[Docket No. EERE-2008-BT-TP-0014]
RIN 1904-AB85


Energy Conservation Program: Public Meeting and Availability of 
the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking for Walk-In Coolers and Walk-In 
Freezers; Date Change

AGENCY: Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, Department of 
Energy.

ACTION: Proposed rulemaking; date change.

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

SUMMARY: The Department of Energy published a proposed rule in the 
Federal Register on January 4, 2010, concerning a public meeting and 
availability of the notice of proposed rulemaking (NOPR) regarding test 
procedures for walk-in coolers and walk-in freezers. This document 
changes the date of the public meeting, the date of the deadline for 
requesting to speak at the public meeting, and the date of the deadline 
for submitting written comments on the framework document because the 
scheduled public meeting of February 11, 2010, was cancelled due to 
inclement weather, which forced a Federal Government shutdown. The 
public meeting will now be held on Wednesday, March 24, 2010, beginning 
at 9 a.m. The close of the comment period has been changed to March 31, 
2010 in order to accommodate comments received at the public meeting 
and comments that may be submitted based on issues raised at the public 
meeting.
