SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On December 19, 2014, DOE published in the 
Federal Register a notice of proposed rulemaking (NOPR) to update the 
energy conservation standards for residential dishwashers. 79 FR 76142 
. In the NOPR, DOE invited written submission of public comments, to be 
received by February 17, 2015. On an email dated January 16, 2015, the 
Association for Home Appliance Manufacturers (AHAM) requested an 
extension of the public comment period by 60 days. AHAM stated in its 
request that AHAM required additional time to review the published 
analysis in order to prepare and submit comments accordingly. DOE has 
determined that extending the comment period to allow additional time 
for interested parties to submit comments is appropriate based on the 
foregoing reason. DOE believes an additional 30-days, providing a total 
comment period of 90 days, allows sufficient time for submitting inputs 
regarding DOE's analysis. Accordingly, DOE will consider any comments 
received by midnight of March 25, 2015, and deems any comments received 
by that time to be timely submitted.
