The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has published a Federal Register notice pertaining to energy conservation standards for consumer boilers. DOE previously proposed amended standards for consumer boilers in a notice of proposed rulemaking (NOPR) published in the Federal Register on August 14, 2023, which also announced a public meeting via webinar to receive input on these proposed standards and associated analyses and results. On August 15, 2023, DOE received a letter from the Air- Conditioning, Heating & Refrigeration Institute (AHRI) asking DOE to extend the NOPR comment period by 30 days and also to hold an in-person public meeting regarding the NOPR. In this document, DOE grants AHRI’s request for an in-person meeting and announces that the public meeting will now be held in person, in addition to being broadcast as a webinar. DOE is denying AHRI’s request for a comment period extension for the reasons explained in this document.
