ACTION: Advance notice of proposed rulemaking; notice of extension of 
comment period.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is extending the comment period for the Advance Notice of 
Proposed Rulemaking (ANPRM) for the control of diesel fuel quality. The 
ANPRM was published in the Federal Register on May 13, 1999 (64 FR

originally June 28, 1999. EPA is extending the closure of the comment 
period to July 13, 1999.

DATES: Comments will be accepted until July 13, 1999.

ADDRESSES: Comments on this ANPRM should be sent to Public Docket A-99-

be sent to Margaret Borushko, U.S. EPA, Engine Programs and Compliance 
Division, 2000 Traverwood Dr., Ann Arbor, MI 48105.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On May 13, 1999 EPA published an ANPRM 
regarding control of diesel fuel quality (64 FR 26142). The comment 
period was scheduled to end June 28, 1999.

[[Page 32210]]

    EPA received written requests to extend the comment period to give 
affected parties more time to address the issues raised in the ANPRM. 
One of the requests was for an extension to July 28, 1999; the other 
asked for the comment period to be extended to September 2, 1999.
    Although we agree that additional time for the submittal of 
comments would be beneficial, we have a desire to make decisions 
regarding a proposal as soon as possible. Furthermore, the affected 
parties will have additional opportunities to comment during the 
rulemaking process. Therefore, EPA is extending the comment period 15 
days to July 13, 1999.

    Dated: June 9, 1999.
Robert Brenner,
Acting Assistant Administrator for OAR.
