SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On 

February 12, 2014, the U.S. Department 

of Energy (DOE) published a request for 

information (RFI) and notice of 

document availability document in the 

Federal Register (79 FR 8337) initiating 

the rulemaking and data collection 

process to consider new and amended 

energy conservation standards for 

products included in the definition of 

conventional cooking products. The RFI 

requested public comment from 

interested parties regarding specific as 

well as general questions and provided 

for the submission of comments by 

March 14, 2014. Thereafter, the 

Association of Home Appliance 

Manufacturers (AHAM) requested that 

DOE extend the comment period by 30 

days. AHAM 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 AHAM’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 

April 14, 2014 to provide interested 

parties additional time to prepare and 

submit comments. Accordingly, DOE 

will consider any comments received by 

April 14, 2014 to be timely submitted. 

Issued in Washington, DC, on February 26, 

2014.

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Energy
