Energy Conservation Program: Test 
Procedures for Small, Large, and Very Large Air-Cooled Commercial Package Air Conditioning and Heating Equipment 
AGENCY : Office of Energy Efficiency and 
Renewable Energy, Department of Energy. 
ACTION : Proposed rule; reopening of 
public comment period. 
SUMMARY : On August 6, 2015, the U.S. 
Department of Energy (DOE) published a notice of proposed rulemaking (NOPR) in the Federal Register regarding proposed amendments to the test procedures for small, large, and very large air-cooled commercial package air conditioning and heating equipment. DOE also held a related public meeting on September 4, 2015. The comment period for the NOPR was scheduled to end September 8, 2015. After receiving a request for an additional two weeks to comment, DOE has decided to reopen the comment period for submitting comments and data in response to the NOPR regarding test procedures for small, large, and very large air-cooled commercial package air conditioning and heating equipment. The comment period is extended. 
DATES : The comment period for the 
NOPR regarding test procedures for small, large, and very large air-cooled commercial package air conditioning and heating equipment published on August 6, 2015 (80 FR 46870) is reopened. DOE will accept comments, data, and information in response to the NOPR received no later than October 2, 2015. 
ADDRESSES : Any comments submitted 
must identify the NOPR for Test Procedures for Small, Large, and Very Large Air-Cooled Commercial Package Air Conditioning and Heating Equipment, and provide docket number EERE–2015–BT–TP–0015 and/or regulatory information number (RIN) number 1904–AD54.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION : The 
Energy Policy and Conservation Act of 1975 (EPCA), as amended, requires DOE to conduct an evaluation of its test procedures at least once every seven years for each class of covered equipment (including the equipment that is the subject of this rulemaking) to determine if an amended test procedure would more accurately or fully comply with the requirement to be reasonably designed to produce test results that reflect the energy efficiency, energy use, and operating costs during a representative average use cycle. DOE must either prescribe amended test procedures or publish a notice in the Federal Register regarding its determination not to amend test procedures. (42 U.S.C. 6314(a)(1)–(2)) 
On August 6, 2015, DOE published a 
notice of proposed rulemaking (NOPR) in the Federal Register regarding potential amendments to the test procedures for small, large, and very large air-cooled commercial package air conditioning and heating equipment (80 FR 46870). The notice provided for the submission of written comments by September 8, 2015, and oral comments were also accepted at a public meeting held on September 4, 2015. 
On September 4, 2015, DOE received 
a request from Goodman Manufacturing Co., seeking an additional two weeks to prepare and submit comments. On September 8, 2015, DOE received a request from Lennox International seeking an additional 30 days to review the technical aspects of the proposed test procedure. After careful

consideration of this request, DOE has 
determined that extending the public comment period by reopening to allow additional time for interested parties to submit comments is appropriate based on the foregoing reasons. Accordingly, DOE has decided to grant the request and reopen the public comment period on the NOPR for test procedures for small, large, and very large air-cooled commercial package air conditioning and heating equipment for 15 days to allow for additional data and comments to be submitted, especially in light of the public meeting discussion on specific topics. Consequently, DOE will consider any comments in response to the NOPR received by midnight of October 2, 2015, and deems any comments received by that time to be timely submitted. 
Issued in Washington, DC, on September 
11, 2015.

Airworthiness Directives; Airbus 
Airplanes 
AGENCY : Federal Aviation 
Administration (FAA), DOT. 
ACTION : Notice of proposed rulemaking 
(NPRM). 
SUMMARY : We propose to supersede 
Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2014–14– 06 for all Airbus Model A318–111 and –112 airplanes; Model A319–111, –112, –113, –114, and –115 airplanes; Model A320–111, –211, –212, and –214 airplanes; and Model A321–111, –112, –211, –212, and –213 airplanes. AD 2014–14–06 currently requires inspecting the aft engine mount retainers for surface finish, cracks, and failure, and replacement if necessary. Since we issued AD 2014–14–06, inspection results have shown that the main cause of crack initiation remains the vibration dynamic effect that affects both retainers, either with ‘‘dull’’ or ‘‘bright’’ surface finishes. This proposed AD would require repetitive inspections for damage, cracks, broken, and missing aft engine mount retainers, and 
replacement if necessary. We are proposing this AD to detect and correct failure of retainer brackets of the aft engine mount and consequent loss of the locking feature of the nuts of the inner and outer pins; loss of the pins will result in the aft mount engine link no longer being secured to the aft engine mount. 
DATES : We must receive comments on 
this proposed AD by November 2, 2015.

Discussion 
On July 3, 2014, we issued AD 2014– 
14–06, Amendment 39–17901 (79 FR 
42655, July 23, 2014). AD 2014–14–06 requires actions intended to address an unsafe condition on all Model A318– 111 and –112 airplanes; Model A319– 111, –112, –113, –114, and –115 airplanes; Model A320–111, –211, –212, and –214 airplanes; and Model A321– 111, –112, –211, –212, and –213 airplanes. 
Since we issued AD 2014–14–06, 
Amendment 39–17901 (79 FR 42655, July 23, 2014), we have determined that additional inspections are necessary to address the identified unsafe condition. The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which is the Technical Agent for the Member States of the European Union, has issued EASA Airworthiness Directive 2015–0021, dated February 13, 2015 (referred to after this as the Mandatory Continuing Airworthiness Information, or ‘‘the MCAI’’), to correct an unsafe condition. The MCAI states: 
During in-service inspections, several aft 
engine mount retainers, fitted on aeroplanes 
equipped with CFM56–5A/5B engines, have been found broken. The results of the initial investigations highlighted that two different types of surface finish had been applied (respectively bright and dull material finishes), and that dull finish affects the strength of the retainer with regard to fatigue properties of the part. The pins which attach the engine link to the aft mount are secured
