Systems and Amendments to Testing and Monitoring Provisions

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule; reopening of comment period.

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

SUMMARY: This action reopens the public comment period for the action 
entitled ``Performance Specification 16 for Predictive Emission 
Monitoring Systems and Amendments to Testing

[[Page 65874]]

and Monitoring Provisions'' that was proposed in the Federal Register 
on August 8, 2005 (70 FR 45608). The 60-day comment period in the 
proposal ended October 8, 2005. The comment period is being reopened 
for two weeks, from November 2-16, 2005. A public commenter requested 
that the comment period be reopened to allow them to prepare their 
response since they are a leading vendor of predictive emission 
monitoring systems and are significantly impacted by the rule. The 
intended effect of this action is to allow the affected public 
sufficient time to review and comment on the proposed action.

DATES: Comments: The comment period is reopened for two weeks, from 
November 2-16, 2005. Comments must be received during this two week 
period.

ADDRESSES: Comments. You may submit comments electronically, by mail, 
by facsimile, or through hand delivery/courier. To ensure proper 
receipt by EPA, identify the appropriate docket identification number 
in the subject line on the first page of your comment. Please ensure 
that your comments are submitted within the specified comment period. 
Comments received after the close of the comment period will be marked 
``late.'' The EPA is not required to consider these late comments. 
However, late comments may be considered if time permits.
    1. Electronically. If you submit an electronic comment as 
prescribed below, EPA recommends that you include your name, mailing 
address, and an e-mail address or other contact information in the body 
of your comment. Also include this contact information on the outside 
of any disk or CD ROM you submit and in any cover letter accompanying 
the disk or CD ROM. This ensures that you can be identified as the 
submitter of the comment and allows EPA to contact you in case EPA 
cannot read your comment due to technical difficulties or needs further 
information on the substance of your comment. The EPA's policy is that 
EPA will not edit your comment, and any identifying or contact 
information provided in the body of a comment will be included as part 
of the comment that is placed in the official public docket and made 
available in EPA's electronic public docket. 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.
    i. EDOCKET. Your use of EPA's electronic public docket to submit 
comments to EPA electronically is EPA's preferred method for receiving 
comments. Go directly to EDOCKET at http://www.epa.gov/edocket, and 
follow the online instructions for submitting comments. To access EPA's 
electronic public docket from the EPA Internet Home Page, select 
``Information Sources,'' ``Dockets,'' and ``EDOCKET.'' Once in the 
system, select ``search,'' and then key in Docket ID No. OAR-2003-0074. 
The system is an ``anonymous access'' system, which means EPA will not 
know your identity, e-mail address, or other contact information unless 
you provide it in the body of your comment.
    ii. http://www.regulations.gov. Electronic comments may also be 
sent through the federal wide eRulemaking Web site at http://www.regulations.gov.
    iii. E-mail. Comments may be sent by electronic mail (e-mail) to [email protected], Attention: Docket ID No. OAR-2003-0074. In 
contrast to EPA's electronic public docket, EPA's e-mail system is not 
an ``anonymous access'' system. If you send an e-mail comment directly 
to the Docket without going through EPA's electronic public docket, 
EPA's e-mail system automatically captures your e-mail address. E-mail 
addresses that are automatically captured by EPA's e-mail system are 
included as part of the comment that is placed in the official public 
docket and made available in EPA's electronic public docket.
    iv. Disk or CD ROM. You may submit comments on a disk or CD ROM 
that you mail to the mailing address identified in Unit I.C.2. These 
electronic submissions will be accepted in WordPerfect or ASCII file 
format. Avoid the use of special characters and any form of encryption.
    2. By Mail. Send duplicate copies of your comments to: 
``Performance Specification 16 for Predictive Emission Monitoring 
Systems,'' Environmental Protection Agency, Mail Code 6102T, 1200 
Pennsylvania Ave., NW., Washington, DC 20460, Attention: Docket ID No. 
OAR-2003-0074.
    3. By Hand Delivery or Courier. Deliver your comments to: EPA 
Docket Centers, EPA West, Room 108, 1301 Constitution Ave., NW.,

deliveries are only accepted during the Docket's normal hours of 
operation as identified in Unit I.B.1.
    4. By Facsimile. Fax your comments to: 202-566-1741, Attention: 
Docket ID. No. OAR-2003-0074.
    Docket. Docket No. OAR-2003-0074, contains information relevant to 
this rule. You can read and copy it between 8:30 a.m. and 5:30 p.m.,

Environmental Protection Agency, EPA Docket Center, EPA West, Room 108,
