SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In response to a request from several 
companies involved in a large volume of research and development 
activities, the EPA is extending the public comment period from June 
11, 1997, to July 11, 1997, on the Advanced Notice of Proposed 
Rulemaking for listing research and development facilities on the 
source category list. The EPA agrees that an extension of the comment 
period will provide for more meaningful, constructive comments on the 
ANPR. Having extended the comment period, the EPA nonetheless 
encourages commenters to submit as many of their comments as possible 
before July 11, this would assist the EPA in its considerations of the 
issues raised. Due to the unique nature of R&D activities and the EPA'a 
request in the ANPR for specific information and recommendations on how 
to list R&D facilities, the extension to the comment period will 
provide the EPA with more detailed comments that will result in future 
time savings on the project.
