above. The basis for DACA’s Application for

Interim Waiver follows.

DACA is likely to succeed in its Petition

for Waiver because there is no reasonable

argument that ISO Standard 13256–1 (1998)

can be accurately applied to DACA’s VRV–

WII product class. As explained above in the

DACA’s Petition for Waiver, the design

characteristics of the VRV–WII product class

clearly prevent testing of the basic model

according to the prescribed test procedures.

The likelihood of DOE approving DACA’s

Petition for Waiver is buttressed by the DOE’s

history of approving previous waiver

requests from DACA and from several other

manufacturers for other products that are

similar to the VRV–WII product class, based

on the same rationale put forth by DACA in

this Petition for Waiver. See preceding

discussion of waivers granted by DOE to

MEUS, Fujitsu General, and Sanyo Fisher

(USA) Corp.

Additionally, DACA is likely to suffer

economic hardship and competitive

disadvantage if DOE does not grant its

interim waiver request. DACA is now

preparing to introduce its VRV–WII product

class in a matter of months. If we must wait

for completion of the normal waiver

consideration and issuance process, DACA

will be forced to delay the opportunity to

begin recouping through product sales its

research, development and production costs

associated with the VRV–WII product class.

In addition to these economic hardship costs,

DACA will lose market share to MEUS,

especially if DOE grants MEUS’ pending

interim waiver application for its CITY

MULTI WR2 and WY product classes, which

will compete directly with DACA’s VRV–WII

product class.

DOE approval of DACA’s interim waiver

application is also supported by sound

public policy reasons. As DOE stated in its

August 14, 2006 approval of DACA’s interim

waiver for the VRV and VRV-S product

classes:

[I]n those instances where the likely

success of the Petition for Waiver has been

demonstrated, based upon DOE having

granted a waiver for a similar product design,

it is in the public interest to have similar

products tested and rated for energy

consumption on a comparable basis.

The VRV–WII product class will provide

superior comfort to the end user, will allow

for independent zoning of facilities from a

single outdoor unit, and will incorporate

state of the art technology such as variable

speed compressors utilizing neodymium

magnets to increase efficiency and electronic

control of compressor speed, fan speed and

even metering device opening positions. The

VRV–WII product class will introduce

technologies that will increase system

efficiency and reduce national energy

consumption, and that will also offer a new

level of comfort and control to end users.

DACA requests that DOE grant our

Application for Interim Waiver so we can

bring the new highly energy efficient

technology represented by the VRV–WII

product class to the market as soon as

possible, thereby allowing the U.S. consumer

to benefit from our high technology and high

efficiency product, and from competition for

VerDate Aug<31>2005

Jkt 214001

other manufacturers who may have already

received waivers.

Confidential Information

DACA makes no request to DOE for

confidential treatment of any information

contained in this Petition for Waiver and

Application for Interim Waiver.

• Conclusion

Daikin AC (Americas), Inc. Corporation

respectfully requests DOE to grant its Petition

for Waiver of the applicable test procedure to

DACA for the VRV–WII product design, and

to grant its Application for Interim Waiver.

DOE’s failure to issue an interim waiver from

test standards would cause significant

economic hardship to DACA by preventing

DACA from marketing these products even

though DOE has previously granted a waiver

to other products currently being offered in

the market with similar design

characteristics.

We would be pleased to respond to any

questions you may have regarding this

Petition for Waiver and Application for

Interim Waiver. Please contact Russell

Tavolacci, Director of Product Marketing at

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION

AGENCY

[FRL–8514–2]

Adaptation for Climate-Sensitive

Ecosystems and Resources Advisory

Committee (ACSERAC)

AGENCY: U.S. Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of a public conference

call meeting of the U.S. Environmental

Protection Agency’s Adaptation for

Climate-Sensitive Ecosystems and

Resources Advisory Committee on

January 15, 2008, from 2 p.m. until 4

p.m. (EST).

SUMMARY: Pursuant to the Federal

Advisory Committee Act, Public Law

92–463 as amended (5 U.S.C., App. 2),

notification is hereby given that the U.S.

Environmental Protection Agency,

Office of Research and Development

(ORD) will hold a public conference call

of the ACSERAC. This public

conference call meeting is a follow-up to

the public meeting that was held on

October 22–23, 2007 (72 FR 52875,

September 17, 2007).

The U.S. District Court for the District

of Northern California has ordered the

interagency U.S. Climate Change

Science Program (CCSP) to produce the

periodic scientific assessment of climate

change required by the Global Change

Research Act of 1990 by May 31, 2008

(Center for Biological Diversity v.

Brennan et al., 2007 WL 2408901 [No.

06–7062, Aug. 21, 2007]). Synthesis and

Assessment Product 4.4, which is being

reviewed by the ACSERAC, is an

integral component of this assessment.

The CCSP has directed EPA to complete

and submit a final draft of Product 4.4

to the CCSP by January 31, 2008. To

meet this deadline, the ACSERAC is

holding this conference call meeting to

review its final report on this product.

This notice is being published less than

15 days before the teleconference.

Product 4.4 is a very large document

that has been developed under an

unusually short time frame, with

impacts on the authors’ and committee

members’ schedules. January 15 is the

only date that the Committee is

available to hold this conference call

meeting. Since EPA will likely have to

make changes to the document

following the teleconference, delaying

this meeting would cause EPA to be late

in submitting this product to the CCSP.

Participants will discuss the revisions to

the document that were a result of the

public meeting in October. The CCSP

expects to release the draft scientific

assessment in April 2008. Interested

parties will have an opportunity to

Frm 00024

Fmt 4703

review and comment on the entire

scientific assessment, including Product

4.4, when it is released to the public.

Public Participation: Members of the

public may submit written comments to

Joanna Foellmer, Designated Federal

Official, ACSERAC (see the FOR FURTHER

INFORMATION CONTACT section below). In

addition, members of the public may

call into the conference call meeting as

observers, and there will be a limited

time for comments from the public.

Please contact Joanna Foellmer no later

than January 11, 2008, if you wish to

make oral comments during the

conference call meeting. Requests to

make oral comments must be in writing

(via e-mail, fax or ground mail). Please

send a copy of your presentation to

Joanna Foellmer by January 13, 2008.

Information on services for the disabled

may be obtained by contacting Joanna

Foellmer.

Agenda: The proposed agenda for the

conference call includes, but is not

limited to, an extensive discussion by

the ACSERAC with respect to EPA’s

response to the Committee’s comments

on the external review draft report

entitled: ‘‘Synthesis and Assessment

Product 4.4; Preliminary Review of

Adaptation Options for ClimateSensitive Ecosystems and Resources’’

(SAP 4.4). A draft agenda may be

obtained from Joanna Foellmer (see the

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT

section below).

DATES: The conference call will take

place on January 15, 2008, from 2 p.m.

until 4 p.m. (EST).

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Questions regarding information and

logistics for the ACSERAC should be

directed to Joanna Foellmer by

telephone: 703–347–8508, by e-mail:

Foellmer.Joanna@epa.gov, by fax: 703–

347–8694, or by regular mail: Joanna

Foellmer, ORD/NCEA (Mail Code

8601P), U.S. Environmental Protection

Agency, 1200 Pennsylvania Avenue,

NW., Washington, DC 20460.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

ACSERAC supports the U.S.

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)

in its participation in the CCSP,

specifically in implementation of Goal 4

of the Strategic Plan for the CCSP. Goal

4 is to understand ‘‘the sensitivity and

adaptability of different natural and

managed ecosystems and human

systems to climate and related global

changes.’’ EPA also helps the CCSP

satisfy its requirement to conduct

periodic assessments of climate change

and variability, as set forth in the Global

Change Research Act of 1990. The

ACSERAC supports EPA in performing

its duties and responsibilities.
