40 CFR Part 60

[EPA-HQ-OAR-2008-0260; FRL-8577-6]
RIN 2060-AO57


Standards of Performance for Coal Preparation Plants

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Extension of public comment period.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is announcing the extension of the public comment period 
on the proposed reconsideration of the amendments to the new source 
performance standards for coal preparation plants. EPA originally 
requested comments on the proposed rule by June 12, 2008. EPA is 
extending the deadline to July 14, 2008, and is now requesting written 
comments by that date. EPA received a request for a 30-day extension to 
the comment period from the Sierra Club and the National Association of 
Clean Air Agencies. The reason given for the request for the extension 
was the need for additional time to gather data and review the proposed 
amendments. Since the original comment period was 45 days, EPA finds 
this request reasonable.

DATES: Comments. Comments on the proposed rule published April 28, 2008 
(73 FR 22901) must be received on or before July 14, 2008.

ADDRESSES: Comments. Submit your comments, identified by Docket ID No.

consider to be CBI or otherwise protected through regulations.gov or e-

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 about EPA's public docket, visit
