SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On April 25, 2018, the U.S. Department of

rulemaking to withdraw the cooking top test procedure, while 
maintaining the repeal of the oven test procedure that was part of the 
Final Rule. 83 FR 17944. The notice of petition provided for the 
written submission of comments by June 25, 2018. AHAM requested an 
extension of the public comment period to allow additional time for 
AHAM and its members to provide data responsive to DOE's detailed 
inquiries regarding the petition. For the same reason, GE Appliances 
also requested an extension of the comment period.
    DOE has determined that an extension of the public comment period 
is appropriate to allow interested parties additional time to submit 
comments for DOE's consideration. Thus, DOE is reopening the comment 
period by 21 days, until July 19, 2018. DOE will consider any comments 
received by midnight of July 19, 2018 to be timely submitted.
