Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 149 / Friday, August 6, 2021 / Proposed Rules d. Basic Model, Lamp Type, and Sample Size Requirements
value of efficacy be rounded to the nearest tenth.

In this NOPR, DOE is also proposing certain certification reporting requirements for CFLKs to provide further specificity as to what is required to be reported. DOE is proposing to add language in 10 CFR 429.33b stating that manufacturers must provide certification values for each basic model of lamp included in the basic model of CFLK under test. This will allow DOE
to use the appropriate certification values to verify whether the information provided is consistent with the certifiers statement of compliance with January 21, 2020 standards. If the same basic model of lamp is used in multiple CFLK basic models, manufacturers may use the same set of test data for that basic model of lamp to show compliance for each CFLK basic model in which it is included.
DOE is also proposing manufacturers provide the test sample size and kind of lamp for each basic model of a lamp and/or each basic model of integrated SSL circuitry packaged with a basic model of CFLK. Because pin-based socket fluorescent lamps and mediumbased socket CFLs in CFLKs are lamp types subject to additional standards, the lamp type of the basic model in the CFLK is necessary to determine which product class the basic model falls into.
Additionally, DOE is proposing that manufacturers provide, if applicable, a declaration that each basic model of lamp packaged with the basic model of CFLK was tested by an ILAC accredited laboratory. Lamps identified in 10 CFR
430.25 must be tested by laboratories with these accreditation requirements, and this declaration will allow DOE to verify whether the information provided is consistent with the certifiers statement of compliance with this requirement. DOE seeks comment on the other proposed amendments to the certification reporting requirements.

e. Rounding Requirements DOE is proposing rounding requirements for the certification reporting requirements proposed in this notice. DOE is proposing that lumen output be rounded to three significant digits; lumen maintenance at 1,000
hours and at 40 percent of lifetime be rounded to the nearest tenth of a percent; and lifetime be rounded to the nearest whole hour. Currently, DOE
specifies that any represented value of initial lamp efficacy, system efficacy or luminaire efficacy be rounded to the nearest tenth. DOE is proposing to simplify this to state any represented

In this NOPR, DOE proposes to align CFLK certification reporting requirements with the energy conservation standard requirements applicable to CFLKs manufactured on and after January 21, 2020.
For CFLKs with sockets for medium screw base lamps, manufacturers currently report two values i.e., efficacy, wattage, but would report four to nine values e.g., efficacy, lumen output, test sample size, kind of lamp, a declaration of ILAC accreditation, lumen maintenance at 40 percent of lifetime, lumen maintenance at 1,000
hours, lifetime, units passing rapid cycle stress test, depending on the kind of lamps packaged with the CFLK, if the proposed amendments are adopted. For CFLKs with pin-based sockets for fluorescent lamps, manufacturers currently report three values i.e., efficacy, wattage, length of lamp and would report five values i.e., efficacy, lumen output, test sample size, kind of lamp, and a declaration of ILAC
accreditation, if the proposed amendments are adopted. For CFLKs with lamps of other socket types, manufacturers currently report two values i.e., wattage, number of individual sockets, but would report five values i.e., efficacy, lumen output, test sample size, kind of lamp, and a declaration of ILAC accreditation, if the proposed amendments are adopted.
DOE has tentatively determined that these proposed amendments would not impose additional costs for manufacturers because manufacturers of CFLKs are already submitting certification reports to DOE and should have readily available the information that DOE is proposing to collect as part of this rulemaking. DOE does not believe the revised reporting requirements will cause any measurable change in reporting burden or hours as compared to what CFLK manufacturers are currently doing today. DOE requests comment on the certification reporting costs of the amendments proposed for CFLKs.
B. GSILs and IRLs 1. Scope of Applicability This NOPR applies to GSILs and IRLs.
DOE defines GSILs as a standard incandescent or halogen type lamp intended for general service applications; has a medium screw base;
has a lumen range between 3102600
lumens or, in the case of a modified spectrum lamp, between 2321,950

Frm 00010

Fmt 4702

Sfmt 4702

lumens; and is capable of being operated at a voltage range at least partially within 110130 volts. The GSIL definition does not include certain lamp types see 10 CFR 430.2. 10 CFR
430.2. DOE defines IRLs as any lamp in which light is produced by a filament heated to incandescence by an electric current; contains an inner reflective coating on the outer bulb to direct the light; is not colored; is not designed for rough or vibration service applications;
is not an R20 short lamp; has an R, PAR, ER, BR, BPAR,11 or similar bulb shapes with an E26 medium screw base; has a rated voltage or voltage range that lies at least partially in the range of 115130
volts; has a diameter that exceeds 2.25
inches; and has a rated wattage that is 40 watts or higher. 10 CFR 430.2.
2. Reporting Under the existing requirements in 10
CFR 429.27b2ii for IRLs manufacturers must report: 1 The testing laboratorys International Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation ILAC accreditation bodys identification number or other approved identification assigned by the ILAC
accreditation body; 2 production dates of the units tested; 3 the 12-month average lamp efficacy in lumens per watt lm/W, and 4 lamp wattage W.
EISA 2007 established a CRI
requirement for IRLs.12 In the June 2021
NOPR, DOE is proposing to include a test method for determining CRI of IRLs.
86 FR 29888, 29902. To verify whether the information provided is consistent with the certifiers statement of compliance with standards, DOE is proposing to require the reporting of CRI
for IRLs. Additionally, for IRLs DOE is proposing to require the reporting of rated voltage and lamp diameter.
Because rated voltage and lamp diameter are used to determine the applicable energy conservation standards for IRLs, collecting this information helps DOE evaluate whether a basic model meets the appropriate energy conservation standard requirements see 10 CFR
430.32n6. DOE is proposing to add rated voltage, lamp diameter and CRI for IRLs only for annual filing certification 11 Reflector R, parabolic aluminized reflector PAR, elliptical reflector ER, bulged reflector BR, bulged parabolic aluminized reflector BPAR.
12 Section 321a of EISA 2007 established CRI
requirements for lamps that are intended for a general service or general illumination application whether incandescent or not; have a medium screw base or any other screw base not defined in ANSI C81.612006; are capable of being operated at a voltage at least partially within the range of 110
to 130 volts; and are manufactured or imported after December 31, 2011.
