If you submit an electronic 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

This document extends the public comment period established in the

Federal Register

issued on March 30, 2010, when EPA published a proposed rule (75 FR 15655) amending the Section 112(j) rule (40 CFR part 63, subpart B). The amendments would streamline certain aspects of the Section 112(j) rule and clarify the process in the case of a complete rule vacatur. Several parties requested that EPA extend the comment period. EPA has granted this request and is extending the comment period to May 27, 2010. To submit comments, or access the official public docket, please follow the detailed instructions as provided in the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION
