SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On September 28, 2022, DOE published a NOA
and requested comment on its Clean Hydrogen Production Standard (CHPS)
Draft Guidance. (87 FR 58776). The NOA contained the initial proposal
for the CHPS and established a target for the lifecycle (i.e., well-to-
gate) emissions intensity of hydrogen production, based on the
Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) definition of the term
``clean hydrogen'' and other factors set forth in section 40315(b) of
the IIJA.
DOE has received several requests to extend the public comment
period for 60 and 90 days to help investigate the request and respond
appropriately with considered comments given the importance of the
standard and the amount of detailed information requested.
DOE has determined that reopening the public comment period for 25
days is appropriate to enable submission of robust information that can
inform DOE's programs. Thus, DOE is reopening the comment period
through November 14, 2022.
Signing Authority: This document of the Department of Energy was
