within an unheated space (i.e., isolated 

combustion systems), determine the jacket 

loss using Section 5.40 and Annex J of ANSI 

Z21.47–2021 while the unit is operating at 

the maximum nameplate input. 

2.3 For commercial warm air furnaces 

that are designed only for indoor insulation 

within a heated space, jacket shall be zero. 

For commercial warm air furnaces that are 

designed for indoor installation within a 

heated or unheated space, multiply the jacket 

loss determined in section 2.2 of this 

appendix by 1.7. For all other commercial 

warm air furnaces, including commercial 

warm air furnaces that are designed for 

outdoor installation (including but not 

limited to CWAFs that are weatherized, or 

approved for resistance to wind, rain, or 

snow), multiply the jacket loss determined in 

section 2.2 of this appendix by 3.3. 

2.4 Subtract the jacket loss determined in 

section 2.3 of this appendix from the TE 

determined in section 1.1 of this appendix to 

determine the full load efficiency. 

2.5 Setup and test the unit according to 

sections 1 through 5 of appendix A to this 

subpart, while operating the unit at the 

nameplate minimum input rate (i.e., part 

load). Calculate TE using the procedure 

specified in sections 4 and 5 of appendix A 

to this subpart. 

2.6 For commercial warm air furnaces 

that are designed for outdoor installation 

(including but not limited to CWAFs that are 

weatherized, or approved for resistance to 

wind, rain, or snow), or indoor installation

SUMMARY: On January 24, 2022, the U.S. 

Department of Energy (‘‘DOE’’) 

published two requests for information 

(‘‘RFIs’’) regarding dedicated-purpose 

pool pumps. DOE published a RFI 

regarding test procedures for dedicatedpurpose pool pumps and a RFI 

regarding energy conservation standards 

for dedicated-purpose pool pumps. The 

RFIs each provided an opportunity for 

submitting written comments, data, and 

information on the proposal by February 

23, 2022. DOE received a request from 

the Pool and Hut Tub Alliance on 

February 9, 2022, and a joint request 

from the Pacific Gas and Electric 

Company, San Diego Gas and Electric, 

and Southern California Edison on 

February 11, 2022, each asking DOE to 

extend the public comment periods for 

both RFIs for 30 additional days. DOE 

has reviewed these requests and is 

reopening the public comment periods 

to allow comments to be submitted until 

March 9, 2022. 

DATES: The comment periods for the 

RFIs published on January 24, 2022 (87 

FR 3457; 87 FR 3461) is reopened. DOE 

will accept comments, data, and 

information regarding these RFIs 

received no later than March 9, 2022. 

ADDRESSES: Interested persons are 

encouraged to submit comments using 

the Federal eRulemaking Portal at 

www.regulations.gov. Follow the 

instructions for submitting comments.

accepted. 

Although DOE has routinely accepted 

public comment submissions through a 

variety of mechanisms, including postal 

mail and hand delivery/courier, the 

Department has found it necessary to 

make temporary modifications to the 

comment submission process in light of 

the ongoing COVID–19 pandemic. DOE 

is currently suspending receipt of public 

comments via postal mail and hand 

delivery/courier. If a commenter finds 

that this change poses an undue 

hardship, please contact Appliance 

Standards Program staff at (202) 586– 

1445 to discuss the need for alternative 

arrangements. Once the COVID–19 

pandemic health emergency is resolved, 

DOE anticipates resuming all of its 

regular options for public comment 

submission, including postal mail and 

hand delivery/courier. 

Docket: The dockets, which includes 

Federal Register notices, public meeting 

attendee lists and transcripts (if a public 

meeting is held), comments, and other 

supporting documents/materials, are 

available for review at 

www.regulations.gov. All documents in 

the dockets are listed in the 

www.regulations.gov index. However, 

some documents listed in the index, 

such as those containing information

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On 

January 24, 2022, DOE published a RFI 

undertaking a review to determine 

whether amendments are warranted for 

the test procedure for dedicated-purpose 

pool pumps. 87 FR 3457. DOE identified 

certain issues associated with the 

currently applicable test procedure on 

which DOE is interested in receiving 

comment. 87 FR 3457, 3459–3461. On 

this date, DOE also published a RFI 

initiating an effort to determine whether 

to amend the current energy 

conservation standards for dedicatedpurpose pool pumps. 87 FR 3461 

(January 24, 2022) The RFI solicits 

information from the public to help 

DOE determine whether amended 

standards for dedicated-purpose pool 

pumps would result in significant 

energy savings and whether such 

standards would be technologically 

feasible and economically justified. 87 

FR 3461. Both RFIs had a comment 

period deadline that closed on February 

23, 2022. 

Interested parties in the matter, the 

Pool and Hot Tub Alliance (‘‘PHTA’’) 

requested an extension of the public 

comment period for 30 additional days 

to give time to properly respond to the 

technical nature of the questions posed 

in both RFIs. PHTA explained that 

without the extension, the industry will 

be unable to provide all the data and 

information being requested within the 

current comment period. (PHTA, EERE– 

2022–BT–TP–0003, No. 3 at p. 1; PHTA, 

EERE–2022–BT–STD–0001, No. 3 at p. 

1) 1 Also, the Pacific Gas and Electric 

Company, San Diego Gas and Electric, 

and Southern California Edison (‘‘Joint 

Requesters’’) requested an extension of 

the public comment period for both 

RFIs for 30 additional days. The joint 

requestors commented that the 

extension is necessary due to the extent 

of research and outreach needed to 

adequately respond to the RFIs and that 

they support PHTA in the request for an 

additional 30-day extension. (Joint 

Requesters, EERE–2022–BT–TP–0003, 

No. 2 at p. 1, Joint Requesters, EERE– 

2022–BT–STD–0001, No. 2 at p.1) 

DOE has reviewed the requests and is 

reopening the comment period to allow 

additional time for interested parties to 

submit comments. In light of the 

submitted requests, DOE believes that 

additional time is warranted, and that 

reopening the comment period until 

March 9, 2022 is sufficient. Therefore, 

DOE is reopening the comment period 

for both RFIs until March 9, 2022.

Airworthiness Directives; MHI RJ 

Aviation ULC (Type Certificate 

Previously Held by Bombardier, Inc.) 

Airplanes 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking 

(NPRM). 

SUMMARY: The FAA proposes to adopt a 

new airworthiness directive (AD) for all 

MHI RJ Aviation ULC Model CL–600– 

2B19 (Regional Jet Series 100 & 440) 

airplanes. This proposed AD was 

prompted by a report of an oxygen-fed 

ground fire event potentially caused by 

electrical arcing from a faulty surround 

light wire on the third crew member’s 

(observer) oxygen mask. This proposed 

AD would require an inspection for 

discrepancies of the observer’s oxygen 

mask stowage box and storage 

compartment, oxygen hose connections 

and routing, and the associated 

electrical harness, and corrective actions 

if necessary; and modifying the oxygen 

mask flexible lamp harness, mounting 

plate, and compartment panel, 

including rerouting the electrical 

harness and applying protective sealant. 

The FAA is proposing this AD to 

address the unsafe condition on these 

products. 

DATES: The FAA must receive comments 

on this proposed AD by April 11, 2022. 

ADDRESSES: You may send comments, 

using the procedures found in 14 CFR 

11.43 and 11.45, by any of the following 

methods:
