SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On April 

8, 2014, the U.S. Department of Energy 

(DOE) published a request for comment

in the Federal Register (79 FR 19322). 

The notice requested public comment 

from interested parties regarding 

specific as well as general questions and 

information provided for the submission 

of comments by May 23, 2014. The AirConditioning, Heating, and Refrigeration 

Institute (AHRI) requested that DOE 

extend the comment period by 30 days. 

AHRI stated that the additional time is 

necessary in order to allow for review of 

and substantive comment on the 

significant questions to which DOE is 

seeking response. 

Based on AHRI’s request, DOE 

believes that extending the comment 

period to allow additional time for 

interested parties to submit comments is 

appropriate. Therefore, DOE is 

extending the comment period until 

Monday, June 23, 2014 to provide 

interested parties additional time to 

prepare and submit comments and will 

consider any comments received by that 

date.
