February 28, 2019. At the meeting, DOE noted that it would post to the
docket additional supporting background data for the lamp data analysis
presented.\1\ In light of the additional information to be supplied by
DOE, the Appliance Standards Awareness Project requested an extension
of the public comment period. DOE has reviewed the request and
considered the benefit to stakeholders in providing additional time to
review the supporting data and provide comments to DOE on its proposed
rulemaking. Accordingly, DOE has determined that an extension of the
comment period is appropriate, and is hereby extending the comment
period by 21 days, until May 3, 2019.
