Request for Comment on Potentially Inadequate Monitoring in Clean 
Air Act Applicable Requirements and on Methods To Improve Such 
Monitoring; Notice of Public Comment Period Extension

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Advanced notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPR); notice of public 
comment period extension.

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

SUMMARY: The EPA is announcing that the closing date of the public 
comment period for the advanced notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPR) 
``Request for Comment on Potentially Inadequate Monitoring in Clean Air 
Act Applicable Requirements and on Methods To Improve Such Monitoring'' 
(70 FR 7905, February 16, 2005) is extended sixty days from April 18, 
2005 until June 17, 2005. After publishing this ANPR, the EPA received 
a letter dated March 11, 2005, from Environmental Integrity Project and 
several other environmental and citizens' organizations requesting a 
120-day extension of the public comment period to allow the public to 
provide more meaningful comments, given the broad scope of the ANPR. 
The EPA believes it is reasonable to extend the public comment period 
for sixty days and is hereby granting the requested extension for that 
period.

DATES: Comments must be submitted by June 17, 2005.

    Instructions: Direct your comments to Docket ID No. OAR-2003-0180. 
The EPA's policy is that all comments received will be included in the 
public docket without change and may be made available online at http://www.epa.gov/edocket, including any personal information provided, 
unless the comment includes information claimed to be confidential 
business information (CBI) or other information whose disclosure is 
restricted by statute. Do not submit information that you consider to 
be CBI or otherwise protected through EDOCKET, regulations.gov, or e-
mail. The EPA EDOCKET and the Federal regulations.gov Web sites are

your comment. If you send an e-mail comment directly to EPA without 
going through EDOCKET or regulations.gov, your e-mail address will be 
automatically captured and included as part of the comment that is 
placed in the public docket and made available on the Internet. If you 
submit an electronic comment, EPA recommends that you include your name 
and other contact information in the body of your comment and with any 
disk or CD-ROM you submit. If EPA cannot read your comment due to 
technical difficulties and cannot contact you for clarification, EPA 
may not be able to consider your comment. Electronic files should avoid 
the use of special characters, any form of encryption, and be free of 
any defects or viruses. For additional information
