SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background and Authority

    Title III of the Energy Policy and Conservation Act sets forth a 
variety of provisions concerning energy efficiency. Part A of Title III 
provides for the ``Energy Conservation Program for Consumer Products 
Other Than Automobiles.'' (42 U.S.C. 6291-6309) Part A includes 
definitions, test procedures, labeling provisions, energy conservation 
standards, and the authority to require information and reports from 
manufacturers. Further, Part A authorizes the Secretary of Energy to 
prescribe test procedures that are reasonably designed to produce 
results that measure energy efficiency, 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 refrigerators and 
refrigerator-freezers is contained in 10 CFR part 430, subpart B, 
appendix A1.
    The regulations set forth in 10 CFR 430.27 contain provisions that 
enable a person to seek a waiver from the test procedure requirements 
for covered consumer products. A waiver will be granted by the 
Assistant Secretary for Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (the 
Assistant Secretary) if it is determined that the basic model for which 
the petition for waiver was submitted contains one or more design 
characteristics that prevents testing of the basic model according to 
the prescribed test procedures, or if the prescribed test procedures 
may evaluate the basic model in a manner so unrepresentative of its 
true energy consumption characteristics as to provide materially 
inaccurate comparative data. 10 CFR 430.27(l). Petitioners must include 
in their petition any alternate test procedures known to the petitioner 
to evaluate the basic model in a manner representative of its energy 
consumption. 10 CFR 430.27(b)(1)(iii). The Assistant Secretary may 
grant the waiver subject to conditions, including adherence to 
alternate test procedures. 10 CFR 430.27(l). Waivers remain in effect 
pursuant to the provisions of 10 CFR 430.27(m).
    The waiver process also allows the Assistant Secretary to grant an 
interim waiver from test procedure requirements to manufacturers that 
have petitioned DOE for a waiver of such prescribed test procedures. 
(10 CFR

[[Page 34727]]

430.27(a)(2); 430.27(g)) An interim waiver remains in effect for a 
period of 180 days or until DOE issues its determination on the 
petition for waiver, whichever is sooner, and may be extended for an 
additionally 180 days, if necessary. (10 CFR 430.27(h))

II. Petition for Waiver of Test Procedure

    On April 20, 2010, LG filed a petition for waiver from the test 
procedure applicable to residential electric refrigerators and 
refrigerator-freezers set forth in 10 CFR part 430, subpart B, appendix 
A1. LG is designing new refrigerators and refrigerator-freezers that 
contain variable anti-sweat heater controls that detect a broad range 
of temperature and humidity conditions, and respond by activating 
adaptive heaters, as needed, to evaporate excess moisture. LG's 
technology is similar to that used by General Electric Company (GE), 
Whirlpool Corporation (Whirlpool), Electrolux, Haier and Samsung 
Electronics America, Inc. (Samsung). The GE, Whirlpool and Electrolux 
waivers were granted February 27, 2008 (73 FR 10425), May 5, 2009 (74 
FR 20695), and December 15, 2009 (74 FR 66338), respectively. DOE 
granted an interim waiver to Haier on March 11, 2010 (75 FR 11522) and 
to Samsung on April 16, 2010 (75 FR 1959).
    In its petition, LG seeks a waiver from the existing DOE test 
procedure applicable to refrigerators and refrigerator-freezers under 
10 CFR part 430 because the existing test procedure takes neither 
ambient humidity nor adaptive technology into account. Therefore, LG 
states that the test procedure does not accurately measure the energy 
consumption of LG's new refrigerators and refrigerator-freezers that 
feature variable anti-sweat heater controls and adaptive heaters. 
Consequently, LG has submitted to DOE for approval an alternate test 
procedure that would allow it to correctly calculate the energy 
consumption of this new product line. LG's alternate test procedure is 
the same in all relevant particulars as that prescribed for other 
manufacturers for refrigerators and refrigerator-freezers that are 
equipped with the same type of technology. The alternate test procedure 
applicable to these products simulates the energy used by the adaptive 
heaters in a typical consumer household, as explained in the decision 
and order that DOE published in the Federal Register on February 27, 
2008. 73 FR 10425. DOE believes that it is in the public interest to 
have similar products tested and rated for energy consumption on a 
comparable basis.

III. Application for Interim Waiver

    LG also requests an interim waiver from the existing DOE test 
procedure. Under 10 CFR 430.27(b)(2), each application for interim 
waiver ``shall demonstrate likely success of the petition for waiver 
and shall address what economic hardship and/or competitive 
disadvantage is likely to result absent a favorable determination on 
the application for interim waiver.'' An interim waiver may be granted 
if it is determined that the applicant will experience economic 
hardship if the application for interim waiver is denied, if it appears 
likely that the petition for waiver will be granted, and/or the 
Assistant Secretary determines that it would be desirable for public 
policy reasons to grant immediate relief pending a determination of the 
petition for waiver. (10 CFR 430.27(g))
    DOE determined that LG's application for interim waiver does not 
provide sufficient market, equipment price, shipments, and other 
manufacturer impact information to permit DOE to evaluate the economic 
hardship LG might experience absent a favorable determination on its 
application for interim waiver. However, DOE understands that absent an 
interim waiver, LG's products would not otherwise be tested and rated 
for energy consumption on a comparable basis with equivalent products 
for which DOE previously granted waivers, and would be required to 
represent a higher energy consumption for essentially the same product. 
Furthermore, it appears likely that LG's Petition for Waiver will be 
granted, and it is desirable for public policy reasons to grant LG 
immediate relief pending a determination on the petition for waiver. As 
stated above, DOE has already granted similar waivers to GE, Whirlpool, 
and Electrolux, as well as interim waivers to Haier and Samsung, 
because the test procedure does not accurately represent the energy 
consumption of refrigerator-freezers containing relative humidity 
sensors and adaptive control anti-sweat heaters. The rationale for 
granting these waivers is equally applicable to LG, which has products 
containing similar relative humidity sensors and anti-sweat heaters. 
DOE has also concluded that it is in the public interest to have 
similar products tested and rated for energy consumption on a 
comparable basis.
    For the reasons stated above, DOE grants LG's application for 
interim waiver from testing of its refrigerator-freezer product line 
containing relative humidity sensors and adaptive control anti-sweat 
heaters. Therefore, it is ordered that:
    The application for interim waiver filed by LG is hereby granted 
for LG's refrigerator-freezer product line containing relative humidity 
sensors and adaptive control anti-sweat heaters, subject to the 
specifications and conditions below.
    1. LG shall not be required to test or rate its refrigerator-
freezer product line containing relative humidity sensors and adaptive 
control anti-sweat heaters based on the test procedure under 10 CFR 
part 430 subpart B, appendix A1.
    2. LG shall be required to test and rate its refrigerator-freezer 
product line containing relative humidity sensors and adaptive control 
anti-sweat heaters according to the alternate test procedure as set 
forth in section IV, ``Alternate Test Procedure.''
    The interim waiver applies to the following basic model groups:

Re: Petition for Waiver and Application for Interim Waiver, 
Refrigerator-Freezers with Adaptive Anti-Sweat Heater Technology
Dear Assistant Secretary Zoi:

    LG Electronics, Inc. (LG) respectfully submits this Petition for 
Waiver and Application for Interim Waiver, pursuant to 10 CFR Sec.  
430.27, for LG refrigerator-freezers with adaptive anti-sweat heater 
technology.
    The applicable Department of Energy (DOE) test procedure does not 
provide an appropriate method for testing and rating refrigerator-
freezers with this technology. DOE has recognized this in granting 
waiver relief to other manufacturers, including Electrolux, General 
Electric, LG, Samsung, and Whirlpool.
    LG is a manufacturer of digital appliances, as well as mobile 
communications, digital displays, and digital media products. Its 
appliances include refrigerators, refrigerator-freezers, air-
conditioners, washing machines, clothes dryers, air cleaners, ovens, 
microwave ovens, dishwashers, and vacuum cleaners and are sold 
worldwide, including in the United States. LG's U.S. operations are LG 
Electronics USA, Inc., with headquarters at 1000 Sylvan Avenue, 
Englewood Cliffs, NJ 07632 (tel. 201-816-2000). Its worldwide 
headquarters are located at LG Twin Towers 20, Yoido-dong, Youngdungpo-
gu Seoul, Korea 150-721; (tel. 011-82-2-3777-1114); URL: http://www.LGE.com. LG's principal brands include LG[supreg] and OEM brands, 
including GE[supreg] and Kenmore[supreg]. LG's appliances are produced 
in Korea and Mexico.
    LG's refrigerator-freezers with adaptive anti-sweat heater 
technology are beneficial products. They react according to different 
ambient conditions such as temperature and humidity. A list of models 
is set forth in Appendix A hereto.
    A waiver and interim waiver for adaptive anti-sweat heater 
technology is warranted. The test procedure under the Energy Policy and 
Conservation Act (EPCA), 42 U.S.C. Sec.  6291 et seq., namely 10 C.F.R. 
Pt. 430, Subpt. B, App. Al, as applied to refrigerator-freezers with 
this technology will yield different test results depending on the 
relative ambient relative humidity in the test chamber. The test 
procedure does not specify a value for the relative ambient humidity in 
the test chamber. Thus, the test procedure evaluates the LG basic 
models in a manner so unrepresentative of their true energy consumption 
characteristics as to provide materially inaccurate comparative data, 
and/or the basic models contain one or more design characteristics that 
prevent testing of the basic models according to the prescribed test 
procedures. In such circumstances DOE ``will grant'' waiver relief. 10 
C.F.R. Sec. Sec.  430.27(l).
    LG's adaptive anti-sweat heater technology is similar to that of 
Electrolux, General Electric, LG, Samsung, and Whirlpool for 
refrigerator-freezers that have been the subject of waiver relief.\1\ 
As with such companies for which waiver relief has been granted, LG 
should be required to test and rate the product lines containing this 
technology (see Appendix A hereto) according to an alternative test 
procedure rather than be required to test or rate on the basis of the 
test procedure under 10 C.F.R. Part 430, Subpart B, Appendix A1. The 
alternative test procedure provides for the test to be run with the 
anti-sweat heater switch in the ``off'' position and then, because the 
test chamber is not humidity-controlled, there would be added to that 
result the kilowatt hours per day derived by calculating the energy 
used when the anti-sweat heater is in the ``on'' position. The 
alternative is set forth in detail in Appendix B hereto.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ See, 75 Fed. Reg. 19959 (April 16, 2010) (Samsung; grant of 
interim waiver); id. 13120 (March 18, 2010) (Samsung; grant of 
waiver); id. 11530 (March 11, 2010) (Electrolux; grant of waiver); 
id. 11522 (March 11, 2010) (LG; grant of interim waiver); id. 4539 
(Jan. 28, 2010) (Electrolux; grant of interim waiver); 74 Fed. Reg. 
66338 (Dec. 15, 2009) (Electrolux; grant of waiver); id. 66340 (Dec. 
15, 2009) (Samsung; grant of interim waiver); id. 26853 (June 4, 
2009) Electrolux; grant of interim waiver); id. 20695 (May 5, 2009) 
(Whirlpool; grant of waiver); 73 Fed. Reg. 10425 (Feb. 27, 2008) 
(General Electric; grant of waiver).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The waiver should continue until a test procedure can be developed 
and adopted by DOE that will provide a fair and accurate assessment of 
this technology's energy consumption and efficiency levels. LG believes 
that the alternative test procedure in this petition does provide a 
fair and accurate assessment.
    LG also requests immediate relief by grant of an interim waiver. 
Grant of an interim waiver is fully justified:
    -- The petition for waiver is likely to be granted, as evidenced 
not only by its merits, but also because DOE has granted waiver relief 
to other manufacturers. The rationale for granting relief to them 
applies equally to LG. And, it is in the public interest for comparable 
products to be tested in a comparable manner.
    -- Without waiver relief, LG will suffer economic hardship. LG 
would be placed in an untenable situation: refrigerator-freezers with 
this technology would be subject to a set of Regulations that clearly 
should not apply to such a product. Without such relief, LG's products 
would not be tested and rated for energy consumption on a comparable 
basis with comparable products for which DOE previously granted 
waivers. LG would be required to represent a higher energy consumption 
than would be the case with waiver relief.
    -- Significant investment has already been made in refrigerator-
freezers with this technology. Lack of relief would not allow LG to 
recoup this investment and would deny LG anticipated sales revenue. 
This does not take into account significant losses in goodwill and 
brand acceptance.
    -- The basic purpose of EPCA is to foster purchase of energy-
efficient products, not hinder such purchases. LG refrigerator-freezers 
with this technology are beneficial and in the public interest. To 
encourage and foster the availability of these products is in the 
public interest. Standards programs should not be used as a means to 
block

[[Page 34730]]

innovative, improved designs.\2\ DOE's rules should accommodate and 
encourage such a product.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ See FTC Advisory Opinion No. 457, TRRP 1718.20 (1971 
Transfer Binder); 49 Fed. Reg. 32213 (Aug. 13, 1984); 52 Fed. Reg. 
49141, 49147-48 (Dec. 30, 1987).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    -- Granting the interim waiver and waiver would also eliminate a 
non-tariff trade barrier.
    -- Grant of relief would also help enhance economic development and 
employment, including not only LG Electronics USA's operations in New 
Jersey, Illinois and Alabama, but also at major national retailers and 
regional dealers that carry LG products. Furthermore, continued 
employment creation and ongoing investments in its marketing, sales and 
servicing activities will be fostered by approval of the interim 
waiver. Conversely, denial of the requested relief would harm the 
company and would be anticompetitive.

CONCLUSION

    LG respectfully requests that DOE grant a waiver and interim waiver 
from existing test procedures for LG refrigerator-freezers with 
adaptive anti-sweat heater technology until such time as a 
representative test procedure is developed and adopted by DOE for such 
products. In the meantime, the alternative test procedure set forth 
herein is appropriate.
    We would be pleased to discuss this request with DOE and provide 
further information as needed.
    We hereby certify that all manufacturers of domestically marketed 
units of the same product type have been notified by letter of this 
petition and application, copies of which letters are set forth in 
Appendix C hereto.
