SUMMARY: EPA is extending the comment period for the proposed 
significant new use rule (SNUR) for certain acrylate esters. As 
initially published in the Federal Register of June 2, 1997 (62 FR 
29688) (FRL-5595-1), the comments were to be received on or before July 
2, 1997. One commenter requested additional time to research and submit 
more detailed comments concerning these proposed revocations. EPA is 
therefore extending the comment period in order to give all interested 
persons the opportunity to comment fully.

    Comments and data may also be submitted electronically by sending 
electronic mail (e-mail) to: [email protected]. Electronic 
comments must be submitted as an ASCII file avoiding the use of special 
characters and any form of encryption. Comments and data will also be 
accepted on disks in WordPerfect 5.1 file format or ASCII file format. 
All comments and data in electronic form must be identified by (OPPTS-
50625, etc.). No confidential business information (CBI) should be 
submitted through e-mail. Electronic comment on this notice may be 
filed online at many Federal Depository Libraries.
    All comments which are claimed confidential must be clearly marked 
as such. Three additional sanitized copies of any comments containing 
CBI must also be submitted. Nonconfidential versions of comments on 
this rule will be placed in the rulemaking record and will be available 
for public inspection.
