Submitting comments via email.
Comments and documents submitted via email also will be posted to www.regulations.gov. If you do not want your personal contact information to be publicly viewable, do not include it in your comment or any accompanying documents. Instead, provide your contact information on a cover letter.
Include your first and last names, email address, telephone number, and optional mailing address. The cover letter will not be publicly viewable as long as it does not include any comments.
Include contact information each time you submit comments, data, documents, and other information to DOE. No faxes will be accepted.
Comments, data, and other information submitted to DOE
electronically should be provided in PDF preferred, Microsoft Word or Excel, WordPerfect, or text ASCII file format. Provide documents that are not secured, written in English and free of any defects or viruses. Documents should not contain special characters or any form of encryption and, if possible, they should carry the electronic signature of the author.
Campaign form letters. Please submit campaign form letters by the originating organization in batches of between 50 to 500 form letters per PDF or as one form letter with a list of supporters names compiled into one or more PDFs. This reduces comment processing and posting time.
Confidential Business Information.
Pursuant to 10 CFR 1004.11, any person submitting information that he or she believes to be confidential and exempt by law from public disclosure should submit via email two well-marked copies: One copy of the document marked confidential including all the information believed to be confidential, and one copy of the document marked

non-confidential with the information believed to be confidential deleted.
Submit these documents via email to PlumbingProducts2017TP0028@
ee.doe.gov or on a CD, if feasible. DOE
will make its own determination about the confidential status of the information and treat it according to its determination.
It is DOEs policy that all comments may be included in the public docket, without change and as received, including any personal information provided in the comments except information deemed to be exempt from public disclosure.
C. Issues on Which DOE Seeks Comment Although DOE welcomes comments on any aspect of this proposal, DOE is particularly interested in receiving comments and views of interested parties concerning the following issues:
1 DOE requests comment on its proposal to incorporate by reference ASME A112.19.22018.
2 DOE requests comment on its proposal to remove references to section 7.1 and 8.2 of ASME A112.19.22018 in Appendix T.
3 DOE requests comment on the proposal to replace the term toilet with water closet in 10 CFR 430.32q.
4 DOE requests comment on the proposal to replace the term electromechanical hydraulic toilet with electromechanical hydraulic water closet, while retaining the existing regulatory definition of electromechanical hydraulic toilet.
5 DOE requests comment on the proposal to replace all instances of blowout toilet and blowout water closet in Appendix T and 10 CFR
430.32q with blowout bowl water closets.
6 DOE requests comment on the proposal to adopt the term blowout action and its corresponding definition from ASME A112.19.22018.
7 DOE requests comment on its proposal to adopt the definitions from ASME A112.19.22018 for the term gravity flush tank water closet.
8 DOE requests comment on the proposal to replace the term gravity tank-type toilets with gravity flush tank water closets in its regulations.
9 DOE requests comment on its proposal to adopt the definition from ASME A112.19.22018 for the term siphonic bowl.
10 DOE requests comment on the proposal to replace the term siphonic water closets with siphonic bowl water closets in its regulations.
11 DOE requests comment on the proposal to adopt the term siphonic

action and its corresponding definition from ASME A112.19.22018.
12 DOE requests comment on the proposal to define the term trough-type urinal as a urinal designed for simultaneous use by two or more people. DOE specifically requests comment on whether the proposed definition would include products not currently understood to be trough-type urinals, or whether it would exclude products currently understood to be trough-type urinals. In addition, DOE
requests comments on whether any physical characteristics or features differentiate trough-type urinals from other urinals.
13 DOE requests comment on whether the current test method of averaging of results from the different test pressures to determine the water use of a water closet or urinal is representative of an average use cycle or period of use, and is not unduly burdensome to conduct.
14 DOE requests comment and data regarding water pressures at product installation sites, and information on how water pressures vary in different locations across the nation.
15 DOE requests comment on removing the static pressure requirements in Appendix T section 3.a.ii. and instead referencing the static pressure requirement provided in Table 5 of ASME A112.19.22018.
16 DOE requests comment on replacing the static pressure requirements in Appendix T section 3.b from section 8.6.4 of ASME A112.19.2
2008 with Table 6 of ASME A112.19.2
2018.
17 DOE requests comment on maintaining the current instrument resolution specifications. DOE also requests comment on whether it should specify implementing an instrument resolution of 0.01 to match the DOE
reporting requirements, and the associated testing or reporting burden associated with such a change.
18 DOE requests comment on the level of precision used by industry and test laboratories for measuring and rounding when performing tests for water consumption. Specifically, DOE
requests comment on whether the apparatus used for testing generally has a resolution of 0.25 L 0.07 gal or whether the resolution is more precise.
19 DOE requests comment on the proposed updates for water closets and urinals to replace maximum permissible water use allowed with water use in 10 CFR 430.23u and v, respectively.
20 DOE requests comment on the proposal to replace the term instrumentation with apparatus.
