SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: DOE published a notice of proposed determination (‘‘NOPD’’) on December 14, 2020, in which DOE initially determined that current standards for consumer conventional cooking products do not need to be amended. 85 FR 80982. DOE stated in the December 2020 NOPD that it would reevaluate the energy savings associated with identified technology options for the VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:22 Mar 29, 2023 Jkt 259001 product if it considered performance standards in a future rulemaking. Id. at 85 FR 81004. Subsequently, on August 22, 2022, DOE published a final rule establishing a test procedure for conventional cooking tops. 87 FR 51492. As a result of this new test procedure, DOE issued the February 2023 SNOPR, in which DOE reevaluated its analysis from the December 2020 NOPD and tentatively concluded that amended energy conservation standards for consumer conventional cooking products are technologically feasible and economically justified. 88 FR 6818. The February 2023 SNOPR announced a public meeting to receive comment on the proposed standards and provided for the written submission of comments by April 3, 2023. Id. On March 10, 2023, DOE received a request from the Association of Home Appliance Manufacturers (‘‘AHAM’’) to extend the written comment period on the February 2023 SNOPR by 45 days. AHAM stated that there are a significant number of other regulatory comment periods open simultaneously, many of which impact the same manufacturers, and all of which impact AHAM’s ability to work with their members to discuss and analyze the proposed rule and provide meaningful comment to DOE. (AHAM, No. 764). Given the unique circumstances of this product, which include a long rulemaking history, several changes in rulemaking course, and the availability of new data, DOE determines that an extension of the public comment period is appropriate to allow interested parties additional time to submit comments for DOE’s consideration. Thus, DOE is extending the comment period by 14 days, until April 17, 2023. Signing Authority This document of the Department of Energy was signed on March 22, 2023, by Francisco Alejandro Moreno, Acting Assistant Secretary for Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, pursuant to delegated authority from the Secretary of Energy. That document with the original signature and date is maintained by DOE.

OMB Control No.: 1902–NEW. Type of Request: New collection request for FERC–725B(5)—temporary placeholder for FERC–725B information collection requirements with changes to the reporting requirements. Abstract: On August 8, 2005, Congress enacted the Energy Policy Act of 2005.1 The Energy Policy Act of 2005 added a new section 215 to the Federal Power Act (FPA),2 which requires a Commission-certified Electric Reliability Organization to develop mandatory and enforceable Reliability Standards,3 including requirements for cybersecurity protection, which are subject to Commission review and approval. Once approved, the Reliability Standards may be enforced by the Electric Reliability Organization subject to Commission oversight, or the 1 Energy Policy Act of 2005, Public Law 109–58, sec. 1261 et seq., 119 Stat. 594 (2005). 2 16 U.S.C. 824o. 3 Section 215 of the FPA defines Reliability Standard as a requirement, approved by the Commission, to provide for reliable operation of existing bulk-power system facilities, including cybersecurity protection, and the design of planned additions or modifications to such facilities to the extent necessary to provide for reliable operation of the Bulk-Power System. However, the term does not include any requirement to enlarge such facilities or to construct new transmission capacity or generation capacity. Id. at 824o(a)(3). PO 00000 Frm 00074 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 Commission can independently enforce Reliability Standards. On February 3, 2006, the Commission issued Order No. 672,4 implementing FPA section 215. The Commission subsequently certified the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) as the Electric Reliability Organization. The Reliability Standards developed by NERC become mandatory and enforceable after Commission approval and apply to users, owners, and operators of the Bulk-Power System, as set forth in each Reliability Standard.5 The CIP Reliability Standards require entities to comply with specific requirements to safeguard bulk electric system (BES) Cyber Systems 6 and their associated BES Cyber Assets. These standards are results-based and do not specify a technology or method to achieve compliance, instead leaving it up to the entity to decide how best to comply. The Commission has approved multiple versions of the CIP Reliability Standards submitted by NERC, partly to address the evolving nature of cyberrelated threats to the Bulk-Power System. High impact systems include large control centers. Medium impact systems include smaller control centers, ultra-high voltage transmission, and large substations and generating 4 Rules Concerning Certification of the Elec.

Reliability Standards, Order No. 672, 71 FR 8661 (Feb. 17, 2006), 114 FERC ¶ 61,104, order on reh’g, Order No. 672–A, 71 FR 19814 (Apr. 28, 2006), 114 FERC ¶ 61,328 (2006). 5 NERC uses the term ‘‘registered entity’’ to identify users, owners, and operators of the BulkPower System responsible for performing specified reliability functions with respect to NERC Reliability Standards. See, e.g., Version 4 Critical Infrastructure Protection Reliability Standards, Order No. 761, 77 FR 24594 (Apr. 25, 2012), 139 FERC ¶ 61,058, at P 46, order denying clarification and reh’g, 140 FERC ¶ 61,109 (2012). Within the NERC Reliability Standards are various subsets of entities responsible for performing various specified reliability functions. We collectively refer to these as ‘‘entities.’’ 6 NERC defines BES Cyber System as ‘‘[o]ne or more BES Cyber Assets logically grouped by a responsible entity to perform one or more reliability tasks for a functional entity.’’ NERC, Glossary of Terms Used in NERC Reliability Standards, at 5 (2020), https://www.nerc.com/files/glossary_of_ terms.pdf (NERC Glossary of Terms). NERC defines BES Cyber Asset as A Cyber Asset that if rendered unavailable, degraded, or misused would, within 15 minutes of its required operation, mis-operation, or nonoperation, adversely impact one or more Facilities, systems, or equipment, which, if destroyed, degraded, or otherwise rendered unavailable when needed, would affect the reliable operation of the Bulk Electric System. Redundancy of affected Facilities, systems, and equipment shall not be considered when determining adverse impact. Each BES Cyber Asset is included in one or more BES Cyber Systems. Id. at 4.
