SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Comment Period
Due to the many requests we have received from both the public and
members of Congress to extend the public comment period for the January
30, 2004 (69 FR 4652) Proposed Utility Mercury Reductions Rule to
reduce air emissions of mercury and nickel, and on the March 16, 2004
Supplemental Proposed Utility Mercury Reductions Rule 69 FR 12398, EPA
is reopening the public comment period effective April 30, 2004 for an
additional 60 days. Therefore, the public comment period will end on
