Particulate Matter

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule; reopening of the public comment period.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is reopening the comment period for a proposed rule 
published June 27, 2005 (70 FR 36901). On June 27, 2005, EPA proposed 
to disapprove revisions to Ohio rules that provide for use of 
continuous opacity monitoring data but allow more exceedances of the 
general opacity limit in cases where the owner of an eligible large 
coal fired boiler opts to use these data for determining compliance. 
EPA also proposed to approve other elements of Ohio's rule submittal 
that clarified Ohio's rules. In response to requests from the Ohio 
Environmental Protection Agency and from the law firm of Shumaker, Loop 
& Kendrick, EPA is reopening the comment period through August 24, 
2005. All comments received on or before August 24, 2005 will be 
entered into the public record and considered by EPA before taking 
final action on the proposed rule.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before August 24, 2005.
