General Guidelines for Voluntary Greenhouse Gas Reporting

AGENCY: Office of Policy and International Affairs, Department of 
Energy.

ACTION: Proposed rule; extension of comment period.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: On December 5, 2003, the Department of Energy published a 
Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (68 FR 68204) to revise the General 
Guidelines governing the Voluntary Reporting of Greenhouse Gases 
Program established by Section 1605(b) of the Energy Policy Act of 
1992. The notice announced that the closing date for receiving public 
comments would be February 3, 2004. Several organizations requested 
that the comment period be extended to allow additional time for 
understanding and preparing written comments on the proposed revisions 
to the General Guidelines. The Department has agreed to extend the 
comment period to February 17, 2004. In addition, the Department 
intends, subsequently, to publish for comment a supplemental notice of 
proposed revised General Guidelines, simultaneously with the 
publication for public comment of planned Technical Guidelines.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before February 17, 2004.

ADDRESSES: Please submit written comments to: 1605bgeneral 
[email protected]. Alternatively, written comments may be 
sent to: Mark Friedrichs, PI-40; Office of Policy and International 
Affairs; U.S. Department of Energy; Room 1E190, 1000 Independence Ave.,
