SUMMARY: On May 28, 1999, the Environmental Protection Agency proposed

to modify the rule listing regulated substances and threshold

quantities for the Risk Management Program (RMP) issued under section

flammable hydrocarbon substances need not be considered in determining

whether more than a threshold quantity is present when the substance is

intended for use as a fuel and does not exceed 67,000 pounds in a

process that is not manufacturing the fuel, does not contain greater

than a threshold quantity of another regulated substance, and is not

collocated or interconnected to another covered process. This notice

extends the public comment period for the proposed rule.

DATES: The comment period for the proposed rule is extended from the
