SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On January 31, 2017, the United States 
Department of Energy (``DOE'') temporarily postponed the effective date 
of its final rule amending the energy conservation standards for 
ceiling fans published in the Federal Register on January 19, 2017. See 
82 FR 8806. The January 31st rule temporarily postponed the effective 
date of the final rule by 60 days, starting from January 20, 2017. The 
temporary 60-day delay in effective date was necessary to give the 
newly appointed Secretary of Energy (Secretary) the opportunity for 
further review and consideration of new regulations. However, the 
Secretary was not confirmed and did not begin work in his position 
until March 3, 2017. Therefore, DOE further temporarily postponed the 
effective date of that energy conservation standards regulation until 
September 30, 2017, to allow the Secretary the opportunity to 
accomplish this task. See 82 FR 14427, Mar. 21, 2017.
    The Secretary has completed his review of the energy conservation 
standards regulation for questions of fact, law, and policy, and 
determined that the rule will be implemented without change. In this 
notice, DOE confirms that the effective date of the final rule amending 
the energy conservation standards for ceiling fans remains September 
30, 2017, and that the compliance date remains January 21, 2020, as 
originally published.
