SUMMARY: On November 23, 1994 (59 FR 60445) EPA issued a proposal to 
revise provisions concerning confidentiality of business information. 
This proposal provided for a 60-day comment period, ending on January 
23, 1995. EPA is extending the comment period to February 24, 1995, in 
response to requests to provide more time for comment preparation.

DATES: Comments will be accepted until February 24, 1995.

ADDRESSES: Send or deliver written comments to Donald A. Sadowsky, 
General and Information Law Division (2379), Office of General Counsel, 
Environmental Protection Agency, 401 M Street, SW., Washington, DC 
20460.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Donald A. Sadowsky, Office of General 
Counsel. Telephone 202/260-5469.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On November 23, 1994 (59 FR 60445), EPA 
proposed to modify certain regulations at 40 CFR part 2, subpart A, 
governing the Freedom of Information Act, at subpart B, governing 
confidential business information, and at other parts of Title 40, 
governing confidential business information submitted to specific 
Agency programs.
    The Agency has received several requests for extension of the 
comment period. The requestors have stated that the complexity and 
breadth of the issues in the proposal require additional time in order 
to adequately comment on the proposal.
    EPA is interested in a full range of comments and information on 
these issues. Therefore the Agency is granting an extension of the 
comment period until February 24, 1995.

    Dated: January 14, 1995.
Jean Nelson,
General Counsel.
