SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On December 13, 2007, EPA proposed to 
disapprove the State Plan submitted by Nevada on November 15, 2006. The 
State Plan is intended to address the requirements of EPA's Clean Air 
Mercury Rule, promulgated on May 18, 2005, and subsequently revised on

response to a request from Leo M. Drozdoff, Administrator of the Nevada 
Division of Environmental Protection, submitted by letter on January 3, 
2008, EPA is extending the comment period for an additional 45 days.

    Dated: January 9, 2008.

Regional Administrator, Region IX.
