SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the Federal Register of September 18, 1995 (60 FR 48081), EPA published a proposed rule that, upon promulgation, would amend the list of hazardous air pollutants in Clean Air Act section 112(b)(1), 42 U.S.C. 7412(b)(1)), by removing the compound caprolactam (CAS No. 105-60-2). This action was in response to a petition to delete the substance caprolactam which was filed by AlliedSignal, Inc., BASF Corporation, and DSM Chemicals North America under section 112(b)(3) of the Act. EPA received a request for a public hearing concerning the proposed rule to remove caprolactam. Pursuant to that request, EPA will hold a hearing at the time and location stated above. Clean Air Act section 307(d) does not expressly apply to a rulemaking to remove a substance from the list of hazardous air pollutants in section 112(b). However, section 307(d)(1)(V) permits the EPA Administrator to apply section 307(d) to other actions and EPA is holding the hearing announced by this notice pursuant to the requirements of section 307(d). Section 307(d) also requires EPA to keep the public record open for 30 days after it holds such a hearing ``to provide an opportunity for submission of rebuttal and supplementary information.'' Prior to the original comment period deadline for the proposed rule, EPA received a request to extend the comment period from a local citizen group in Columbia, South Carolina. Citing health problems of group members and difficulties in communicating with legal counsel, the group requested a three week extension of the comment period (until November 24, 1995) ## Nearby sections - [60 FR 89 Proposed Tolerance Revocation for Folpet; Extension of Comment Period and Request for Additional Information](https://www.frixlaw.com/law-library/statutes/FR_PRORULE_94-32285.md) - [60 FR 91 Television Broadcasting Services: Albion, Nebraska](https://www.frixlaw.com/law-library/statutes/FR_PRORULE_94-32275.md) - [60 FR 389 Airworthiness Directives; McDonnell Douglas Model DC-10 Series Airplanes and Model KC-10A (Military) Airplanes](https://www.frixlaw.com/law-library/statutes/FR_PRORULE_95-62.md) - [60 FR 393 Airworthiness Directives; Textron Lycoming LTS101 Series Turboshaft and LTP101 Series Turboprop Engines](https://www.frixlaw.com/law-library/statutes/FR_PRORULE_95-64.md) - [60 FR 397 Mark to Market for Dealers in Securities](https://www.frixlaw.com/law-library/statutes/FR_PRORULE_95-13.md) - [60 FR 1958 Designation of Lightering Zones](https://www.frixlaw.com/law-library/statutes/FR_PRORULE_95-159.md) - [60 FR 2033 Airworthiness Directives; Boeing Model 747 Series Airplanes Equipped With General Electric Model CF6-80C2 Series Engines or Pratt & Whitney Model PW4000 Series Engines](https://www.frixlaw.com/law-library/statutes/FR_PRORULE_95-307.md) - [60 FR 2067 Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans; Maryland; VOC RACT Catch-ups and Stage I Vapor Recovery](https://www.frixlaw.com/law-library/statutes/FR_PRORULE_95-287.md) - [60 FR 2070 Listing Endangered and Threatened Species; Shortnose Sturgeon in the Kennebec River System (Maine)](https://www.frixlaw.com/law-library/statutes/FR_PRORULE_95-275.md) - [60 FR 2364 Anchorage Regulations; Regulated Navigation Areas and Limited Access Areas (CGD 86-079)](https://www.frixlaw.com/law-library/statutes/FR_PRORULE_95-435.md) - [60 FR 2365 Cable Compulsory License: Notice of Inquiry Regarding Merger of Cable Systems and Individual Pricing of Broadcast Signals](https://www.frixlaw.com/law-library/statutes/FR_PRORULE_95-439.md) - [60 FR 2563 Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; California State Implementation Plan Revision, Placer County Air Pollution Control District (PCAPCD) and San Diego County Air Pollution Control District (SDCAPCD)](https://www.frixlaw.com/law-library/statutes/FR_PRORULE_95-521.md) - [60 FR 2630 Federal Acquisition Regulation; Protests, Disputes, and Appeals](https://www.frixlaw.com/law-library/statutes/FR_PRORULE_95-482.md) - [60 FR 2727 Acquisition Regulation; Acquisition and Use of Environmentally Preferable Products and Services](https://www.frixlaw.com/law-library/statutes/FR_PRORULE_95-681.md) --- Source: Frix Law Library, https://www.frixlaw.com/law-library/statutes/FR_PRORULE_95-29112.
