Z21.47–2021 while the unit is operating at
the maximum nameplate input.
2.3 For commercial warm air furnaces

For commercial warm air furnaces that are
designed for indoor installation within a

loss determined in section 2.2 of this
appendix by 1.7. For all other commercial
warm air furnaces, including commercial
warm air furnaces that are designed for
outdoor installation (including but not

approved for resistance to wind, rain, or
snow), multiply the jacket loss determined in
section 2.2 of this appendix by 3.3.
2.4 Subtract the jacket loss determined in
section 2.3 of this appendix from the TE
determined in section 1.1 of this appendix to
determine the full load efficiency.
2.5 Setup and test the unit according to
sections 1 through 5 of appendix A to this
subpart, while operating the unit at the
nameplate minimum input rate (i.e., part
load). Calculate TE using the procedure
specified in sections 4 and 5 of appendix A
to this subpart.

Energy Conservation Program: Test
Procedure for Dedicated-Purpose Pool
Pumps and Energy Conservation
Standards for Dedicated-Purpose Pool
Pumps; Reopening of Comment Period
Office of Energy Efficiency and
Renewable Energy, Department of
Energy.
ACTION: Request for information;
reopening of public comment period.
AGENCY:
On January 24, 2022, the U.S.
Department of Energy (‘‘DOE’’)
published two requests for information
(‘‘RFIs’’) regarding dedicated-purpose
pool pumps. DOE published a RFI
regarding test procedures for dedicatedpurpose pool pumps and a RFI
regarding energy conservation standards
for dedicated-purpose pool pumps. The
RFIs each provided an opportunity for
submitting written comments, data, and
information on the proposal by February
23, 2022. DOE received a request from
the Pool and Hut Tub Alliance on
February 9, 2022, and a joint request
from the Pacific Gas and Electric
Company, San Diego Gas and Electric,
and Southern California Edison on
February 11, 2022, each asking DOE to
extend the public comment periods for
both RFIs for 30 additional days. DOE
has reviewed these requests and is
reopening the public comment periods
to allow comments to be submitted until
March 9, 2022.
DATES: The comment periods for the
RFIs published on January 24, 2022 (87
FR 3457; 87 FR 3461) is reopened. DOE
will accept comments, data, and
information regarding these RFIs
received no later than March 9, 2022.
ADDRESSES: Interested persons are
encouraged to submit comments using
the Federal eRulemaking Portal at
www.regulations.gov. Follow the
instructions for submitting comments.
Alternatively, interested persons may
submit comments, identified by docket
number EERE–2022–BT–TP–0003 for
the test procedure RFI and EERE–2022–
BT–STD–0001 for the energy
conservation standard RFI, by any of the
following methods:

the test procedure RFI, include the
docket number EERE–2022–BT–TP–

(‘‘RIN’’) 1904–AE95 in the subject line
of the message. For the energy

(‘‘RIN’’) 1904–AE97 in the subject line
of the message.
No telefacsimiles (‘‘faxes’’) will be
accepted.
Although DOE has routinely accepted
public comment submissions through a
variety of mechanisms, including postal
mail and hand delivery/courier, the
Department has found it necessary to
make temporary modifications to the
comment submission process in light of
the ongoing COVID–19 pandemic. DOE
is currently suspending receipt of public
comments via postal mail and hand
delivery/courier. If a commenter finds
that this change poses an undue
hardship, please contact Appliance
Standards Program staff at (202) 586–
1445 to discuss the need for alternative
arrangements. Once the COVID–19
pandemic health emergency is resolved,
DOE anticipates resuming all of its
regular options for public comment
submission, including postal mail and
hand delivery/courier.
Docket: The dockets, which includes
Federal Register notices, public meeting
attendee lists and transcripts (if a public
meeting is held), comments, and other
supporting documents/materials, are
available for review at
www.regulations.gov. All documents in
the dockets are listed in the
www.regulations.gov index. However,
some documents listed in the index,
such as those containing information
that is exempt from public disclosure,
may not be publicly available.

On
January 24, 2022, DOE published a RFI
undertaking a review to determine
whether amendments are warranted for
the test procedure for dedicated-purpose
pool pumps. 87 FR 3457. DOE identified
certain issues associated with the
currently applicable test procedure on
which DOE is interested in receiving
comment. 87 FR 3457, 3459–3461. On
this date, DOE also published a RFI
initiating an effort to determine whether
to amend the current energy
conservation standards for dedicatedpurpose pool pumps. 87 FR 3461
(January 24, 2022) The RFI solicits
information from the public to help
DOE determine whether amended
standards for dedicated-purpose pool
pumps would result in significant
energy savings and whether such
standards would be technologically
feasible and economically justified. 87
FR 3461. Both RFIs had a comment
period deadline that closed on February
23, 2022.
Interested parties in the matter, the
Pool and Hot Tub Alliance (‘‘PHTA’’)
requested an extension of the public
comment period for 30 additional days
to give time to properly respond to the
technical nature of the questions posed
in both RFIs. PHTA explained that
without the extension, the industry will
be unable to provide all the data and
information being requested within the
current comment period. (PHTA, EERE–
2022–BT–TP–0003, No. 3 at p. 1; PHTA,

RFIs for 30 additional days. The joint
requestors commented that the
extension is necessary due to the extent
of research and outreach needed to
adequately respond to the RFIs and that
they support PHTA in the request for an
additional 30-day extension. (Joint
Requesters, EERE–2022–BT–TP–0003,

DOE has reviewed the requests and is
reopening the comment period to allow
additional time for interested parties to
submit comments. In light of the
submitted requests, DOE believes that
additional time is warranted, and that
reopening the comment period until
March 9, 2022 is sufficient. Therefore,
DOE is reopening the comment period
for both RFIs until March 9, 2022.

Notice of proposed rulemaking
(NPRM).
ACTION:
The FAA proposes to adopt a
new airworthiness directive (AD) for all
MHI RJ Aviation ULC Model CL–600–
2B19 (Regional Jet Series 100 & 440)
airplanes. This proposed AD was
prompted by a report of an oxygen-fed
ground fire event potentially caused by
electrical arcing from a faulty surround
light wire on the third crew member’s
(observer) oxygen mask. This proposed
AD would require an inspection for
discrepancies of the observer’s oxygen
mask stowage box and storage
compartment, oxygen hose connections
and routing, and the associated
electrical harness, and corrective actions
if necessary; and modifying the oxygen
mask flexible lamp harness, mounting
plate, and compartment panel,
including rerouting the electrical
harness and applying protective sealant.
The FAA is proposing this AD to
address the unsafe condition on these
products.
SUMMARY:
The FAA must receive comments
on this proposed AD by April 11, 2022.
ADDRESSES: You may send comments,
using the procedures found in 14 CFR
11.43 and 11.45, by any of the following
