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 https://
www.regulations.gov or e-mail. The
https://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 https://
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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
NODA that is the subject of this notice,
and which was published in the Federal
Register on August 29, 2007 (72 FR
49714), announces the availability of
new information and data contained in
VerDate Aug<31>2005

Jkt 214001
three documents that the Agency is
requesting public comments on,
concerning the management of CCW in
landfills and surface impoundments.
The three documents that the Agency is
requesting comments on are: A joint
U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and
EPA report entitled, Coal Combustion
Waste Management at Landfills and
Surface Impoundments, 1994–2004; a
draft risk assessment conducted by EPA
on the management of CCW in landfills
and surface impoundments; and EPA’s
damage case assessment. The Agency is
soliciting comments on the extent to
which the damage case information, the
results of the risk assessment, and the
new liner and ground water monitoring
information from the DOE/EPA report
should affect the Agency’s decisions.
EPA is also requesting direct comment
on the draft risk assessment document
to help inform a planned peer review.
In addition, the Agency has included in
the docket to the NODA a rulemaking
petition submitted by a number of
citizens’ groups, as well as two
approaches regarding the management
of CCW, one prepared by the electric
utility industry and the other prepared
by a number of citizens’ groups. The
Agency will consider all the information
provided through the NODA, the
comments and new information
submitted on the NODA, as well as the
results of a subsequent peer review of
the risk assessment, as it continues to
follow-up on its Regulatory
Determination for CCW disposed of in
landfills and surface impoundments.
The comment period for the NODA
was scheduled to close on November 27,
2007. However, a number of
environmental groups requested that
EPA extend the comment period by 75
days, noting that additional time was
needed in order to comment
meaningfully on the information
contained in the NODA and to perform
extensive analysis on several
documents, some of which are highly
technical. The commenters also noted
that, due to the length and complexity
of the draft risk assessment (Human and
Ecological Risk Assessment of Coal
Combustion Wastes), it would be
necessary to engage expert review that
will consequently increase the time
necessary to prepare their comments.
EPA believed that the 90-day public
comment period originally established
was reasonable. However, since the
Agency will be considering all the
information provided through the
comments and new information
submitted on the NODA, as well as the
results of a subsequent peer review of
the risk assessment, we believed it was
important that commenters have
PO 00000
Frm 00035
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
adequate time to analyze the data
noticed in the NODA so that they may
provide informed and meaningful
comments to the Agency. Therefore, we
decided to extend the comment period
by 60 days, thereby extending the
comment period to 150 days. We
believed an additional 60 days was
adequate for commenters to analyze the
data noticed in the NODA and available
in the docket to the NODA. Because the
60-day extension would have ended on
January 26, 2008, which is a Saturday,
the comment period was extended until
the following Monday, January 28, 2008.
The same group of commenters, noted
above, requested a short amount of
additional time to finish gathering
information that is necessary to
complete their comments. We believe
this request is reasonable given the
nature and volume of materials
provided for comment; therefore, we are
reopening the comment period from the
date of publication of this notice to
close on February 11, 2008.
