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.

Extension of public comment period. The first draft Ozone Staff

have concluded on December 31, 2005, EPA has decided to extend the
comment period until January 17, 2006, in order to avoid the December
holiday period and allow interested parties to have additional time to
