Energy Conservation Program for Consumer Products: Clothes Washer Energy Conservation Standards

AGENCY : Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, Energy.

ACTION : Notice of extension of comment period.

SUMMARY : On November 19, 1998 (63 FR 64344), the Department of Energy published a Supplemental Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking to revise energy conservation standards for clothes washers under the Energy Policy and Conservation Act. The notice announced that February 2, 1999, would be the closing date for receiving public comments. At the December 15, 1998, workshop on clothes washers, Amana requested that the comment period be extended for two months, to allow additional time for understanding the financial model and to give better responses to concerns raised in the notice. The Department is committed to issuing the final rule on schedule. In light of the fact that much of the information discussed in the notice was presented at the March 11, 1998, Clothes Washer Workshop, the Department agrees to a more limited extension of the comment period.

DATES : Comments must be received on or before February 16, 1999.

ADDRESSES : Written comments are welcome. Please submit 10 copies (no faxes) to: Brenda Edwards-Jones, U.S. Department of Energy, Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, Energy Conservation Program for Consumer Products: Clothes Washers, Docket No. EE–RM–94–403, RIN 1904– AA67, 1000 Independence Avenue, SW, Washington, DC 20585–0121.

Airworthiness Directives; Boeing Model 737–100, –200, –300, –400, and –500 Series Airplanes

AGENCY : Federal Aviation Administration, DOT.

ACTION : Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

SUMMARY : This document proposes the supersedure of an existing airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to all Boeing Model 737–100, –200, –300, –400, and –500 series airplanes, that currently requires removal of the fuel boost pump wiring in the conduits of the wing and center fuel tanks; an inspection to detect damage of the wiring, and corrective action, if necessary; and eventual installation of Teflon sleeving over the electrical cable. This action would expand the inspection requirement to include additional airplanes, add repetitive inspections for all airplanes, and reidentify the requirement to install Teflon sleeving as a nonterminating action. This proposal is prompted by the FAA’s determination that Model 737– 100 through –500 series airplanes that are not affected by the current AD must also be protected against excessive wire chafing of the fuel boost pump wiring and that all affected airplanes must be repetitively inspected. The actions specified by the proposed AD are intended to detect and correct chafing and prevent electrical arcing between the fuel boost pump wiring and the surrounding conduit, which could result in arc-through of the conduit, and consequent fire or explosion of the fuel tank.

DATES : Comments must be received by February 25, 1999.

ADDRESSES : Submit comments in triplicate to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Transport Airplane Directorate, ANM–114, Attention: Rules Docket No. 98–NM– 318–AD, 1601 Lind Avenue, SW., Renton, Washington 98055–4056.
