and provided a 45-day public comment period. Written comments on the 
proposed rule amendments were to be submitted to the EPA on or before 
December 29, 2005. We have received requests asking for an extension of 
the public comment period. In consideration of these concerns, the EPA 
is extending the comment period by 21 days (until January 19, 2006).

DATES: Comments must be received on or before January 19, 2006.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by Docket ID No. EPA-HQ-
OAR-2003-0138, by one of the following methods:
     http://www.regulations.gov: Follow the on-line 
instructions for submitting comments.

     Fax: (202) 566-1741.

requests that a separate copy be sent to the contact person listed

    Instructions: Direct your comments to Docket ID No. EPA-HQ-OAR-
2003-0138. 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.regulations.gov, 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 http://www.regulations.gov or e-mail. The http://www.regulations.gov Web site 
is an ``anonymous access'' system, which means EPA will not know your 
identity or contact information unless you provide it in the body of 
your comment. If you send an e-mail comment directly to EPA without 
going through http://www.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.
    Docket: All documents in the docket are listed in the http://www.regulations.gov index. Although listed in the index, some 
information is not publicly available, e.g., CBI or other information 
whose disclosure is restricted by statute. Certain other material, such 
as copyrighted material, will be publicly available only in hard copy. 
Publicly available docket materials are available either electronically 
in http://www.regulations.gov or in hard copy at the Docket, EPA/DC, 
EPA West, Room B102, 1301 Constitution Avenue, NW., Washington, DC. 
This Docket Facility is open from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday 
through Friday, excluding legal holidays. The Docket telephone number 
is (202) 566-1742. The Public Reading Room is open from 8:30 a.m. to 
4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, excluding legal holidays. The 
telephone number for the Public Reading Room is (202) 566-1744, and the 
telephone number for the Air and Radiation Docket is (202) 566-1742.
    Submitting CBI: Do not submit this information to EPA through 
http://www.regulations.gov or e-mail. Clearly mark the part or all of 
the information that you claim to be CBI. For CBI information in a disk 
or CD ROM that you mail to EPA, mark the outside of the disk or CD ROM 
as CBI and then identify electronically within the disk or CD ROM the 
specific information that is claimed as CBI. In addition to one 
complete version of the comment that includes information claimed as 
CBI, a copy of the comment that does not contain the information 
claimed as CBI must be submitted for inclusion in the public docket. 
Information so marked will not be disclosed except in accordance with 
procedures set forth in 40 CFR part 2.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Organic Liquids Distribution rule was 
issued on February 3, 2004 (69 FR 5038). On November 14, 2005, at 70 FR 
69210, EPA proposed amendments to the ``National Emission Standards for 
Hazardous Air Pollutants for Organic Liquids Distribution (Non-
Gasoline)'' and provided a 45-day public comment period. Written 
comments on the proposed rule amendments were to be submitted to the 
EPA on or before December 29, 2005 (a 45-day public comment period). 
Requests have been received asking for an extension of the public 
comment period beyond the 45 days originally provided. These requests 
have been made by businesses that will be affected by the proposed rule 
amendments. Their request for this extension is based on the fact that 
Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays occur during the comment period 
which would cause hardship on their ability to provide timely and 
useful comments. In consideration of these concerns, the EPA is 
extending the comment period by 21 days (until January 19, 2006) in 
order to give all interested persons the opportunity to comment fully.

    Dated: December 22, 2005.
William L. Wehrum,
Acting Assistant Administrator for Air and Radiation.
