[FRL-7175-5]
RIN 2040-AD56


Effluent Limitations Guidelines and New Source Performance 
Standards for the Meat and Poultry Products Point Source Category

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Extension of comment period on proposed rule and clarification 
on public meetings.

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

SUMMARY: On February 25, 2002 (67 FR 8582), EPA proposed effluent 
limitations guidelines for wastewater discharges associated with the 
operation of new and existing meat and poultry products facilities. The 
original comment period was 60 days, ending on April 26, 2002. The 
comment period will now end 60 days later on June 25, 2002. In the 
preamble to the proposal, EPA incorrectly stated that we would be 
holding two ``public hearings'' on March 14, 2002 and April 9, 2002, 
whereas EPA intended only to hold public meetings on those dates. EPA 
is providing this extension of the comment period in part to ensure 
that anyone who expected to provide their comments orally at a public 
hearing, has an ample opportunity to provide EPA with written comments. 
EPA regrets any inconvenience or confusion this mistake in terminology 
has caused the public.

DATES: Comments on the proposed rule will be accepted through June 25, 
2002.

ADDRESSES: Submit written comments to Ms. Samantha Lewis, Office of 
Water, Engineering and Analysis Division (4303T), U.S. EPA, 1200 
Pennsylvania Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 20460. For hand-deliveries or 
Federal Express, please send comments to Ms. Samantha Lewis, Office of 
Water, Engineering and Analysis Division, Room 6233L, 1301 Constitution 
Avenue, NW, 6th Floor, Connecting Wing, Washington, DC 20460. Comments 
may be sent by email to the following email address: 
``[email protected]''. EPA requests an original and three 
copies of your comments and enclosures (including references). 
Commenters who want EPA to acknowledge receipt of their comments should 
enclose a self-addressed, stamped envelope. No facsimiles (faxes) will 
be accepted.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. Samantha Lewis at (202) 566-1058.

    Dated: April 17, 2002.
Diane C. Regas,
Acting Assistant Administrator for Water.
