Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 108 / Wednesday, June 5, 2013 / Notices and technical analysis for submission to the ICC. DOE is requesting stakeholder feedback on its draft public comments prior to submission to the ICC. The process by which DOE developed its draft public comments, as well as instructions for how to submit feedback, is described in the following sections. DOE Development of Public Comments Based on actions taken at the ICC Committee Action Hearings, DOE has identified actions where DOE believes a committee action should be reconsidered for its code change proposals and technical analysis, and drafted associated comments. DOE comments are currently available for public review at https://www. energycodes.gov/development. DOE will not provide responses to individual comments, but will consider any and all comments timely submitted in developing final public comments prior to submission to the ICC. Stakeholder feedback received will be available at https://www.regulations.gov/#!docket Detail;D=EERE-2012-BT-BC-0030. DOE will submit final public comments to ICC on or before the ICC July 15, 2013 deadline. mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES DOE’s Participation at the IECC Public Comment Hearings At ICC hearings, DOE communicates its position on code change proposals and associated public comments as follows: DOE will defend its proposals and public comments. While DOE cannot enter into joint code change proposals or public comments (outside of proposals or public comments submitted jointly with another federal agency), DOE intends to support efficiency concepts from the perspective of its own analysis. DOE may also recognize a code change proposal or public comment to the extent that the code change proposal or provisions within the proposal are the same as a DOE code change proposal or provisions within a DOE code change proposal. Again, however, such an indication would not constitute an endorsement of a proposal or associated public comment. Ex Parte Communications DOE anticipates that it or its contractors may be contacted regarding its code change proposals and associated public comments prior to or during the IECC Public Comment Hearings. While DOE code change proposals and public comments for the IECC are not regulations, DOE will follow ex parte communication policy for such communications. Guidance on ex parte communications was published on January 21, 2009 (74 FR 4685) and VerDate Mar<15>2010 17:49 Jun 04, 2013 Jkt 229001 can be found at https://energy.gov/gc/ downloads/guidance-ex-partecommunications. Note that such communications will be reflected in the public docket consistent with the ex parte guidance. DOE maintains an organizational membership with the ICC. As an ICC governmental member, DOE will exercise voting privileges as defined by the guiding ICC rules and procedures. III. Public Participation in the Development of DOE Public Comments The public is invited to submit comments on DOE’s draft public comments. Comments must be provided by the date specified in the DATES section of this notice using any of the methods described in the ADDRESSES section of this notice. If you submit information that you believe to be exempt by law from public disclosure, you should submit one complete copy, as well as one copy from which the information claimed to be exempt by law from public disclosure has been deleted. DOE is responsible for the final determination with regard to disclosure or nondisclosure of the information and for treating it accordingly under the DOE Freedom of Information regulations at 10 CFR 1004.11. Issued in Washington, DC, on May 30, 2013. Roland Risser, Director, Building Technologies Office, Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy.

    EPA's OECA has responsibility for protecting public health and the 
environment by regulating air pollution from motor vehicles, engines, 
and the fuels used to operate them, and by encouraging travel choices 
that minimize emissions. In order to implement various Clean Air Act 
programs, and to give regulated entities flexibility in meeting 
regulatory requirements (e.g., compliance on average), OECA collects 
compliance reports and other information from the regulated industry. 
Occasionally, the information submitted is claimed to be CBI by persons 
submitting data to EPA. Information submitted under such a claim is 
handled in accordance with EPA's regulations at 40 CFR Part 2, Subpart 
B, and in accordance with EPA procedures that are consistent with those 
regulations. When EPA has determined that disclosure of information 
claimed as CBI to EPA contractors is necessary, the corresponding 
contract must address the appropriate use and handling of the

its personnel who require access to information claimed as CBI to sign 
written non-disclosure agreements before they are granted access to 
data.
    In accordance with 40 CFR 2.301(h), we have determined that the
