Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 183 / Friday, September 24, 2021 / Proposed Rules collectively referred to as the Gas Industry Commenters, requesting an additional 60 days for public comment in order to consider the issues raised in the NOPIR.1 The Gas Industry Commenters requested additional time due to their assertion that DOEs proposal raises various factual, technical, economic, regulatory, and administrative issues that require significant time to review and to respond in a meaningful manner. The Gas Industry Commenters also pointed out the length of the comment periods under the proceeding that culminated in the January 2021 final interpretive rule, as well as the comment extensions that DOE granted throughout that interpretive rulemaking process.
Furthermore, the Gas Industry Commenters noted that stakeholders are currently engaged in multiple DOErelated proceedings, both before the agency and the court, and each matter requires sufficient engagement. The Gas Industry Commenters also argued that the COVID19 emergency continues to adversely impact stakeholder engagement and expressed their belief that a sixty-day comment extension will not cause a significant delay in DOEs consideration of the record and any next steps.
In regard to the assertion that the August 2021 NOPIR raises various issues that require significant time to review and respond to, DOE notes the NOPIR does not raise new issues but rather proposes to return to DOEs longstanding, historical interpretation. DOE
further notes that the various factual, technical, economic, regulatory, and administrative issues are well understood, have been discussed at length, and have been documented in a number of rulemaking dockets.2 Also, as noted in the August 2021 NOPIR, Executive Order E.O. 13990, Protecting Public Health and the Environment and Restoring Science to Tackle the Climate Crisis, 86 FR 7037
Jan. 25, 2021, triggered the Departments reevaluation of the January 2021 final interpretive rule. 86
FR 48049, 4805048051 August 27, 2021.
After carefully reviewing the submission, DOE has considered the urgency required under E.O. 13990
along with the competing benefit to stakeholders in providing additional time to review and comment on the 1 Available at www.regulations.gov/comment/

NOPIR. Accordingly, in seeking to balance the interests at issue, DOE has determined that it is appropriate to partially grant this request and to extend the comment period by 15 days, thereby allowing additional time for interested parties to prepare and submit comments. Therefore, DOE is extending the comment period for the NOPIR and will accept comments, data, and information on this matter received on and before October 12, 2021.
Accordingly, DOE will consider any comments received by this date to be timely submitted.
