Emissions Version 1.00m Draft
Criteria; Reopening of Public Comment
Period
Office of Energy Efficiency and
Renewable Energy, Department of
Energy.
ACTION: Request for information;
reopening of public comment period.
AGENCY:
On January 9, 2024, the U.S.
Department of Energy (DOE) published
in the Federal Register a Request for
Information (RFI) regarding the creation
of a standardized, verifiable basis for
defining a zero emissions building by
the White House Office of Domestic
Climate Policy (Climate Policy Office),
through DOE. The RFI provided for the
submission of written comments by
February 5, 2024. This notice announces
a reopening of the public comment
period for submitting comments in
response to the RFI through March 6,
2024.
SUMMARY:
The comment period for the RFI
published on January 9, 2024 (89 FR
1086) is reopened. DOE will accept
comments, data, and information
regarding this RFI received no later than

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On
January 9, 2024, DOE published in the
Federal Register a request for
information (RFI) regarding the creation
of a standardized, verifiable basis for
defining a zero emissions building by
the Climate Policy Office, through DOE.
The RFI does not pertain to a
rulemaking action. In addition to other
net-zero emissions, economy-wide goals
by 2050, within the building sector, the
Biden-Harris Administration has set the
goal to make zero emissions resilient
new construction and retrofits comment
practice by 2030. Accomplishing these
goals will require increasing efficiency
and expanding clean energy capacity.
Zero emissions buildings will plug into
a grid that is rapidly becoming cleaner.
The American Gas Association,
American Public Gas Association, and
National Propane Gas Association
(‘‘Joint Requesters’’) have requested a
30-day extension of the comment period
to allow additional time for preparation
of their comments. The Joint Requesters
explain that they provide the energy
needed to fuel residential, commercial,
and industrial buildings and are thus
stakeholders in this proceeding. The
Joint Requesters explained that they
need additional time to develop
comments that sufficiently analyze the
impacts of the proposed definition and
because limited staff available during
the comment period would make it
difficult to develop comments in
response to the RFI. Similarly, the
National Association of Home Builders
requested an extension of the comment
period because of staffing limitations
and concerns over the definition for
which they would like additional time
to provide feedback.
DOE has determined that reopening
the public comment period is
appropriate based on the foregoing
reasons. DOE will consider any
comments received by 11:59 p.m.
(Eastern Standard Time) of March 6,
2024, and deems any comments
received by that time to be timely
submitted.
