SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On December 11, 2014, the U.S. Department of 
Energy (DOE) published a notice of public meeting and availability of 
the preliminary TSD in the Federal Register to make available and 
invite comments on the preliminary analysis for establishing energy 
conservation standards for GSLs. 79 FR 73503. The notice provided for 
the written submission of comments by February 9, 2015, and oral 
comments were also accepted at a public meeting held on January 20, 
2015. The National Electrical Manufacturers Association requested an 
extension of the public comment period to ensure adequate time to 
consider the preliminary technical support document and public meeting 
presentation, and to prepare and submit comments accordingly.
    DOE has determined that an extension of the public comment period 
is appropriate to allow interested parties additional time to submit 
comments for DOE's consideration. Thus, DOE is extending the comment 
period by 14 days. DOE will consider any comments received by midnight 
of February 23, 2015 to be timely submitted.

    Issued in Washington, DC, on January 26, 2015.
Kathleen B. Hogan,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Energy Efficiency, Energy Efficiency and 
Renewable Energy.
