National Emission Standards for Halogenated Solvent Cleaning
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
ACTION: Notice of extension of comment period.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The EPA is announcing an extension of the public comment
period on our proposed response to a Petition for Reconsideration
regarding a final rule we issued under Section 112(f)(2) and 112(d)(6)
of the Clean Air Act related to national emission standards for
halogenated solvent cleaning. As published in the Federal Register on
October 20, 2008, written comments on the proposed rule were to be
submitted by December 4, 2008. On November 4, 2008, EPA received a
timely request to extend the deadline for the public comment period on
the proposed rule to February 4, 2009. In response to this request, EPA
is extending the comment period that would end on December 4, 2008, to
February 4, 2009.
DATES: Comments. Comments must be received on or before February 4,
2009.
ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by Docket ID No. EPA-HQ-
OAR-2002-0009, by one of the following methods:
http://www.regulations.gov. Follow the on-line
instructions for submitting comments.
E-mail: [email protected].
Fax: (202) 566-1741.
Mail: Air and Radiation Docket, EPA, Mailcode: 6102T, 1200
Pennsylvania Ave., NW., Washington, DC 20460. Please include a
duplicate copy, if possible. We request that a separate copy of each
public comment also be sent to the contact person listed below (see FOR

Hand Delivery: In person or by courier, deliver comments

Instructions: Direct your comments to Docket ID No. EPA-HQ-OAR-

in the public docket without change and may be made available on-line
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 www.regulations.gov
or e-mail. The www.regulations.gov Web site 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 instructions on submitting comments, go to the
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section of this document.
Docket: All documents in the docket are listed in the
www.regulations.gov index. Although listed in the index, some
information is not publicly available, e.g., CBI or other information
whose disclosure is restricted by statute. Certain other material, such
as copyrighted material, will be publicly available only in hard copy.
Publicly available docket materials are available either electronically
in www.regulations.gov or in hard copy at the EPA Docket Center, Docket
ID No. EPA-HQ-OAR-2002-0009, EPA West Building, Room 3334, 1301
Constitution Ave., NW., Washington, DC. The Public Reading Room is open

holidays. The telephone number for the Public Reading Room is (202)

B. What should I consider as I prepare my comments for EPA?
1. Submitting CBI. Do not submit CBI information to EPA through

information that you claim to be CBI. For CBI information in a disk or
CD-ROM that you mail to EPA, mark the outside of the disk or CD-ROM as
CBI and then identify electronically within the disk or CD-ROM the
specific information that is claimed as CBI. In addition to one
complete version of the comment that includes information claimed as
CBI, a copy of the comment that does not contain the information
claimed as CBI must be submitted for inclusion in the public docket.
Information so marked will not be disclosed except in accordance with
procedures set forth in 40 CFR part 2. Send or deliver information
identified as CBI only to the following address: Mr. Roberto Morales,

identifying information (subject heading, Federal Register date and
page number).
Follow Directions--EPA may ask you to respond to specific
questions or
[[Page 73632]]

you arrived at your estimate in sufficient detail to allow for it to be
reproduced.
Provide specific examples to illustrate your concerns, and
suggest alternatives.
