SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Procedural Issues and Regulatory Review

The regulatory reviews conducted for this rulemaking are those set forth in the October 31, 2012 final rule. (77 FR 65941)

Pursuant to the Administrative Procedure Act, 5 U.S.C. 553(b), DOE has determined that notice and prior opportunity for comment on this rule are unnecessary and contrary to the public interest. The instruction is being revised to delete reference to adding section 3.1.3.3 because there is no accompanying text for such a section; the insertion was made in error. DOE has determined that there is good cause to waive the 30-day delay in effective date for these same reasons.

Correction

In FR Doc. 2012-25645, appearing on page 65941 in the Federal Register of Wednesday, October 31, 2012, the following correction is made:

Appendix I to Subpart B of Part 430 [Corrected]

On page 65987, in the second column, the language of amendatory instruction 11.d.4, “Adding sections 3.1.3, 3.1.3.1, 3.1.3.2, and 3.1.3.3;” is corrected to read as follows: “Adding sections 3.1.3, 3.1.3.1, and 3.1.3.2;”

Issued in Washington, DC, on November 16, 2012.

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Energy Efficiency, Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy.
