Confidential Business Information.
Pursuant to 10 CFR 1004.11, any person submitting information that he or she believes to be confidential and exempt by law from public disclosure should submit via email, postal mail, or hand delivery/courier two well-marked copies: One copy of the document marked confidential including all the information believed to be confidential, and one copy of the document marked non-confidential with the information believed to be confidential deleted.
Submit these documents via email or on a CD, if feasible. DOE will make its own determination about the confidential status of the information and treat it according to its determination.
It is DOEs policy that all comments may be included in the public docket, without change and as received, including any personal information provided in the comments except information deemed to be exempt from public disclosure.
C. Issues on Which DOE Seeks Comment Although DOE welcomes comments on any aspect of this proposal, DOE is particularly interested in receiving comments and views of interested parties concerning the following issues:
1 DOE seeks comment on the proposed definition of circulating air for the purpose of the ceiling fan definition. Specifically, DOE requests comment on the use of a diameter-to-maximum operating speed ratio to distinguish fans with circulating airflow from directional airflow, and the appropriateness of using 0.06 in/RPM as the threshold ratio. If another ratio should be considered, DOE requests additional data to corroborate that ratio.
2 DOE seeks comment on the characterization of fans that would fall below the 0.06 in/RPM threshold ratio, such as certain high-speed VSD ceiling fans that do not also meet the definition of an LSSD fan.
Specifically, DOE request comment on the appropriateness of excluding high-speed VSD
ceiling fans from scope of ceiling fans.
3 DOE seeks comment regarding whether circulating air should be defined within the definition of ceiling fan at 10 CFR 430.2, as DOE has proposed, or if circulating air should be defined separately within appendix U.
4 DOE seeks comment on its proposal to remove the 24-foot blade span limit in section 3.4.1 of appendix U, which would expand the scope of the test procedure for LDCFs to ceiling fans with blade span larger than 24 feet.
