National Emission Standards for Halogenated Solvent Cleaning

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)

ACTION: Notice of extension of comment period.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The EPA is announcing an extension of the public comment 
period on our proposed response to a Petition for Reconsideration 
regarding a final rule we issued under Section 112(f)(2) and 112(d)(6) 
of the Clean Air Act related to national emission standards for 
halogenated solvent cleaning. As published in the Federal Register on 
October 20, 2008, written comments on the proposed rule were to be 
submitted by December 4, 2008. On November 4, 2008, EPA received a 
timely request to extend the deadline for the public comment period on 
the proposed rule to February 4, 2009. In response to this request, EPA 
is extending the comment period that would end on December 4, 2008, to 
February 4, 2009.

DATES: Comments. Comments must be received on or before February 4, 
2009.

provided, unless the comment includes information claimed to be 
Confidential Business Information (CBI) or other information whose 
disclosure is restricted by statute. Do not submit information that you 
consider to be CBI or otherwise protected through www.regulations.gov

system, which means EPA will not know your identity or contact 
information unless you provide it in the body of your comment. If you 
send an e-mail comment directly to EPA without going through http://
www.regulations.gov, your e-mail address will be automatically captured 
and included as part of the comment that is placed in the public docket 
and made available on the Internet. 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. Electronic files should avoid the use of special 
characters, any form of encryption, and be free of any defects or 
viruses. For additional instructions on submitting comments, go to the 
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section of this document.
    Docket: All documents in the docket are listed in the 
www.regulations.gov index. Although listed in the index, some 
information is not publicly available, e.g., CBI or other information 
whose disclosure is restricted by statute. Certain other material, such 
as copyrighted material, will be publicly available only in hard copy. 
Publicly available docket materials are available either electronically 
in www.regulations.gov or in hard copy at the EPA Docket Center, Docket 
ID No. EPA-HQ-OAR-2002-0009, EPA West Building, Room 3334, 1301
