**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :**  The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) proposed revisions to its existing certification, compliance, and enforcement regulations for certain consumer products and commercial and industrial equipment covered under the Energy Policy and Conservation Act of 1975, as amended (EPCA or the ‘‘ Act’’ ), in a notice of proposed rulemaking (NOPR) published in the Federal Register on September 16, 2010. 75 FR 56796. These regulations provide for sampling plans used in determining compliance with existing standards, manufacturer submission of compliance statements and certification reports to DOE, maintenance of compliance records by manufacturers, and the availability of enforcement actions for improper certification or noncompliance with an applicable standard. The NOPR informed interested parties that DOE would accept written comments through October 18, 2010.

The Air-Conditioning, Heating, and Refrigeration Institute (AHRI) requested an extension of the time to submit comments. In its request, AHRI stated that the additional time is necessary for AHRI and its members to properly respond to the questions and issues raised in the proposed rule given the potential impact of the proposed rule on the air conditioning, heating and refrigeration industry.

Based on AHRI’s request and the number of questions and issues raised during the public meeting, DOE believes that extending the comment period to allow additional time for interested parties to submit comments is appropriate. Therefore, DOE is extending the comment period until October 29, 2010 to provide interested parties additional time to prepare and submit comments. DOE will accept comments received no later than October 29, 2010 and will not consider any further extensions to the comment period.

Issued in Washington, DC, on October 13,
2010. Cathy Zoi, Assistant Secretary, Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy.

**FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION** 

**12 CFR Part 380**

**Notice of Proposed Rulemaking Implementing Certain Orderly**  **Liquidation Authority Provisions of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and**  **Consumer Protection Act**

**AGENCY :**  Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC).

**ACTION :**  Notice of proposed rulemaking.

**SUMMARY :**  The FDIC is proposing a rule ( ‘‘Proposed Rule ’’ ), with request for comments, which would implement certain provisions of its authority to resolve covered financial companies under Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the ‘‘Dodd-Frank Act’’ ) (July 21, 2010). The FDIC’s intent in issuing this Proposed Rule is to provide greater clarity and certainty about how key components of this authority will be implemented and to ensure that the liquidation process under Title II reflects the Dodd-Frank Act’s mandate of transparency in the liquidation of failing systemic financial companies.

**DATES :**  Written comments on the Proposed Rule and questions on that rule must be received by the FDIC not later than November 18, 2010. Written responses to the additional questions posed by the FDIC must be received by the FDIC not later than January 18,
2011.
