Public Participation 

DOE invites all interested parties to 

submit in writing by November 23, 

2011, comments and information on 

matters addressed in this notice and on 

other matters relevant to DOE’s 

consideration of a revised test procedure 

for measuring the active mode energy 

consumption of residential microwaves 

(both microwave-only and combination 

microwave types). 

After the close of the comment period, 

DOE will begin collecting data, 

conducting relevant analyses, and 

reviewing the public comments. These 

actions will be taken to aid in the 

development of a test procedure NOPR 

for residential microwaves. 

DOE considers public participation to 

be a very important part of the process 

for developing test procedures. DOE 

actively encourages the participation of 

the public during the comment period 

in each stage of the rulemaking process. 

Interactions with and between members 

of the public provide a balanced 

discussion of the issues and assist DOE 

in the rulemaking process. Anyone who 

wishes to be added to the DOE mailing 

list to receive future notices and 

information about this rulemaking 

should contact Ms. Brenda Edwards at 

(202) 586–2945, or via e-mail at

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On 

September 14, 2011, DOE published a 

notice of public meeting and availability 

of the framework document in the 

Federal Register 76 FR 56678 

(September 14, 2011) to make available 

and invite comments on the framework 

document for general service fluorescent 

lamps and incandescent reflector lamps 

energy conservation standards. The 

notice provided for the submission of 

comments by October 31, 2011, and 

comments were also accepted at a 

public meeting held on October 4, 2011. 

At this public meeting Lutron stated it 

had conferred with other stakeholders 

and they were in agreement that more 

time should be allowed to provide 

comments on the framework document. 

Lutron suggested that the comment 

period for the framework document be 

extended to coincide with the comment 

period for the notice of proposed 

rulemaking for general service 

fluorescent lamps, general service 

incandescent lamps, and incandescent 

reflector lamps test procedures ending 

November 28, 2011. DOE has 

determined that an extension of the 

public comment period is appropriate 

based on the foregoing reasons and is 

hereby extending the comment period. 

DOE will consider any comments 

received by November 28, 2011/ 

midnight and deems any comments 

received between October 31, 2011/ 

midnight and November 28, 2011/ 

midnight to be timely submitted. 

Further Information on Submitting 

Comments

submitting information that he or she 

believes to be confidential and exempt 

by law from public disclosure should 

submit two copies: One copy of the 

document including all the information 

believed to be confidential, and one 

copy of the document with the 

information believed to be confidential 

deleted. DOE will make its own 

determination about the confidential

and why such items are customarily 

treated as confidential within the 

industry, (3) whether the information is 

generally known by or available from

concerning its confidentiality, (5) an 

explanation of the competitive injury to 

the submitting person which would 

result from public disclosure, (6) when 

such information might lose its 

confidential character due to the

of the information would be contrary to 

the public interest.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background: On September 7, 2011, 

DOE published its proposal to amend its 

regulation concerning unclassified 

assistance to foreign atomic energy 

activities (76 FR 55278). This regulation 

provides that persons subject to the 

jurisdiction of the United States who 

engage directly or indirectly in the 

production of special nuclear material 

outside the United States must be 

authorized to do so by the Secretary of 

Energy pursuant to section 57 b.(2) of 

the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as 

amended. The proposed revisions 

update and clarify several provisions in 

the current regulation, and identify 

information that applicants are required 

to submit in support of applications for 

an authorization under this Part. The 

revisions are intended to reduce 

uncertainties for industry users 

concerning which foreign nuclearrelated activities by U.S. persons are 

‘‘generally authorized’’ under the 

regulation and which activities require 

a ‘‘specific authorization’’ from the 

Secretary. 

Purpose of the Meeting: To provide an 

overview of proposed changes and to 

conduct Q&A session with industry 

with respect to the proposed 

rulemaking. 

Tentative Agenda: The Webinar will 

be conducted on November 2, 2011, 

from 10 am to 11:30 am EST. All 

prospective registrants will be notified 

by the agency via e-mail with respect to 

Webinar logon information. Webinar 

materials will be transmitted to 

registrants via e-mail. 

Public Participation: To participate in 

the Webinar, please register by sending 

an e-mail to 

NISPublications@battelle.org. Please 

include in the subject line of the e-mail 

‘‘DOE Webinar November 2’’. In the 

body of the e-mail, please provide the 

registrant’s name, affiliation, e-mail 

address, mailing address, and telephone 

number. Please submit your e-mail 

registration by noon EST on November 

1, 2011. Registration will open at 9 a.m. 

EST on Friday, October 28, 2011. 

Registration is limited to 125 registrants. 

Please note that comments on the 

proposed rulemaking will not be 

accepted during the Webinar. Instead, 

the public has an opportunity to 

comment formally on the proposed 

rulemaking as provided in the Federal 

Register on September 7, 2011 (76 FR 

55278). By this notice, DOE is extending 

by 30 days the deadline for comments, 

with the final deadline for DOE 

receiving comments now being 

December 7, 2011. Participation in the 

Webinar is not a prerequisite for 

submission of written comments. 

Registrants are responsible for 

ensuring their systems are compatible 

with Webinar software.
