ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 52
[EPA-R04-OAR-2007-1186-201013(b); FRL-9133-2]
Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plan:
Kentucky; Approval Section 110(a)(1) Maintenance Plan for the 1997 8-
Hour Ozone Standard for the Owensboro Area; Limited Reopening of
Comment Period
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule; limited reopening of the comment period.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: EPA is announcing a limited 30-day reopening of the public
comment period for the proposed rule entitled ``Approval and
Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plan: Kentucky; Approval
Section 110(a)(1) Maintenance Plan for the 1997 8-Hour Ozone Standard
for the Owensboro Area,'' for the purpose of limited public review and
comment on supplemental information that was provided by the
Commonwealth of Kentucky on July 15, 2009, in support of the Owensboro
Area 110(a)(1) maintenance plan. The Owensboro, Kentucky Area consists
of Daviess and a portion of Hancock Counties. The proposed rule was
initially published in the Federal Register on January 20, 2010. The
reason for this limited reopening of the comment period is that EPA has
learned that supplemental information relating to projected emissions
for the Owensboro Area that was referenced in the proposed rulemaking
January 20, 2010 (75 FR 3183) was inadvertently omitted from the
electronic docket when that proposed rulemaking was published. EPA has
since made that information available in the electronic docket and
wants to ensure an opportunity for the public to comment on that
information. The July 15, 2009, supplemental information can be viewed
online at http://www.regulations.gov using docket ID No. EPA-R04-OAR-
2007-1186-0043.
Thus, EPA is reopening the comment period for an additional thirty
days, for the limited purpose of providing an opportunity for public
comment only on the supplemental information added to the docket after
publication of the proposed rulemaking.
DATES: The comment period for the proposed rule published on January
20, 2010 (75 FR 3183) is reopened. Comments must be received on or
before May 3, 2010.

Instructions: Direct your comments to Docket ID No. ``EPA-R04-OAR-
2007-1186.'' EPA's policy is that all comments 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 through http://www.regulations.gov or e-mail, information that you consider to be CBI
or otherwise protected. The http://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 information about EPA's public
docket visit the EPA Docket Center homepage at http://www.epa.gov/epahome/dockets.htm.
Docket: EPA has established a docket for this action under Docket
Identification No. EPA-R04-OAR-2007-1186. All documents in the docket
are listed on the www.regulations.gov index. Although listed in the
index, some information is not publicly available, i.e., CBI or other
information whose disclosure is restricted by statute. Certain other

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The proposed rule was signed by the Acting
Regional Administrator on January 20, 2010, and published in the
Federal Register on January 20, 2010 (75 FR 3183). The comment period
for this proposed action closed on February 19, 2010. EPA did receive
adverse comments during this public comment period. However, EPA
noticed an inadvertent omission of the July 15, 2009, supplement that
Kentucky, provided from the electronic docket at http://www.regulations.gov. The July 15, 2009, supplement (which was included
in the electronic docket on February 4, 2010), contains updated
emissions inventory projections for both the Paducah and Owensboro
Areas. Since EPA makes reference to this supplement in the January 20,
2010, proposed rulemaking, EPA is reopening the comment period for this
proposed action for the limited purpose of allowing the public the
opportunity to review and consider this supplemental information in
regards to EPA's proposed rulemaking. EPA is already in receipt of
adverse comments provided for the initial proposed rulemaking published
on January 20, 2010, for the Owensboro 110(a)(1) maintenance plan.
These comments will still be under consideration for any final
rulemaking action for this area's 110(a)(1) maintenance plan.
Dated: March 17, 2010.
Beverly H. Banister,
Acting Regional Administrator, Region 4.
