SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On January 25, 2008 (73 FR 4556), EPA solicited comment on the Agency’s proposed Information Collection Request (ICR) for the coalbed methane (CBM) sector. EPA identified the CBM sector as a candidate for a detailed study in the final 2006 Effluent Guidelines Program Plan (71 FR 76656; December 21, 2006) and also identified that it would develop an industry questionnaire to support this detailed study and would seek Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approval under the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA). EPA is conducting this review to determine if it would be appropriate to conduct a rulemaking to revise the effluent guidelines for the Oil and Gas Extraction Point Source VerDate Aug<31>2005 16:44 Mar 19, 2008 Jkt 214001 Category (40 CFR part 435) to control pollutants discharged in CBM-produced water. EPA also noticed it will conduct an ICR in the preliminary 2008 Plan (72 FR 61343; October 30, 2007). For each industrial sector, EPA’s planning process considers four factors: pollutants discharged, current and potential pollution prevention and control technology options, growth and economic affordability, and implementation and efficiency considerations of revising existing effluent guidelines or publishing new effluent guidelines. EPA will use this ICR to collect technical and economic information from a wide range of CBM operations to address these factors in greater detail (e.g., geographical and geologic differences in the characteristics of CBM-produced waters, environmental data, current regulatory controls, availability and affordability of treatment technology options). See final 2006 Plan (71 FR 76666). Response to the questionnaire is mandatory for recipients and EPA will administer the questionnaire using its authority under Section 308 of the CWA, 33 U.S.C. 1318. The original comment deadline was March 25, 2008. Several stakeholders have requested an extension to the comment period in order to adequately understand this new information collection and provide comments (see EPA–HQ–OW–2006–0771–1074, 1075, www.regulations.gov). This action extends the comment period for 30 days. Dated: March 14, 2008. Ephraim S. King, Director, Office of Science and Technology. [FR Doc.
