[Case No. CR–006]

Notice of Petition for Waiver of AHT
Cooling Systems GmbH and AHT
Cooling Systems USA Inc. From the
Department of Energy Commercial
Refrigerator, Freezer, and RefrigeratorFreezer Test Procedures and Partial
Granting of an Interim Waiver;
Withdrawal
Office of Energy Efficiency and
Renewable Energy, Department of

ACTION: Notice of petition for waiver,
partial granting of an interim waiver,
and request for public comment;
withdrawal.
AGENCY:

The U.S. Department of
Energy (DOE) is withdrawing its notice
of petition for waiver, partial granting of
an interim waiver, and request for
public comment for AHT Cooling
Systems GmbH and AHT Cooling
Systems USA Inc. (‘‘AHT’’) from the
commercial refrigerator, freezer, and
refrigerator-freezer (‘‘CRE’’) test
procedures. The notice published on
March 28, 2017, included an error in the
calculations to determine daily energy
consumption in the alternate test
procedure and omitted a step needed to
accurately capture the entire defrost
energy contribution. Therefore, DOE is
withdrawing the notice in its entirety
and will republish the notice with
corrected calculations and associated
discussion.

SUMMARY:

The notice published at 82 FR
15345 on March 28, 2017, is withdrawn
as of April 12, 2017.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: DOE is
withdrawing its notice of petition for
waiver, partial granting of an interim
waiver, and request for public comment
for AHT from the CRE test procedures.
The notice published on March 28,
2017, included an error in the
calculations to determine daily energy

consumption in the alternate test
procedure. 82 FR 15345, 15348.
Specifically, the notice included an
error in the calculation of tDS, the sum
of defrost time per week. The notice
incorrectly showed that value calculated
as the duration of one defrost cycle
divided by the maximum number of
defrosts per week. The correct
calculation would be the duration of
one defrost cycle multiplied by the
maximum number of defrosts per week.
In addition, the notice omitted the test
methodology instructions to capture the
entire defrost operation. As published,
the test period would only capture the
defrost itself and not any pre-cooling or
temperature recovery periods that
would use more energy along with the
defrost.
Because of this error and omission,
DOE is withdrawing the March 28,
2017, notice in its entirety and will
republish the notice to correct the error.
While DOE works to expeditiously
correct and republish the interim
waiver, AHT’s original application will
be considered pending and DOE’s
enforcement policy on test procedure
waivers will apply.1

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This
information collection request contains:
(1) OMB No. 1910–5173; (2) Information
Collection Request Title: The American
Assured Supply Program; (3) Type of
Request: Renewal; (4) Purpose: DOE
created the American Assured Fuel
Supply (AFS), a reserve of low enriched
uranium (LEU) to serve as backup fuel
supply for foreign recipients to be
supplied through U.S. persons or for
domestic recipients, in the event of fuel
supply disruption. DOE is committed to
making the AFS available to eligible
recipients in the case of supply
disruptions in the nuclear fuel market.
This effort supports the United States
Government’s nuclear nonproliferation
objectives by supporting civilian
nuclear energy development while
minimizing proliferation risks. DOE
published a Notice of Availability for
AFS on August 18, 2011, and published
an application on December 2, 2013, in
the Federal Register to standardize the
information that must be provided in a
request to access the material in the AFS

76 FR 51357, 51358. This application
form is necessary in order for DOE to
identify if applicants meet basic
requirements for use of the AFS and
implement this important
nonproliferation initiative; (5) Annual
Estimated Number of Respondents: 10;
(6) Annual Estimated Number of Total
Responses: 10; (7) Annual Estimated
Number of Burden Hours: 8; (8) Annual
Estimated Reporting and Recordkeeping
Cost Burden: $1,800.
Statutory Authority: The Secretary of
Energy is authorized pursuant to the
Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended
(Pub. L. 83–703), and the Nuclear NonProliferation Act of 1978 (NNPA) (Pub.
L. 95–242) to encourage the widespread
use of atomic energy for peaceful
purposes, and to cooperate with other
nations by distributing nuclear material
where appropriate safeguards measures
are in place to ensure the material is
properly controlled and used for
peaceful purposes. In 2005, DOE set
aside a portion of its LEU inventory to
be used to support the International
Atomic Energy Agency’s (IAEA)
International Nuclear Fuel Bank (INFB)
initiative, which is envisioned as an
LEU reserve that will be administered
by the IAEA and that will serve as a
back-up for global supply disruptions.
Congress later appropriated $49,540,000
in the Consolidated Appropriations Act,
2008 (Pub. L. 110–161) to fund a portion
of the INFB. Congress, in the
Explanatory Statement accompanying
the House Appropriations Committee
Print (which in the Act was given the
same effect as a joint explanatory
statement), noted that the INFB freed up
DOE’s LEU set-aside, and recommended
DOE also ‘‘allow U.S. interests to
purchase uranium fuel from the Reliable
Fuel Supply [now the AFS] in the event
of supply disruption.’’ (H. Approp.
Cmte. Print at 592.)
The sale of LEU from the AFS will be
conducted consistent with applicable
law, the policies and guidance in the
‘‘Secretary of Energy’s 2008 Policy
Statement of Management of the
Department of Energy’s Excess Uranium
Inventory’’ (March 11, 2008), and the
DOE Excess Uranium Inventory
Management Plan.

will be conducted in Docket No. CP17–
101–000, as noted in the caption of the
Notice.
Pursuant to section 157.9 of the
Commission’s rules (18 CFR 157.9),
within 90 days of this Notice, the
Commission staff will issue a Notice of
Schedule for Environmental Review. If
a Notice of Schedule for Environmental
Review is issued, it will indicate, among
other milestones, the anticipated date
for the Commission staff’s issuance of
the final environmental impact
statement (FEIS) for this proposal. The
issuance of a Notice of Schedule for
Environmental Review will serve to
notify federal and state agencies of the
timing for the completion of all
necessary reviews, and the subsequent
need to complete all federal
authorizations within 90 days of the
date of issuance of the Commission
staff’s FEIS.
There are two ways to become
involved in the Commission’s review of
this project. First, any person wishing to
obtain legal status by becoming a party
to the proceedings for this project
should, on or before the comment date
stated below file with the Federal
Energy Regulatory Commission, 888
First Street NE., Washington, DC 20426,
a motion to intervene in accordance
with the requirements of the
Commission’s Rules of Practice and
Procedure (18 CFR 385.214 or 385.211)
and the Regulations under the NGA (18
CFR 157.10). A person obtaining party
status will be placed on the service list
maintained by the Secretary of the
Commission and will receive copies of
all documents filed by the applicant and
by all other parties. A party must submit
seven copies of filings made in the
proceeding with the Commission and
must mail a copy to the applicant and
to every other party. Only parties to the
proceeding can ask for court review of
Commission orders in the proceeding.
However, a person does not have to
intervene in order to have comments
considered. The second way to
participate is by filing with the
Secretary of the Commission, as soon as
possible, an original and two copies of
comments in support of or in opposition
to this project. The Commission will
consider these comments in
determining the appropriate action to be
taken, but the filing of a comment alone
will not serve to make the filer a party
to the proceeding. The Commission’s
rules require that persons filing
comments in opposition to the project
provide copies of their protests only to
the party or parties directly involved in
the protest.
Persons who wish to comment only
on the environmental review of this
