ACTION: Notice of Time Extension for Acceptance of Scientific Views on

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: On June 30, 2008, EPA published a Federal Register notice that
solicited scientific views on the Draft Technical Support Document,
Volume 3: Development of Site-Specific Bioaccumulation Factors
(hereafter ``Draft Site-Specific BAF TSD'') that accompanies the
Methodology and the National BAF TSD. See 73 FR 36866. Today, in
response to stakeholder requests, EPA is notifying the public that we
will extend the time period to submit scientific views on this document
for 45 days, until September 29, 2008.
DATES: Scientific views must be received on or before September 29,
2008. Scientific views postmarked after this date may not receive the
same consideration.

EPA-HQ-OW-2008-0494, by one of the following methods:
http://www.regulations.gov: Follow the on-line
instructions for submitting scientific views.

Hand Delivery: EPA Docket Center, 1301 Constitution Ave,

Instructions: Direct your scientific views to Docket ID No. EPA-HQ-
OW-2008-0494. EPA's policy is that all scientific views received will
be included in the public docket without change and may be made
available online at http://www.regulations.gov, including any personal
information 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 http://www.regulations.gov or e-mail. The http://www.regulations.gov website
is an ``anonymous access'' 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 information about EPA's public
docket, visit the EPA Docket Center homepage at http://www.epa.gov/epahome/dockets.htm.
