SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On July 9, 2015, the DOE published a request for information in the Federal Register (80 FR 39422). DOE is seeking comments and information from interested parties to inform its policy development related to the possible establishment of a national reserve of power transformers that support the bulk power grid. The focus of the RFI is on the design and implementation of a National Power Transformer Reserve Program. The July 9 notice requested comments and information from interested parties to inform its policy development related to the possible establishment of a national reserve of power transformers that support the bulk power grid by August 24, 2015. DOE is re-opening the comment period to allow additional time for more substantive comment on the significant questions to which DOE is seeking response. DOE believes that re-opening the comment period to allow additional time for interested parties to submit comments is appropriate. Therefore, DOE is re-opening the comment period to provide interested parties additional time to prepare and submit comments and will consider any comments received by the new closing date. All comments received between the original August 24 closing date and the new closing date are considered timely filed, so people who submitted late comments during the original comment period do not need to re-submit comments.
