{"abstract":"This notice announces receipt of and publishes the Haier Group and Haier America Trading, L.L.C. (Haier) petition for waiver (hereafter, \"Petition\") from specified portions of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) test procedure for determining the energy consumption of electric refrigerators and refrigerator-freezers. The waiver request pertains to Haier's product lines that utilize a control logic that changes the wattage of the anti-sweat heaters based upon the ambient relative humidity conditions to prevent condensation. The existing test procedure does not take humidity or adaptive control technology into account. Therefore, Haier has suggested an alternate test procedure that considers adaptive control technology when measuring energy consumption. DOE solicits comments, data, and information concerning Haier's Petition and the suggested alternate test procedure. DOE also publishes notice of the grant of an interim waiver to Haier.","action":"Notice of Petition for Waiver, Notice of Granting Application for Interim Waiver, and request for public comments.","agencies":[{"raw_name":"DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY","name":"Energy Department","id":136,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/energy-department","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/136","parent_id":null,"slug":"energy-department"}],"body_html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/html/2010/03/11/2010-5226.html","cfr_references":[],"citation":"75 FR 11522","comment_url":null,"comments_close_on":"2010-04-12","correction_of":null,"corrections":[],"dates":"DOE will accept comments, data, and information with respect to the Haier Petition until, but no later than, April 12, 2010.","disposition_notes":null,"docket_ids":["Case No. RF-013"],"dockets":[],"document_number":"2010-5226","effective_on":null,"end_page":11526,"executive_order_notes":null,"executive_order_number":null,"explanation":null,"full_text_xml_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/xml/2010/03/11/2010-5226.xml","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2010/03/11/2010-5226/energy-conservation-program-for-consumer-products-publication-of-the-petition-for-waiver-and-notice","images":{},"images_metadata":{},"json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/documents/2010-5226?publication_date=2010-03-11","mods_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/metadata/granule/FR-2010-03-11/2010-5226/mods.xml","not_received_for_publication":null,"page_length":5,"page_views":{"count":36,"last_updated":"2026-05-27 12:15:05 -0400"},"pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2010-03-11/pdf/2010-5226.pdf","presidential_document_number":null,"proclamation_number":null,"public_inspection_pdf_url":null,"publication_date":"2010-03-11","raw_text_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/text/2010/03/11/2010-5226.txt","regulation_id_number_info":{},"regulation_id_numbers":[],"regulations_dot_gov_info":{},"regulations_dot_gov_url":null,"significant":null,"signing_date":null,"start_page":11522,"subtype":null,"title":"Energy Conservation Program for Consumer Products: Publication of the Petition for Waiver and Notice of Granting the Application for Interim Waiver of Haier From the Department of Energy Residential Refrigerator and Refrigerator-Freezer Test Procedures","toc_doc":"Interim Waiver of Haier From the Residential Refrigerator and RefrigeratorFreezer Test Procedures","toc_subject":"Energy Conservation Program for Consumer Products:","topics":[],"type":"Notice","volume":75}
