SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In today's action, EPA is providing 
additional time to submit public comment on the following proposed 
rules: Emissions standards for industrial, commercial, and 
institutional boilers and process heaters located at major sources (the 
major source boilers rule); emissions standards for industrial, 
commercial, and institutional boilers located at area sources (the area 
source boilers rule); and emissions standards for commercial and 
industrial solid waste incineration units (the CISWI rule). In the 
notices of proposed rulemaking for these rules, EPA established a 
deadline of July 19, 2010, for submission of public comments. On June 
9, 2010, EPA extended the public comment period to August 3, 2010. 75 
FR 32682. Today, EPA is further extending the deadline for providing 
comments on these proposed rules to August 23, 2010.
    EPA also notes that certain additional materials relating to the 
maximum achievable control technology (MACT) floors have been added to 
the dockets for the major and area source boilers proposed rules and 
the CISWI proposed rule since the date of publication of the proposed 
rules. At the time of publication of the proposed rules, the docket 
contained Adobe Acrobat(copyright) versions of the spreadsheets used in 
the MACT floor calculations, as well as associated memoranda describing 
in detail EPA's calculation of the MACT floor for each proposed set of 
emissions standards. Since the publication date, EPA has added to the 
docket the same spreadsheets in Excel format.
