Correction

    In direct final rule document FR 2011-14557 appearing on page 
37408, in the issue of Monday, June 27, 2011, the following corrections 
should be made:
    1. On page 37540, in the third column, the first two paragraphs 
under section B, ``Review Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act,'' are 
corrected to read as follows:
    The Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.) requires 
preparation of an initial regulatory flexibility analysis (IRFA) for 
any rule that by law must be proposed for public comment, unless the 
agency certifies that the rule, if promulgated, will not have a 
significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. 
As required by Executive Order 13272, ``Proper Consideration of Small 
Entities in Agency Rulemaking,'' 67 FR 53461 (August 16, 2002), U.S. 
Department of Energy (DOE) published procedures and policies on 
February 19, 2003, to ensure that the potential impacts of its rules on 
small entities are properly considered during the rulemaking process. 
68 FR 7990. DOE has made its procedures and policies available on the 
Office of the

[[Page 39246]]

General Counsel's Web site (http://www.gc.doe.gov).
    DOE reviewed today's direct final rule and corresponding NOPR 
pursuant to the Regulatory Flexibility Act and the procedures and 
policies published on February 19, 2003. 68 FR 7990. Set forth below is 
DOE's initial regulatory flexibility analysis for the standards 
proposed in the NOPR, published elsewhere in today's Federal Register. 
DOE will consider any comments on the analysis or economic impacts of 
the rule in determining whether to proceed with the direct final rule. 
DOE will publish its final regulatory flexibility analysis (FRFA), 
including responses to any comments received, in a separate notice at 
the conclusion of the 110-day comment period. A description of the 
reasons why DOE is adopting the standards in this rule and the 
objectives of and legal basis for the rule are set forth elsewhere in 
the preamble and not repeated here.

    Issued in Washington, DC, on June 29, 2011.
Kathleen B. Hogan,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Energy Efficiency, Office of Technology 
Development, Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy.
