SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Throughout this document wherever ``we,''

On June 5, 2019 (84 FR 26053), we published in the Federal Register
a proposed rule pertaining to proposed approval of a CDD for the 2006
24-hour PM2.5 Salt Lake City, UT NAA and requested comments
by July 5, 2019. Specifically, the proposed determination is based upon
quality-assured, quality-controlled, and certified ambient air
monitoring data for the period 2016-2018, available in the EPA's Air
Quality System (AQS) database, showing the area has monitored
attainment of the 2006 24-hour PM2.5 National Ambient Air
Quality Standards (NAAQS). Based on our proposed determination that the
Salt Lake City, UT NAA is currently attaining the 24-hour
PM2.5 NAAQS, the EPA also proposed to determine that the
obligation for Utah to make submissions to meet certain Clean Air Act
(CAA or the Act) requirements related to attainment of the NAAQS for
this area is not applicable for as long as the area continues to attain
the NAAQS.
We received a request from the Center for Biological Diversity to
extend the comment period and, in response, we are extending the
comment period to July 22, 2019.\1\

initial email response, appears in the docket for this action.
