comments on the preliminary analysis 

for ceiling fans energy conservation 

standards. 79 FR 58290. The notice 

provided for the written submission of 

comments by November 28, 2014, and

Energy Conservation Program for 

Certain Commercial and Industrial 

Equipment: Gas Compressors 

AGENCY: Office of Energy Efficiency and 

Renewable Energy, Department of 

Energy. 

ACTION: Notice of public meeting. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of 

Energy (DOE) is considering 

establishing energy conservation 

standards for commercial and industrial 

compressors. To date, DOE has 

considered energy conservation 

standards only for compressors 

intended to compress air, rather than 

natural gas. As a result, DOE’s current 

efforts have focused on air compressors. 

However, DOE is also aware that 

compressors used to compress natural 

gas may also use a substantial amount 

of energy. To improve its understanding 

of both the technology and market of 

natural gas compressors, DOE will hold
