**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :**  On March 15, 2013, DOE published a notice of public meeting and availability of the Framework Document in the Federal Register (78 FR 16443) to make available and invite comments on the Framework Document regarding energy conservation standards for residential ceiling fans and ceiling fan light kits. That notice set a deadline for the submission of written comments by April 29, 2013, and comments were also accepted at a public meeting held at DOE Headquarters on March 22, 2013. The American Lighting Association (ALA) requested an extension of the comment period. ALA stated the additional time is necessary for interested parties to consider and respond to the Framework Document and public meeting presentation, in order to submit meaningful and useful

comments.

After careful consideration of ALA’s request, DOE has determined that an extension of the public comment period is appropriate and in the public interest based on the foregoing reasoning. Accordingly, DOE is hereby extending the comment period and will consider any comments received by midnight of June 14, 2013 (with any comments received by that time deemed to be timely submitted).

Correction

In the **ADDRESSES** section of the March 15, 2013 Federal Register notice announcing the availability of the Framework Document for residential ceiling fans and ceiling fan light kits, DOE mistakenly listed the docket number for this rulemaking as EERE– 2011–BT–STD–0045 and EERE–2010– BT–STD–0045. However, the initial heading to the notice did recite the correct docket number, which is EERE– 2012–BT–STD–0045. This notice hereby corrects the errant docket numbers to all read as EERE–2012–BT–STD–0045.

Issued in Washington, DC, on April 26,

2013. Kathleen B. Hogan, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Energy Efficiency, Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy.
