摘要

On August 9, 2021, the U.S. Department of Energy ("DOE") published a request for information ("RFI") undertaking an early assessment review for amended energy conservation standards for commercial and industrial pumps ("pumps"). The RFI provided an opportunity for submitting written comments, data, and information by September 8, 2021. DOE received requests from Grundfos and Pentair on August 10, 2021 and August 12, 2021, respectively, asking DOE to extend the public comment period for 60 days until November 8, 2021. Additionally, DOE received requests from the Hydraulic Institute ("HI"), and a group of California Investor-Owned Utilities ("CA IOUs"), comprised of Pacific Gas and Electric Company, San Diego Gas and Electric and Southern California Edison, on August 12, 2021 and August 13, 2021, respectively, asking DOE to extend the public comment period for 30 days until October 8, 2021. DOE has reviewed these requests and is granting an extension of the public comment period to allow public comments to be submitted until October 8, 2021.
