SUMMARY: EPA is reopening the comment period for the proposed rule 
entitled ``Consolidated Rules of Practice Governing the Administrative 
Assessment of Civil Penalties, Issuance of Compliance or Corrective 
Action Orders, and the Revocation, Termination or Suspension of 
Permits'' that was published in the Federal Register of February 25, 
1998. Several commenters requested additional time to analyze the 
proposed changes. In response, the Agency is reopening the comment 
period. The original comment period closed April 27, 1998.

DATES: Written comments must be submitted on or before June 5, 1998.

ADDRESSES: Comments should be submitted in writing to Enforcement and 
Compliance Docket and Information Center (2201A), Office of Enforcement 
and Compliance Assurance, Office of Regulatory Enforcement, U.S. 
Environmental Protection Agency, 401 M Street, SW, Washington, D.C.

submitted on paper must be submitted in triplicate.
    EPA will make available, both in paper form and on the internet, a 
record of comments received in response to this document. The official 
docket will be a paper record of all comments received in writing or by 
electronic mail. This record may be reviewed at room 4033 of the Ariel 
Rios Federal Building, 1200 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W., Washington, DC 
20044. Persons interested in reviewing the comments must make advance 
arrangements to do so by calling 202-564-2614. A reasonable fee may be

publish a copy of the official docket on the Office of Enforcement and

regstat2.html. The Agency intends that this internet docket should 
duplicate the official paper record, however, if technological or

on the internet docket, the internet docket will identify those 
comments available only in the official paper docket.
