Proposed introductory text and revised paragraph a would eliminate the requirement that a coverage determination rulemaking begins with a notice of proposed determination and allow DOE to seek early stakeholder input through preliminary rulemaking documents; revised paragraphs b and c would eliminate the requirement that final coverage determinations be published prior to the initiation of any test procedure or energy conservation standard rulemaking and at least 180 days prior to publication of a test procedure NOPR; revised paragraph d would allow DOE to propose, if necessary, an amended coverage determination before proceeding with a test procedure or standards rulemaking.
Revised paragraph a would eliminate the requirement for a separate early assessment request for information RFI and clarify that DOE will issue one or more documents during the pre-NOPR stage of a rulemaking; revised paragraphs a and b would clarify public comment periods for pre-NOPR and NOPR documents; revised paragraph a5 would reflect current DOE
rulemaking practice.
