Energy Conservation Program: Test 
Procedure for External Power Supplies and Battery Chargers 
AGENCY : Office of Energy Efficiency and 
Renewable Energy, Department of Energy. 
ACTION : Notice of rescheduled public 
meeting. 
SUMMARY : On November 2, 2021, the 
U.S. Department of Energy (‘‘DOE’’) published a supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking (‘‘SNOPR’’), and request for comment for the test procedure for external power supplies. The SNOPR announced a public meeting webinar would be held on December 15, 2021. Additionally, on November 23, 2021, DOE published a notice of proposed rulemaking (‘‘NOPR’’), and request for comment for the test procedure for battery chargers. This NOPR announced that the public meeting webinar scheduled for December 15, 2021, would also cover the battery charger test procedure proposal. To avoid a scheduling conflict with another public meeting webinar scheduled for that same date and time regarding the test procedure for cooking products, DOE is moving the public meeting webinar for the external power supply and battery charger test procedures to Monday, December 13, 2021. 
DATES : The public meeting webinar 
regarding the SNOPR on the test procedure for external power supplies and the NOPR on the test procedure for battery chargers will now be held on December 13, 2021, from 12:30 p.m. until 4 p.m. 
ADDRESSES : See the ‘‘Public 
Participation’’ section of this document for webinar registration information, participant instructions, and information about the capabilities available to webinar participants. Interested persons are encouraged to submit comments via email or by using the Federal eRulemaking Portal at www.regulations.gov. Further 
information on how to submit written comments is provided in the Federal Register notices for the SNOPR on the 
test procedure for external power supplies and the NOPR on the test procedure for battery chargers.

At the end of all prepared statements 
on a topic, DOE will permit participants to clarify their statements briefly. Participants should be prepared to answer questions by DOE and by other participants concerning these issues. DOE representatives may also ask questions of participants concerning other matters relevant to this rulemaking. The official conducting the webinar will accept additional comments or questions from those attending, as time permits. The presiding official will announce any further procedural rules or modification of the above procedures that may be needed for the proper conduct of the webinar.

Competitive Postal Products 
AGENCY : Postal Regulatory Commission. 
ACTION : Supplemental notice of 
proposed rulemaking. 
SUMMARY : On January 3, 2019, the 
Commission adopted final rules to 
implement a dynamic formula-based approach for calculating the institutional cost contribution requirement for Competitive products, which is also referred to as ‘‘the appropriate share,’’ in accordance with the applicable statutory requirements. Subsequently, the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit (D.C. Circuit), in a decision issued in April 2020, remanded two issues to the Commission for clarification. This supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking addresses the issues identified by the D.C. Circuit, initiates the Commission’s third 5-year review of the appropriate share, reissues the dynamic formula-based approach to calculating the appropriate share as a proposed rule, and invites public comment. DATES : Comments are due: February 25, 
2022; Reply Comments are due: March 
25, 2022. 
ADDRESSES : For additional information, 
Order No. 6043 can be accessed electronically through the Commission’s website at https://www.prc.gov. Submit 
comments electronically via the Commission’s Filing Online system at http://www.prc.gov. Those who cannot 
submit comments electronically should contact the person identified in the

I. Relevant Statutory Requirements 
Section 3633(a)(3) of title 39 of the 
United States Code requires the 
Commission to ‘‘ensure that all competitive products collectively cover what the Commission determines to be an appropriate share of the institutional costs of the Postal Service.’’ 39 U.S.C. 3633(a)(3). Section 3633(b) requires that the Commission revisit the appropriate share regulation at least every 5 years in order to determine if the minimum contribution requirement should be ‘‘retained in its current form, modified, or eliminated.’’ 39 U.S.C. 3633(b). In making such a determination, the Commission is required to consider ‘‘all relevant circumstances, including the prevailing competitive conditions in the market, and the degree to which any costs are uniquely or disproportionately associated with any competitive products.’’ Id. 
II. Background 
Pursuant to section 3633(b), the 
Commission initiated Docket No. RM2017–1 for the purpose of conducting its second review of the appropriate share requirement since the enactment of the Postal Accountability and Enhancement Act (PAEA), Public Law 109–435, 120 Stat. 3198 (2006). In its second review of the appropriate share, the Commission found that market conditions have changed since the PAEA’s enactment and since the Commission’s last review of the appropriate share.
