SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On March 28, 2022, EPA published a proposed 
rule titled ``Control of Air Pollution from New Motor Vehicles: Heavy-
Duty Engine and Vehicle Standards'' (87 FR 17414). The public comment 
for this proposed rule was scheduled to end on May 13, 2022. The Clean 
Air Act requires that the record of proceedings allowing oral 
presentation of data, views, and arguments on a proposed rule be kept 
open for 30 days after completion of the proceeding to provide an 
opportunity for submission of rebuttal and supplementary information. 
42 U.S.C. 7607(d)(5). Because EPA held a third day of public hearing 
for this proposed rule, the final ``proceeding allowing oral 
presentation of data, views, and arguments,'' was held on April 14, 
2022. For this reason, the public comment period for this proposed rule 
is extended and will now end on May 16, 2022.

Benjamin Hengst,
Deputy Director, Office of Transportation and Air Quality.
