amended. Requests for copies of EPA comments can be directed to the

Notice

    In accordance with Section 309(a) of the Clean Air Act, EPA is 
required to make its comments on EISs issued by other Federal agencies 
public. Historically, EPA has met this mandate by publishing weekly 
notices of availability of EPA comments, which includes a brief summary 
of EPA's comment letters, in the Federal Register. Since February 2008, 
EPA has been including its comment letters on EISs on its Web site at: 
http://www.epa.gov/compliance/nepa/eisdata.html.
    Including the entire EIS comment letters on the Web site satisfies 
the Section 309(a) requirement to make EPA's comments on EISs available 
to the public. Accordingly, after March 31, 2010, EPA will discontinue 
the publication of this notice of availability of EPA comments in the 
Federal Register.
