Energy Conservation Program: Energy 
Conservation Standards for Consumer Boilers 
AGENCY : Office of Energy Efficiency and 
Renewable Energy, Department of Energy. 
ACTION : Notification of public meeting 
and webinar. 
SUMMARY : The Energy Policy and 
Conservation Act, as amended (EPCA), prescribes energy conservation standards for various consumer products and certain commercial and industrial equipment, including consumer boilers. DOE previously proposed amended energy conservation standards for consumer boilers in a notice of proposed rulemaking (NOPR) published in the Federal Register on August 14, 2023, which also announced a public meeting via webinar to receive input on these proposed standards and associated analyses and results. On August 15, 2023, DOE received a letter from the Air-Conditioning, Heating & Refrigeration Institute (AHRI) asking the Department to extend the NOPR comment period by 30 days and also to hold an in-person public meeting regarding the NOPR. In this document, DOE grants AHRI’s request for an in- person meeting and announces that the public meeting will now be held in person, in addition to being broadcast as a webinar. DOE is denying AHRI’s request for a comment period extension for the reasons explained in this document. 
DATES : Meeting: DOE will hold a public 
meeting on Tuesday, September 12, 2023 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., in Arlington, VA. This meeting will also be broadcast as a webinar. 
ADDRESSES : The public meeting will be 
held at 1000 Wilson Boulevard, Suite 1400, Arlington, VA 22209. See the 
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION (Public 
Participation) section for further details, including procedures for attending the in-person meeting, webinar registration information, participant instructions, and information about the capabilities available to webinar participants.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION : On August 
14, 2023, DOE published a NOPR in the Federal Register titled ‘‘Energy Conservation Standards for Consumer Boilers,’’ which seeks to determine whether more-stringent standards would be technologically feasible and economically justified and would result in significant energy savings. 88 FR 55128. That document, which proposes amended energy conservation standards for consumer boilers, provides a 60-day public comment period ending on October 13, 2023. The NOPR also scheduled a public meeting webinar to discuss the consumer boilers NOPR and to receive input on these proposed standards and associated analyses and results from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. on Tuesday, September 12, 2023. 
On August 15, 2023, DOE received a 
letter
1from AHRI asking the 
Department to extend the Consumer Boilers energy conservation standards NOPR comment period by 30 days and also to hold an in-person public meeting regarding the NOPR. AHRI stated that their members need additional time to consider and collect data on this topic. 
After carefully considering AHRI’s 
requests, the Department has decided to grant the request for an in-person public meeting at the date and time previously scheduled in the August 14, 2023 Consumer Boilers NOPR. Consequently, DOE will be hosting an in-person public meeting in addition to the webinar. Please note that attendance will be limited for the in-person public meeting do to room size capacity limits. 
DOE has decided to deny AHRI’s 
request for a comment period extension. The Department continues to believe that the comment period length is appropriate and provides a meaningful opportunity for interested parties to comment on the NOPR. It is noted that DOE also posted a pre-publication copy of the NOPR on the DOE website and notified stakeholder organizations of its availability via email on July 28, 2023, which provided many stakeholders with another 17 days of review in addition to the 60-day comment period.

Due to the REAL ID Act implemented 
by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), there have been recent changes regarding ID requirements for individuals wishing to enter Federal buildings from specific States and U.S. territories. DHS maintains an updated website identifying the State and territory driver’s licenses that currently are acceptable for entry into DOE facilities at www.dhs.gov/real-id- enforcement-brief. A driver’s license 
from a State or territory identified as not compliant by DHS will not be accepted for building entry and one of the alternate forms of ID listed below will be required. Acceptable alternate forms of Photo-ID include U.S. Passport or Passport Card; an Enhanced Driver’s License or Enhanced ID-Card issued by 
States and territories as identified on the DHS website (Enhanced licenses issued by these States and territories are clearly marked Enhanced or Enhanced Driver’s License); a military ID or other Federal government-issued Photo-ID card. 
In addition, you can attend the public 
meeting via webinar. Webinar registration information, participant instructions, and information about the capabilities available to webinar participants will be published on DOE’s website: www.energy.gov/eere/ 
buildings/public-meetings-and- comment-deadlines. Participants are 
responsible for ensuring their systems are compatible with the webinar software. 
Procedure for Submitting Prepared 
General Statements for Distribution 
Any person who has plans to present 
a prepared general statement may request that copies of his or her statement be made available at the public meeting. Such persons may submit requests, along with an advance electronic copy of their statement in PDF (preferred), Microsoft Word or Excel, WordPerfect, or text (ASCII) file format, to the appropriate address shown in the 
ADDRESSES section at the

Conduct of the Public Meeting 
DOE will designate a DOE official to 
preside at the public meeting and may also use a professional facilitator to aid 
discussion. The meeting will not be a judicial or evidentiary-type public hearing, but DOE will conduct it in accordance with section 336 of EPCA (42 U.S.C. 6306). A court reporter will be present to record the proceedings and prepare a transcript. DOE reserves the right to schedule the order of presentations and to establish the procedures governing the conduct of the webinar/public meeting. There shall not be discussion of proprietary information, costs or prices, market share, or other commercial matters regulated by U.S. anti-trust laws. After the webinar and until the end of the comment period, interested parties may submit further comments on the proceedings and any aspect of the proposed rulemaking. 
The webinar will be conducted in an 
informal, conference style. DOE will present a general overview of the topics addressed in this proposed rulemaking, allow time for prepared general statements by participants, and encourage all interested parties to share their views on issues affecting this proposed rulemaking. Each participant will be allowed to make a general statement (within time limits determined by DOE), before the discussion of specific topics. DOE will permit, as time permits, other participants to comment briefly on any general statements. 
At the end of all prepared statements 
on a topic, DOE will permit participants to clarify their statements briefly. Participants should be prepared to answer questions by DOE and by other participants concerning these issues. DOE representatives may also ask questions of participants concerning other matters relevant to this proposed rulemaking. The official conducting the webinar will accept additional comments or questions from those attending, as time permits. The presiding official will announce any further procedural rules or modification of the above procedures that may be needed for the proper conduct of the public meeting. 
A transcript of the public meeting will 
be included in the docket, which can be viewed as described in the Docket section at the beginning of the August 14, 2023 NOPR. In addition, any person may buy a copy of the transcript from the transcribing reporter.
