacturers to report to DOE the fullload efficiency of the subject DPPP
motor models as determined pursuant to the proposed test procedure.
Additionally, if a DPPP motor model is certified to UL 100410:2019, DOE
proposed to require manufacturers to report the total horsepower and speed configuration of the motor model as provided on the nameplate pursuant to the UL certification. 85 FR 62816, 62820.
DOE received comments in response to the proposed test procedure and labeling requirements in the October 2020 NOPR from the interested parties listed in Table I.1.

In this final rule, DOE is not establishing a labeling requirement.
DOE intends to address labeling separately. DOE may also consider energy conservation standards, but would do so separate from this rulemaking. Comments received specific to labeling or regarding energy conservation standards will be addressed, as appropriate to the extent that DOE addresses either of these issues in a separate notice or notices.
The UL 100410:2019 standard referenced in the October 2020 NOPR
has since been replaced by an American National Standards Institute ANSI
approved 2020 version published on February 28, 2020. This version was ANSI-approved on January 23, 2020 and therefore, the latest version of the standard is UL 100410:2020 Standard for Safety for Pool Pump Motors edition date February 28, 2020.

conservation standards for the DPPP
motors within scope of the test procedure established in this final rule.
In this final rule, DOE establishes subpart Z within 10 CFR part 431, Dedicated-Purpose Pool Pump Motors, which:
Specifies that the test procedure applies to subject DPPP motors i.e., DPPP motors with a total horsepower THP of less than or equal to 5, but does not apply to: i DPPP motors that are polyphase motors capable of operating without a drive and distributed in commerce without a drive that converts single-phase power to polyphase power; ii waterfall pump motors; iii rigid electric spa pump motors, iv storable electric spa pump motors; v integral cartridge-filter pool pump motors, and vi integral sandfilter pool pump motors;
Incorporates by reference UL 1004

Incorporates by reference CSA
C74709 as the energy efficiency test method for DPPP motors.
The effective date for the amended test procedures adopted in this final rule is 30 days after publication of this document in the Federal Register.
DOE notes that the use of the test procedure would not be required for Federal certification or labeling purposes until such time as DOE were to establish a label requirement or standards for DPPP motors, see 42
U.S.C. 6315d; 42 U.S.C. 6316a; 42
U.S.C. 6295s Accordingly, DOE
concludes that this test procedure final rule would not impose added costs for DPPP motor manufacturers. DOE notes that, outside of these contexts, effective 180 days after an applicable test procedure for covered equipment is prescribed, any other representations by manufacturers, distributors, retailers, and private labelers about the energy consumption or cost of energy for these motors must be based on the use of that test procedure. See 42 U.S.C.
