SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On December 11, 2014, the U.S. Department 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.
