SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) published a proposed determination that commercial and industrial fans and blowers (fans) meet the definition of covered equipment under the Energy Policy and Conservation Act of 1975, as amended (76 FR 37628, June 28, 2011). As part of its further consideration of this determination, DOE is analyzing potential energy conservation standards for fans. DOE published a notice of public meeting and availability of the framework document to consider such standards (78 FR 7306, Feb. 1, 2013). The framework document requested public comment from interested parties and provided for the submission of comments by March 18, 2013. Thereafter, Air Movement and Control Association International (AMCA), on behalf of itself and its affiliates, requested an extension of the public comment period by 45 days and DOE extended the initial comment period until May 2, 2013. AMCA further requested an additional extension of the public comment period by 30 days. AMCA stated that the additional time is necessary to conduct a rapid and intensive research project in order to provide DOE with better information at an early stage of the regulatory process, making subsequent phases more efficient and effective. Based on AMCA’s request, DOE believes that extending the comment period to allow additional time for interested parties to submit comments is appropriate. Therefore, DOE is extending the comment period until June 3, 2013 to provide interested parties additional time to prepare and submit comments. Accordingly, DOE will consider any comments received by June 3, 2013 to be timely submitted.

BILLING CODE 6450–01–P BUREAU OF CONSUMER FINANCIAL PROTECTION 12 CFR Part 1075 [Docket No. CFPB–2013–0012] RIN 3170–AA38 Consumer Financial Civil Penalty Fund Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection. AGENCY: PO 00000 Frm 00006 Fmt 4702 Sfmt 4702 26545 Proposed rule with request for public comment. ACTION: SUMMARY: The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank Act or Act) establishes a ‘‘Consumer Financial Civil Penalty Fund’’ (Civil Penalty Fund) into which the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (Bureau) must deposit any civil penalty it obtains against any person in any judicial or administrative action under Federal consumer financial laws. Under the Act, funds in the Civil Penalty Fund may be used for payments to the victims of activities for which civil penalties have been imposed under Federal consumer financial laws. In addition, to the extent that such victims cannot be located or such payments are otherwise not practicable, the Bureau may use funds in the Civil Penalty Fund for the purpose of consumer education and financial literacy programs. This proposal is related to a final rule published elsewhere in today’s Federal Register. That final rule implements the statutory Civil Penalty Fund provisions by articulating the Bureau’s interpretation of what kinds of payments to victims are appropriate and by establishing procedures for allocating funds for such payments to victims and for consumer education and financial literacy programs. This notice of proposed rulemaking seeks comments on possible revisions, adjustments, or refinements to the rule. DATES: Comments must be received on or before July 8, 2013 to be assured of consideration. ADDRESSES: You may submit comments, identified by Docket No. CFPB–2013– 0012 or Regulatory Identification Number (RIN) 3170–AA38, by any of the following methods: • Electronic: https:// www.regulations.gov. Follow the instructions for submitting comments. • Mail/Hand Delivery/Courier: Monica Jackson, Office of the Executive Secretary, Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, 1700 G Street NW., Washington, DC 20552. Instructions: All submissions should include the agency name and docket number or RIN for this rulemaking. Because paper mail in the Washington, DC area and at the Bureau is subject to delay, commenters are encouraged to submit comments electronically. In general, all comments received will be posted without change to https:// www.regulations.gov. In addition, comments will be available for public inspection and copying at 1700 G Street NW., Washington, DC 20552, on official business days between the hours of 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. Eastern Time.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) 
published a proposed determination that commercial and industrial fans 
and blowers (fans) meet the definition of covered equipment under the 
Energy Policy and Conservation Act of 1975, as amended (76 FR 37628, 
June 28, 2011). As part of its further consideration of this 
determination, DOE is analyzing potential energy conservation standards 
for fans. DOE published a notice of public meeting and availability of 
the framework document to consider such standards (78 FR 7306, Feb. 1, 
2013). The framework document requested public comment from interested 
parties and provided for the submission of comments by March 18, 2013. 
Thereafter, Air Movement and Control Association International (AMCA), 
on behalf of itself and its affiliates, requested an extension of the 
public comment period by 45 days and DOE extended the initial comment 
period until May 2, 2013. AMCA further requested an additional 
extension of the public comment period by 30 days. AMCA stated that the 
additional time is necessary to conduct a rapid and intensive research 
project in order to provide DOE with better information at an early

until June 3, 2013 to provide interested parties additional time to 
prepare and submit comments. Accordingly, DOE will consider any 
comments received by June 3, 2013 to be timely submitted.
