SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On 

January 18, 2011, the President issued 

Executive Order 13563, ‘‘Improving 

Regulation and Regulatory Review,’’ to 

ensure that Federal regulations seek 

more affordable, less intrusive means to 

achieve policy goals, and that agencies 

give careful consideration to the benefits 

and costs of those regulations. 

Additionally, the Executive Order 

directs agencies to consider how best to 

promote retrospective analyses of 

existing rules. To implement the 

Executive Order, DOE published a plan 

to periodically review existing 

regulations to determine which should 

be maintained, modified, strengthened, 

or repealed to increase the effectiveness 

and decrease the burdens of DOE’s 

regulatory program. DOE’s plan is 

available at http://www.whitehouse.gov/ 

21stcenturygov/actions/21st-centuryregulatory-system. 

Pursuant to its plan to implement the 

Executive Order, DOE published an RFI 

on May 15, 2012 seeking additional 

public comment on how best to review 

its existing regulations and to identify 

whether any of its existing regulations 

should be modified, streamlined, 

expanded, or repealed. (77 FR 28518) 

DOE sought comment on the RFI until 

May 29, 2012. DOE received a request 

from a member of the public to extend 

the comment period given the 

importance of many of the questions 

and issues raised in the RFI to the 

commenter. As a result, in this notice, 

DOE extends the reply comment period 

until June 19, 2012. DOE will consider 

any comments received by June 19, 

2012. 

Issued in Washington, DC, on May 23, 

2012. 

Gregory H. Woods, 

General Counsel.
