National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants: Surface 
Coating of Automobiles and Light-Duty Trucks

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule; notice of change to public comment period.

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

SUMMARY: This document is to inform the public of a correction to the 
proposed national emission standards for hazardous air pollutants 
(NESHAP) for surface coating of automobiles and light-duty trucks that 
were published in the Federal Register on December 24, 2002 (67 FR 
78612). As published, written comments on the proposed rule were to be 
submitted to EPA on or before February 7, 2003. Today, we are providing 
notice that the period for public comment is being extended and will 
end on February 24, 2003 (a 60-day public comment period).
    Additionally, the December 24, 2002 Federal Register document 
stated that if anyone contacts EPA requesting to speak at a public 
hearing, they should do so by January 3, 2003. We are extending the 
period to request a public hearing to January 13, 2003 (20 days).
    Finally, the Federal Register document stated that, if requested, a 
public hearing would be held approximately 15 days after the date of 
publication of the notice in the Federal Register. Today's document 
corrects the date of the hearing. It will be held, if requested, on 
January 27, 2003 (approximately 30 days after the date of publication 
of the proposal in the Federal Register).
