mission applications, and
communicating in a contested
environment. The SAB will receive a
presentation on the mission of Air Force
Global Strike Command, the host for the
SAB’s Spring Board Meeting. This board
meeting will also include the
publication status of the FY12 studies,
the latest updates on the ongoing study
outbriefs, as well as discussion of the
SAB’s review of Air Force Research
Laboratory (AFRL) science and
technology investments. The remaining
FY13 Board schedule and internal
restructuring options will also be
discussed.

DOE gives
notice of the issuance of its decision and
order as set forth below. The decision
and order grants LG a waiver from the
applicable residential refrigerator and
refrigerator-freezer test procedures
found in 10 CFR part 430, subpart B,
appendix A1 for certain basic models of
refrigerator-freezers with dual
compressors, provided that LG tests and
rates such products using the alternate
test procedure described in this notice.
Today’s decision prohibits LG from
making representations concerning the
energy efficiency of these products
unless the product has been tested
consistent with the provisions and
restrictions in the alternate test
procedure set forth in the decision and
order below, and the representations
fairly disclose the test results.
Distributors, retailers, and private
labelers are held to the same standard
when making representations regarding
the energy efficiency of these products.

Title III, Part B of the Energy Policy
and Conservation Act of 1975 (EPCA),
Public Law 94–163 (42 U.S.C. 6291–

energy use, or estimated operating costs,
and that are not unduly burdensome to
conduct. (42 U.S.C. 6293(b)(3)) The test
procedure for residential electric
refrigerators and refrigerator-freezers is
set forth in 10 CFR part 430, subpart B,
