AGENCY: Office of Policy and International Affairs, Department of
Energy.
ACTION: Proposed rule; extension of comment period.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: On December 5, 2003, the Department of Energy published a
Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (68 FR 68204) to revise the General
Guidelines governing the Voluntary Reporting of Greenhouse Gases
Program established by Section 1605(b) of the Energy Policy Act of
1992. The notice announced that the closing date for receiving public
comments would be February 3, 2004. Several organizations requested
that the comment period be extended to allow additional time for
understanding and preparing written comments on the proposed revisions
to the General Guidelines. The Department has agreed to extend the
comment period to February 17, 2004. In addition, the Department
intends, subsequently, to publish for comment a supplemental notice of
proposed revised General Guidelines, simultaneously with the
publication for public comment of planned Technical Guidelines.
DATES: Comments must be received on or before February 17, 2004.
ADDRESSES: Please submit written comments to: 1605bgeneral
