RIN 2060-AO42
Standards of Performance for Portland Cement Plants
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule; extension of public comment period.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: EPA is extending the public comment period on the proposed
amendments to the current Standards of Performance for Portland Cement
Plants. EPA originally requested comments on the proposed rule by
August 15, 2008. EPA is extending the deadline to September 30, 2008,
and is now requesting written comments by that date. EPA received a
request for this extension to the comment period from the Portland
Cement Association. The reason given for the request for the extension
was the need for additional time to gather data and review the proposed
amendments. Given the fact that the proposed amendments are regulating
two pollutants that are not regulated by the current NSPS, and the need
by the Portland Cement Association to obtain additional information
from control equipment vendors, EPA finds this request to be
reasonable.
DATES: Comments. The comment period for the proposed rule published
June 16, 2008 (73 FR 34072), is extended. Comments must be received on
or before September 30, 2008.

restricted by statute. Do not submit information that you consider to

The www.regulations.gov Web site is an ``anonymous access'' system,

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.
Docket: All documents in the docket are listed in the
www.regulations.gov index. Although listed in the index, some
