Energy Conservation Program: Test Procedure for Compressors;
Extension of Comment Period
AGENCY: Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, Department of
Energy.
ACTION: Request for information; extension of public comment period.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: On May 6, 2022, the U.S. Department of Energy (``DOE'')
published a request for information (``RFI'') regarding test procedures
for compressors. The RFI provided an opportunity for submitting written
comments, data, and information by June 6, 2022. DOE received a request
from the Compressed Air and Gas Institute on May 23, 2022 requesting an
extension of the public comment period for an additional 60 days. DOE
has reviewed the request and is granting a 14-day extension of the
public comment period to allow comments to be submitted until June 20,
2022.
DATES: The comment period for the RFI published on May 6, 2022 (87 FR
27025) is extended. DOE will accept comments, data, and information
regarding the RFI received no later than June 20, 2022.
ADDRESSES: Interested persons are encouraged to submit comments using
the Federal eRulemaking Portal at <a href="http://www.regulations.gov">www.regulations.gov</a>, under docket
number EERE-2022-BT-TP-0019. Follow the instructions for submitting
comments. Alternatively, interested persons may submit comments by
email to <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#40032f2d30322533332f3233727072721410707071790025256e242f256e272f36"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="10537f7d60627563637f6263222022224440202021295075753e747f753e777f66">[email protected]</span></a>. Include docket number EERE-
2022-BT-TP-0019 in the subject line of the message. No telefacsimiles
(``faxes'') will be accepted.
Although DOE has routinely accepted public comment submissions
through a variety of mechanisms, including postal mail and hand
delivery/courier, the Department has found it necessary to make
temporary modifications to the comment submission process in light of
the ongoing coronavirus 2019 (``COVID-19'') pandemic. DOE is currently
suspending receipt of public comments via postal mail and hand
delivery/courier. If a commenter finds that this change poses an undue
hardship, please contact Appliance Standards Program staff at (202)
586-1445 to discuss the need for alternative arrangements. Once the
COVID-19 pandemic health emergency is resolved, DOE anticipates
resuming all of its regular options for public comment submission,
including postal mail and hand delivery/courier.
Docket: The docket for this activity, which includes Federal
Register notices, comments, and other supporting documents/materials,
is available for review at <a href="http://www.regulations.gov">www.regulations.gov</a>. All documents in the
docket are listed in the <a href="http://www.regulations.gov">www.regulations.gov</a> index. However, some
documents listed in the index, such as those containing information
that is exempt from public disclosure, may not be publicly available.

to access all documents, including public comments, in the docket.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On May 6, 2022, DOE published an RFI
initiating a review to consider whether to amend DOE's test procedure
for compressors. In the RFI, DOE identified certain issues associated
with the currently applicable test procedure on which DOE is interested
in receiving comment. These issues include the scope of coverage,
updated industry test procedures and the accuracy, representativeness
and cost of existing test requirements. 87 FR 27025. The RFI set a
comment period deadline of June 6, 2022.
The Compressed Air and Gas Institute (CAGI) requested a 60-day
extension of the public comment period to help investigate the request
and respond appropriately with considered comments. (CAGA, EERE-2022-
BT-TP-0019, No. 3 at p. 1).
DOE has determined that an extension of the public comment period
is appropriate to allow interested parties additional time to submit
comments for DOE's consideration. Thus, DOE is extending the comment
period by 14 days, until June 20, 2022.
