Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 167 / Wednesday, September 1, 2021 / Proposed Rules
E If DOE uses a different test cloth lot than was used by the manufacturer for testing and certifying the basic model:
1 If the difference between the tested units measured RMC value or average RMC value pursuant to paragraph c1iiD of this section and the certified RMC value of the basic model is less than or equal to three RMC
percentage points, then the certified RMC value of the basic model may be considered the tested units final RMC
value.
2 If the tested units measured RMC
value or average RMC value pursuant to paragraph c1iiD of this section is more than three RMC percentage points higher than the certified RMC value of the basic model, then a value three RMC
percentage points less than the measured RMC value may be considered the tested units final RMC value.

i When using appendix J see the note at the beginning of appendix J, A When electrically heated water is used, N MET + HET + ETLP CKWH
Where:
N = the representative average residential clothes washer use of 234 cycles per year according to appendix J, MET = the total weighted per-cycle machine electrical energy consumption, in kilowatt-hours per cycle, determined according to section 4.1.6 of appendix J, HET = the total weighted per-cycle hot water energy consumption using an electrical water heater, in kilowatt-hours per cycle, determined according to section 4.1.3 of appendix J, ETLP = the per-cycle combined low-power mode energy consumption, in kilowatthours per cycle, determined according to section 4.6.2 of appendix J, and CKWH = the representative average unit cost, in dollars per kilowatt-hour, as provided by the Secretary.

B When gas-heated or oil-heated water is used, N MET + ETLP CKWH + HETG
CBTU
Where:
N, MET, ETLP, and CKWH are defined in paragraph j1iA of this section, HETG = the total per-cycle hot water energy consumption using gas-heated or oilheated water, in Btu per cycle, determined according to section 4.1.4 of appendix J, and CBTU = the representative average unit cost, in dollars per Btu for oil or gas, as appropriate, as provided by the Secretary.

ii When using appendix J2 see the note at the beginning of appendix J2, A When electrically heated water is used N2 ETE2 + ETLP2 CKWH

N2 = the representative average residential clothes washer use of 295 cycles per year according to appendix J2, ETE2 = the total per-cycle energy consumption when electrically heated water is used, in kilowatt-hours per cycle, determined according to section 4.1.7 of appendix J2, ETLP2 = the per-cycle combined low-power mode energy consumption, in kilowatthours per cycle, determined according to section 4.4 of appendix J2, and CKWH = the representative average unit cost, in dollars per kilowatt-hour, as provided by the Secretary.

B When gas-heated or oil-heated water is used, N2 MET2 + ETLP2 CKWH + HETG2
CBTU
Where:
N2, ETLP2, and CKWH are defined in j1iiA
of this section, MET2 = the total weighted per-cycle machine electrical energy consumption, in kilowatt-hours per cycle, determined according to section 4.1.6 of appendix J2, HETG2 = the total per-cycle hot water energy consumption using gas-heated or oilheated water, in Btu per cycle, determined according to section 4.1.4 of appendix J2, and CBTU = the representative average unit cost, in dollars per Btu for oil or gas, as appropriate, as provided by the Secretary.

ii The energy efficiency ratio for automatic and semi-automatic clothes washers is determined according to section 4.9 of appendix J when using appendix J. The result shall be rounded off to the nearest 0.1 pound per kilowatt-hour per cycle.
3
i When using appendix J, the product of the representative averageuse of 234 cycles per year and the total weighted per-cycle water consumption in gallons per cycle determined according to section 4.2.4 of appendix J.

4i The integrated water factor must be determined according to section 4.2.12 of appendix J2, with the result rounded to the nearest 0.1 gallons per cycle per cubic foot.
ii The water efficiency ratio for automatic and semi-automatic clothes washers is determined according to section 4.7 of appendix J when using appendix J. The result shall be rounded off to the nearest 0.1 pound per gallon per cycle.
5 Other useful measures of energy consumption for automatic or semiautomatic clothes washers shall be those measures of energy consumption that the Secretary determines are likely to assist consumers in making purchasing decisions and that are derived from the
