This extension of the comment period is provided to allow commenters an

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On June 2, 1994, EPA proposed requirements 
for expanding public participation in the RCRA permitting process for 
all types of RCRA facilities, and for revising permitting procedures 
for RCRA combustion facilities (see 59 FR 28680 for a detailed 
discussion of the proposed requirements). The original comment period 
on the proposed rule ended August 1, 1994.

    On July 25, 1994, the Agency received a joint request from two 
commenters asking for an extension to the comment period, in order to 
complete a thorough and comprehensive analysis of the proposal. EPA 
subsequently heard from several other commenters requesting additional 
time to develop and submit their comments.
    EPA specifically solicited public comments on a number of items in 
the proposed rule, and would like to ensure that the public has ample 
opportunity to address these, and any other, items, in their comments. 
Therefore, the Agency has decided to reopen the comment period on the 
RCRA Expanded Public Participation and Revisions to Combustion 
Permitting Procedures proposed rule until September 1, 1994.

    Dated: August 8, 1994.
Elliott P. Laws,
Assistant Administrator, Office of Solid Waste and Emergency Response.
