SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On May

2001, the National Energy Policy

Development Group (NEPD Group)

reported a National Energy Policy to the

President. One of the recommendations

called for the President to direct the

Secretary of Energy to take steps to

improve the energy efficiency of

appliances. The recommendation

included supporting the existing

appliance standards program, setting

higher standards where technologically

feasible and economically justified, and

expanding the scope of the program to

include additional consumer products

and commercial and industrial

equipment.

The main focus of the meeting will be

to discuss the process that DOE should

use in setting priorities for the existing

program and any possible expansion of

the scope of the program to include

additional products and equipment. The

Department is interested in receiving

comments on its proposed priorities for

current standards rulemakings and

suggestions on the criteria it should use

to reach decisions on the possible

expansion of the program. The

Department is also interested in

receiving comments on the factors, data

and analysis methods that might be

used by DOE in its decision making

process. Additional products and

equipment could be addressed through

voluntary programs, consumer

education, legislation and/or regulation.

Indeed, there are bills being drafted and

introduced in the Congress which

would direct DOE to address additional

products and equipment. Thus, the

timing of this meeting would allow DOE

to do some early planning in

anticipation of a number of possible

new activities.

Today’s notice, the subject lists of

current rulemakings and possible new

products and equipment, and the

planned meeting mark the next steps in

seeking stakeholder input into the

rulemaking process. The lists can be

found on the following web-site: http:/

/www.eren.doe.gov/buildings/

codes_standards/index.htm.

The meeting will be conducted in an

informal, conference style. There shall

be no discussion of proprietary

information, costs or prices, market

shares, or other commercial matters

regulated by the U.S. antitrust laws.

After the meeting and expiration of

the period for submitting written

statements, the Department will begin

consideration of the comments received.

If you would like to participate in the

meeting, receive meeting materials, or

be added to the DOE mailing list to

receive future notices and information

regarding the energy conservation

program for consumer products and

commercial and industrial equipment,

please contact Ms. Brenda EdwardsJones at (202) 586–2945.

Issued in Washington, DC, on August 22,

2001.

Assistant Secretary for Energy Efficiency and

Renewable Energy.

AGENCY: Federal Aviation

Administration, DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking

(NPRM).

SUMMARY: This document proposes the

adoption of a new airworthiness

directive (AD) that is applicable to

certain McDonnell Douglas Model MD–

wiring in the left-hand tunnel area of

the forward cargo compartment for

evidence of chafing, and repair, if

necessary. This action is necessary to

prevent such chafing, which could

result in subsequent shorting to

structure, and consequent smoke and

possible fire in the airplane. This action

is intended to address the identified

unsafe condition.
