ACTION: Reopening of public comment period. AGENCY: On October 21, 2014, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) published a notice of proposed determination (NOPD) regarding energy conservation standards for high-intensity discharge (HID) lamps in the Federal Register. This notice tentatively determined that potential standards for three subcategories of HID lamps are either not technologically feasible or not economically justified. On December 22, 2014, DOE received a joint comment from the Appliance Standards Awareness Project (ASAP), Northwest Energy Efficiency Alliance (NEEA), the American Council for an EnergyEfficient Economy (ACEEE), and the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) (Joint Comment), opposing DOE’s proposed determination. This document announces a reopening of the public comment period for submitting comments and data in response to the Joint Comment. The comment period is extended to March 6, 2015. DATES: DOE will accept comments, data, and information in response to the Joint Comment received no later than March 6, 2015.

The full comment can be found in Docket No. EERE–2010–BT–STD–0043–43. The Joint Comment opposed DOE’s proposed determination for the following reasons: 1. Energy conservation standards for the [400 watt] metal halide representative lamp type are technically feasible and economically justified, and would result in significant energy savings (Joint Comment, No. 43 at p. 1); 1 2. DOE’s analysis fails to properly consider the likely consumer responses to replacing existing HID lamps (Joint Comment, No. 43 at p. 2); and 3. DOE’s analysis should be based on mean lumen output and not on initial lumen output (Joint Comment, No. 43 at p. 3).

AD 2014–19–05 requires an initial one-time vibration check of the engine accessory gearbox (AGB) on certain higher risk Arriel 1 and Arriel 2 model engines and repetitive vibration checks for all Arriel 1 and Arriel 2 engines. Since we issued AD 2014–19– 05, we determined that a Technical Instruction (TI) number and a Test Bed Acceptance Test Specifications number in the Actions and Compliance and the Related Information sections are incorrect. This proposed AD would correct these numbers. We are proposing this AD to prevent failure of the engine AGB, which could lead to inflight shutdown and damage to the engine, which may result in damage to the aircraft.

The notice provided for the submission of written comments by December 
22, 2014.
    On December 22, 2014, DOE received a joint comment from the 
Appliance Standards Awareness Project (ASAP), Northwest Energy 
Efficiency Alliance (NEEA), the American Council for an Energy-
Efficient Economy (ACEEE), and the Natural Resources Defense Council 
(NRDC) (Joint Comment). The full comment can be found in Docket No. 
EERE-2010-BT-STD-0043-43. The Joint Comment opposed DOE's proposed 
determination for the following reasons:
    1. Energy conservation standards for the [400 watt] metal halide 
representative lamp type are technically feasible and economically 
justified, and would result in significant energy savings (Joint 
Comment, No. 43 at p. 1); \1\

comment: (1) In the Joint Comment; (2) in the document number 43 of 
the docket; and (3) on page 1 of that document.

    2. DOE's analysis fails to properly consider the likely consumer 
responses to replacing existing HID lamps (Joint Comment, No. 43 at p.
