SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background: The Department of 

Energy (DOE) has decided to use the 

negotiated rulemaking process to 

develop proposed energy efficiency 

standards for distribution transformers. 

The primary reasons for using the 

negotiated rulemaking process for 

developing a proposed Federal standard 

is that stakeholders strongly support a 

consensual rulemaking effort and DOE 

believes such a regulatory negotiation 

process will be less adversarial and 

better suited to resolving the complex 

technical issues raised by this 

rulemaking. An important virtue of 

negotiated rulemaking is that it allows 

expert dialog that is much better than 

traditional techniques at getting the 

facts and issues right and will result in 

a proposed rule that will effectively 

reflect Congressional intent. 

A regulatory negotiation will enable 

DOE to engage in direct and sustained 

dialog with informed, interested, and 

affected parties when drafting the 

proposed regulation that is then 

presented to the public for comment. 

Gaining this early understanding of all 

parties’ perspectives allows DOE to 

address key issues at an earlier stage of 

the process, thereby allowing more time 

for an iterative process to resolve issues. 

A rule drafted by negotiation with 

informed and affected parties is more 

likely to maximize benefits while 

minimizing unnecessary costs than one 

conceived or drafted without the 

opportunity for sustained dialog among 

interested and expert parties. DOE 

anticipates that there will be a need for 

fewer substantive changes to a proposed 

rule developed under a regulatory 

negotiation process prior to the 

publication of a final rule. 

To the maximum extent possible, 

consistent with the legal obligations of 

the Department, DOE will use the 

consensus of the advisory committee or 

subcommittee as the basis for the rule 

the Department proposes for public 

notice and comment. 

Purpose of the Meeting: To continue 

the process of seeking consensus on a 

proposed rule for setting standards for 

the energy efficiency of liquid immersed 

and medium- and low-voltage dry type 

distribution transformers, as authorized 

by the Energy Policy Conservation Act 

(EPCA) of 1975, as amended, 42 U.S.C. 

6313(a)(6)(C) and 6317(a). 

Tentative Agenda: The MV Group 

will meet at 9 a.m. and will conclude at 

5 p.m. on Wednesday, October 12, 2011, 

and reconvene from 9 a.m. through 

12 p.m. on Thursday, October 13, 2011. 

The LV Group will meet from 2 p.m. 

through 5 p.m. on Thursday, October 

13, 2011, and reconvene on Friday, 

October 14, 2011, from 9 a.m. through 

5 p.m. The tentative agenda for the 

meetings includes continued discussion 

regarding the analyses of alternate 

standard levels and negotiation efforts 

to address the perceived issues. 

Public Participation: Members of the 

public are welcome to observe the 

business of the meetings and to make 

comments related to the issues being 

discussed at appropriate points, when 

called on by the moderator. The

ACTION: Notice of public hearing. 

SUMMARY: The Wage and Hour Division 

(WHD) will hold a public hearing on its 

Notice of Proposed Rulemaking 

(NPRM), Child Labor Regulations, 

Orders and Statements of Interpretation; 

Child Labor Violations—Civil Money 

Penalties to give interested persons an 

opportunity to present comments on the 

proposed rule. In the NPRM, the 

Department proposes to revise the child 

labor regulations issued pursuant to the 

Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) which 

set forth the criteria for the permissible 

employment of minors under 16 years of 

age in agricultural and under 18 years 

in nonagricultural occupations. The 

NPRM proposes to implement specific 

recommendations made by the National 

Institute for Occupational Safety and 

Health, increase parity between the 

agricultural and nonagricultural child 

labor provisions, and also address other 

areas that can be improved, which were 

identified by the Department’s own 

enforcement actions. The NPRM was 

published in the Federal Register on 

September 2, 2011, and the comment 

period runs through November 1, 2011. 

DATES: The public hearing will be held 

on October 14, 2011 from 10 a.m.– 

12 noon, EST in Tampa, Florida. All 

requests to speak at the hearing must be 

received by 5 p.m. EST, October 11, 

2011.
