[[Page 52211]]

document also announced a public meeting to receive comment about the 
proposed standards and associated analyses and results. 80 FR 39486. 
The document provided for the submission of written comments by 
September 8, 2015, and oral comments were also accepted at a public 
meeting held on July 28, 2015.
    The Plumbing Manufacturers International requested, by letter dated 
August 13, 2015, an extension of the public comment period for the 
proposed rulemaking, in view of the scope of the proposed rulemaking, 
technical nature, and amount of data requested.
    DOE has determined that an extension of the public comment period 
for the notice of proposed rulemaking is appropriate to allow 
interested parties additional time to submit comments for DOE's 
consideration. Thus, DOE is extending the comment period by 15 days. 
DOE will consider any comments received prior to September 23, 2015, to 
be timely submitted.
