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.
