4220 Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 19 / Tuesday, January 30, 2007 / Proposed Rules 

II. Discussion 

The Department recognizes the 

stakeholders’ request for additional time 

to prepare comments, and because it 

encourages all stakeholders to provide 

comment, the Department is extending 

the comment period to February 13, 

2007. The Department believes this 

additional time allows for the 

development and completion of 

stakeholder comments without posing a 

conflict to the DOE regarding its 

rulemaking schedules. 

III. Public Participation 

A. Submission of Comments 

DOE will accept comments, data, and 

information regarding this notice no 

later than the date provided at the 

beginning of this notice. Comments, 

data, and information submitted to the 

Department’s e-mail address for this 

rulemaking should be provided in 

WordPerfect, Microsoft Word, PDF, or 

text (ASCII) file format. Stakeholders 

should avoid the use of special 

characters or any form of encryption, 

and wherever possible, comments 

should include the electronic signature 

of the author. Absent an electronic 

signature, comments submitted 

electronically must be followed and 

authenticated by submitting a signed 

original paper document to the address 

provided at the beginning of this notice. 

Comments, data, and information 

submitted to the Department via mail or 

hand delivery/courier should include 

one signed original paper copy. No

According to 10 CFR 1004.11, any 

person 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 

status of the information and treat it 

according to its determination. 

Factors of interest to DOE when 

evaluating requests to treat submitted 

information as confidential include: (1) 

A description of the items; (2) whether 

and why such items are customarily 

treated as confidential within the 

industry; (3) whether the information is 

generally known or available from 

public sources; (4) whether the 

information has previously been made 

available to others without obligation 

concerning its confidentiality; (5) an 

explanation of the competitive injury to 

the submitting person which would 

result from public disclosure; (6) a date 

after which such information might no 

longer be considered confidential; and 

(7) why disclosure of the information 

would be contrary to the public interest. 

B. Issues on Which DOE Seeks Comment 

DOE is interested in receiving 

comments and views of interested 

parties concerning its proposed 

rulemaking methodologies as outlined 

in the Framework Document and
