SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On April 

8, 2013, DOE published a supplemental 

notice of proposed rulemaking (SNOPR) 

in the Federal Register (78 FR 20832) to 

propose amendments to its May 2012

test procedures for showerheads, 

faucets, water closets, urinals, and 

commercial prerinse spray valves. The 

notice provided for the submission of 

comments by May 8, 2013. Plumbing 

Manufacturers International (PMI) has 

requested a 30-day extension of the 

comment period, stating that it needs

amendments proposed in the SNOPR

determined that an extension of the 

public comment period is appropriate 

based on the foregoing reason and is 

hereby extending the comment period. 

DOE will consider any comments

and deems any comments received by 

that time to be timely submitted.
