ACTION: Notice of public hearings and extension of public comment

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: On April 29, 2010, the EPA Administrator signed proposed
emission standards for the following source categories: Industrial,
Commercial, and Institutional Boilers and Process Heaters located at
major sources; Industrial, Commercial, and Institutional Boilers
located at area sources; and Commercial and Industrial Solid Waste
Incineration Units. On the same date, the Administrator also signed a
proposal entitled ``Identification of Non-Hazardous Secondary Materials
That Are Solid Waste.'' EPA has received a request to schedule
additional public hearings for these four related rulemakings. Given
the significant public interest in these rules and to further public
participation opportunities, EPA is granting the request and has
scheduled three public hearings. These hearings will occur in
Arlington, Virginia, on June 15, 2010; Houston, Texas, on June 22,
2010; and Los Angeles, California, on June 22, 2010. More information
on the locations is shown in SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION.
In addition, EPA is extending the deadline for written comments on
the proposed rules (75 FR 32006 (major source boilers), 75 FR 31896
(area source boilers), 75 FR 31938 (CISWI), and 75 FR 31844 (waste
definition)) to August 3, 2010. This extension will provide additional
time for public participation.
DATES: Comments. Comments must be received on or before August 3, 2010.
Public Hearings. These hearings will occur in Arlington, Virginia,
on June 15, 2010; Houston, Texas, on June 22, 2010; and Los Angeles,

testimony at the public hearings must register 2 business days prior to
the hearings. The last day to register will be June 11, 2010, for the
Arlington, Virginia, hearing and June 18, 2010, for the Houston, Texas,
and Los Angeles, California, hearings. The registration cut-off time is
5 p.m. EDT on the final day of registration. See SUPPLEMENTARY

whose disclosure is restricted by statute. Do not submit information

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,

The public hearings will be held at the following times and

above registration closes at 5 p.m. EDT 2 business days prior to each
public hearing.
Oral testimony will be limited to 6 minutes for each commenter to
address the proposal. We will not be providing equipment for commenters
to show overhead slides or make computerized slide presentations. EPA
encourages commenters to provide two copies of their oral testimony
either electronically on computer disk, CD-ROM, or paper copy. The
hearing schedule, including a list of speakers, will be posted on EPA's
Web site for the proposal at http://www.epa.gov/airquality/combustion

comment period will be considered with the same weight as any oral
comments and supporting information presented at the public hearing.

allow for adequate time for public comment after the public hearings.
