ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Parts 51, 52, 60, 61, and 64

[FRL-5147-3]


Enhanced Monitoring Program

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule; notice of comment period extension.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This document extends until February 3, 1995 the public 
comment period on a limited number of specific issues concerning the 
proposed Enhanced Monitoring Program, 40 CFR parts 51, 52, 60, 61, and 
64. The proposal was published on October 22, 1993 (58 FR 54648). On 
December 28, 1994, the public comment period was reopened to solicit 
comment on a limited number of specific issues (59 FR 66844). At the 
request of several commenters, EPA is extending the comment period for 
an additional seven days. The extension is limited to this short period 
because the enhanced monitoring rulemaking is subject to a court-
ordered deadline of April 30, 1995, established by a consent decree in 
Sierra Club v. Browner, No. 93-0124 (NHJ)(D.D.C.). The extension of the 
public comment period is limited to the issues identified in the notice 
published December 28, 1994.
    In addition, the EPA encourages public comment on the Enhanced 
Monitoring Reference Document and the associated Data Quality 
Objectives (DQO) process referenced in the notice published December 
28, 1994 (see 59 FR 66844, 66846), not only during this public comment 
period but afterwards as well. In this manner, the Enhanced Monitoring 
Reference Document can be updated on a regular basis.

DATES: Comments on the limited number of specific issues identified in 
the December 28, 1994 notice must be received by February 3, 1995.

ADDRESSES: Comments must be mailed (in duplicate, if possible) to: EPA 
Air Docket (6102), Attention: Docket No. A-91-52, Room M-1500, 
Waterside Mall, 401 M Street SW, Washington, DC 20460. Docket: 
Supporting information used in developing the proposed regulations is 
contained in Docket No. A-91-52. This docket is available for public 
inspection and copying between 8 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. Monday through 
Friday, excluding government holidays, and is located at EPA Air Docket 
(6102), Room M-1500, Waterside Mall, 401 M Street SW, Washington, DC 
20460. A reasonable fee may be charged for copying.
