SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On 

February 28, 2014, DOE published an 

updated notice of proposed 

determination (NOPD) in the Federal 

Register (79 FR 11345) to determine that 

computer systems meet the criteria for 

classification as a covered product 

under the Energy Policy and 

Conservation Act, as amended (EPCA, 

42 U.S.C 6291, et seq.). The NOPD 

provided for the submission of 

comments from interested parties by 

March 31, 2014. Thereafter, interested 

parties requested an extension of the 

comment period. The Information 

Technology Industry Council (ITI) 

stated that they wanted to provide clear 

guidance and propose definitions 

related to the scope of coverage for this 

rulemaking. The Consumer Electronics 

Association (CEA) stated additional 

time will enable them to complete and 

reference findings from their latest 

comprehensive energy use study in the 

comments, and gather additional 

feedback from impacted CEA members 

concerning scope and product 

classifications. 

Based on ITI and CEA’s requests, DOE 

determines that an extension of the 

public comment period to allow 

additional time for interested parties to 

submit comments is appropriate. 

Therefore, DOE is extending the 

comment period until April 15, 2014 to 

provide interested parties additional 

time to prepare and submit comments. 

Accordingly, DOE will consider any 

comments received by April 15, 2014 to 

be timely submitted. 

Issued in Washington, DC, on March 26, 

2014.

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Energy 

Efficiency, Energy Efficiency and Renewable 

Energy.
