Energy Conservation Program: Energy 
Conservation Standards for Manufactured Housing 
AGENCY : Office of Energy Efficiency and 
Renewable Energy, Department of Energy. 
ACTION : Notification and reopening of 
public comment. 
SUMMARY : The U.S. Department of 
Energy (DOE) has issued the Draft Environmental Impact Statement for Proposed Energy Conservation Standards for Manufactured Housing (DOE/EIS–0550). DOE prepared this Draft EIS in support of a rulemaking announced in the supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking (SNOPR) proposing amended energy conservation standards for manufactured housing on 
August 26, 2021 (August 2021 MH SNOPR). DOE invites interested parties to comment on how analysis presented in the Draft EIS should inform the final energy conservation standards for manufactured housing. 
DATES : DOE will accept comments, data, 
and information regarding how the Draft EIS should inform DOE’s final energy conservation standards for manufactured housing received no later than February 28, 2022. See section III, ‘‘Public Participation,’’ for details. 
ADDRESSES : Interested persons are 
encouraged to submit comments using the Federal eRulemaking Portal at www.regulations.gov. Follow the 
instructions for submitting comments. Alternatively, interested persons may submit comments by email to: Manufactured_ Housing@ee.doe.gov. 
Any comments submitted must provide docket number EERE–2009–BT–BC– 0021 and/or regulatory information number (RIN) number 1904–AC11. Submit electronic comments in WordPerfect, Microsoft Word, PDF, or ASCII file format, and avoid the use of special characters or any form of encryption. 
Comments submitted in response to 
this notice are separate from comments provided as part of the public review of the Draft EIS. See the EIS website (https://ecs-mh.evs.anl.gov/ ) for 
information on that public comment process. 
Although DOE has routinely accepted 
public comment submissions through a variety of mechanisms, including postal mail and hand delivery/courier, the Department has found it necessary to make temporary modifications to the comment submission process in light of the ongoing Covid–19 pandemic. DOE is currently suspending receipt of public comments via postal mail and hand delivery/courier for this rulemaking. If a commenter finds that this change poses an undue hardship, please contact Appliance Standards Program staff at (202) 586–1445 to discuss the need for alternative arrangements. Once the Covid–19 pandemic health emergency is resolved, DOE anticipates resuming all of its regular options for public comment submission, including postal mail and hand delivery/courier. 
No telefacsimilies (faxes) will be 
accepted. For detailed instructions on submitting comments and additional information on the rulemaking process, see section III of this document. 
Docket: The docket for this activity, 
which includes Federal Register notices, comments, and other supporting documents/materials, is available for review at www.regulations.gov. All documents in 
the docket are listed in the www.regulations.gov index. However, 
not all documents listed in the index may be publicly available, such as information that is exempt from public disclosure. 
The docket web page can be found at 
www.regulations.gov/docket?D=EERE– 2009–BT–BC–0021. The docket web 
page contains instructions on how to access all documents, including public comments, in the docket. See section III for information on how to submit comments through www.regulations.gov.

I. Background 
DOE has proposed amended energy 
conservation standards for 
manufactured housing and is maintaining both a rulemaking proceeding and an associated NEPA proceeding. In the rulemaking proceeding, DOE published a supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking (SNOPR) proposing amended energy conservation standards for manufactured housing on August 26, 2021 (August 2021 MH SNOPR). 86 FR 47744. In the August 2021 MH SNOPR, DOE’s primary proposal was the ‘‘tiered’’ approach, based on the 2021 IECC, wherein a subset of the energy conservation standards would be less stringent for certain manufactured homes in light of the cost-effectiveness considerations required by statute. Under the tiered proposal, two sets of standards would be established in proposed 10 CFR part 460, subpart B (i.e., Tier 1 and Tier 2). 
On October 26, 2021, DOE published 
a NODA regarding updated inputs and results of corresponding analyses and invited interested parties to comment on these analyses. 86 FR 59042 (October 2021 NODA). In addition, DOE reopened the public comment period on the SNOPR through November 26, 2021. DOE explained that it would consider the updated inputs and corresponding analyses, as well as comments on the inputs and analyses, as part of the rulemaking. In addition, DOE stated it may further revise the analysis presented in this rulemaking based on any new or updated information or data it obtains and encouraged stakeholders to provide any additional data or information that may inform the analysis.

In the NEPA proceeding, on July 7, 
2021, DOE published a notice of intent 
(NOI) to prepare an environmental impact statement for energy conservation standards for manufactured housing, to invite public comments on the EIS scope, and to conduct public scoping meetings. 86 FR 35773 (July 7, 2021). DOE conducted online meetings July 21 and July 22, 2021, and invited oral comments on the scope of the EIS, with written comments invited through August 6, 2021. DOE 
has announced the availability of, and is seeking comment on, the Draft EIS. More information is available on the EIS website (https://ecs-mh.evs.anl.gov/ ). 
II. Request for Comment on the Rulemaking Proceeding 
DOE is re-opening comment on the 
rulemaking proceeding to consider how the Draft EIS should inform the final energy conservation standards for manufactured housing The Draft EIS analyzes price-based alternatives based around a $63,000 threshold for manufacturer retail list price and different wall insulation requirements. It also analyzes alternatives based on size of the manufactured housing (single sections and multiple sections with differences in wall insultation requirements), untiered alternatives with only differences in wall insultation requirements, and a no action alternative (i.e., no DOE standard). 
Stakeholders are encouraged to provide comment on the alternatives, assumptions, and analyses presented in the Draft EIS through the EIS process as described on the EIS website (https://ecs-mh.evs.anl.gov/). 
Through this document, DOE invites 
comments in the docket for this rulemaking specifically on how the analyses and results presented in the Draft EIS should inform DOE’s final rule for energy conservation standards for manufactured housing. 
III. Public Participation 
DOE is interested in receiving 
comments on how aspects of the data 
and analysis presented in the Draft EIS and supporting documentation should inform DOE’s final energy conservation standards for manufactured housing.

II. Background 
This RIS is intended for all holders of 
operating licenses and combined 
licenses for nuclear power reactors, except those who have permanently ceased operations and have certified that fuel has been permanently removed from the reactor vessel. 
Operational leakage is leakage 
through a flaw in the pressure retaining boundary of American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code (BPVC) Code Class 1, 2 or 3 systems, structures, and components (SSC) discovered during the operational life of the nuclear power plant outside any ASME BPVC-required pressure test. The term ‘‘through-wall’’ describes a condition that extends from one surface to another surface in a component. If through-wall operational leakage is observed from an ASME BPVC Class 1, 2 or 3 SSC, and the structural integrity of the SSC must be established to conclude that the system remains operable, then the methods described in the provisions of the applicable inservice inspection requirements, as specified in paragraph 50.55a(g) of title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations, must be used. These methods require analysis in accordance with the original construction code, the implementation of an NRC-approved ASME BPVC Code Case, or Nonmandatory Appendix U of ASME BPVC, Section XI, to verify structural integrity or perform a repair/ replacement activity.
