Effluent Limitations Guidelines, Pretreatment Standards, and New

Reopening of Comment Period

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice; reopening of comment period.

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

SUMMARY: The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is reopening 
the comment period for Effluent Limitations Guidelines, Pretreatment 
Standards, and New Source Performance Standards: Centralized Waste 
Treatment Category: Data Availability; Proposed Rule, which was 
published in the Federal Register on

[[Page 56651]]

September 16, 1996 (61 FR 48805). The public comment period for the 
Notice of Data Availability ended on October 16, 1996.
    EPA has received several requests for an extension of time to 
comment on the Notice of Data Availability. These requests are from 
facilities that may be affected by the final rule. The additional time 
will provide the opportunity for more thorough review of new 
information and facility profiles and in turn, allow more informed 
public comment. The Agency has determined that an extension of time is 
in the public interest, and that an additional 20 days to comment on 
the Notice of Data Availability is reasonable.

DATES: Comments on this notice are solicited and will be accepted until 
November 25, 1996. Comments are to be submitted in triplicate, and also 
in electronic format (diskettes) if possible.

ADDRESS: Comments are to be submitted to Mr. Ed Terry at the following 
address: Engineering and Analysis Division (4303), U.S. EPA, 401 M 
Street, S.W., Washington, D.C. 20460.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. Ed Terry, Engineering and Analysis 
Division (4303), U.S. EPA, 401 M Street, S.W., Washington, D.C. 20460, 
telephone number (202) 260-7128 or via EMAIL at: 
[email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On September 16, 1996, EPA published a 
notice in the Federal Register which describes the new information the 
Agency has obtained since the proposed rulemaking (60 FR 5464, January 
27, 1995) for the Centralized Waste Treatment (CWT) Industry. The 
notice also explains the Agency's revised estimates of the size and 
regulatory impact of the proposed rulemaking on the proposed oils 
treatment and recovery subcategory and presents preliminary results of 
EPA detailed analysis for the subcategory.
    This extension of time for comment does not represent any 
modification of the notice of data availability. The extension of time 
for receipt of comments simply provides interested parties an 
additional 20 days to provide comments to the Agency on the Notice of 
Data Availability. All other requirements stipulated in the initial 
notice for receipt of comments still apply.
    All written comments submitted in accordance with the instructions 
in the Notice of Data Availability and received by November 25, 1996, 
including those received between the close of the comment period on 
October 16, 1996, and the publication of this notice, will be entered 
into the public record and considered by EPA before promulgation of the 
final rule.

    Dated: October 28, 1996.
Robert Perciasepe,
Assistant Administrator for Water.
