AGENCY:
SUMMARY: The U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency (‘‘EPA’’), in response
to many requests from the public, is
extending the public comment period
on the waiver application to increase
the allowable ethanol content of
gasoline to 15 percent (‘‘E15’’) which
was submitted by Growth Energy and 54
ethanol manufacturers on March 6,
2009. EPA published notice of receipt
and request for comment in the Federal
Register for Growth Energy’s
application on April 21, 2009 (74 FR
18228). The public comment period was
to end on May 21, 2009. The purpose of
this document is to extend the comment
period an additional 60 days until July
20, 2009. This extension of the comment
period is provided to allow the public
additional time to respond to the legal
and technical issues raised in the
application. This action does not extend
the 270-day statutory deadline for the
Administrator to grant or deny the E15
waiver request, which ends on
December 1, 2009.
DATES: Written comments must be
received on or before July 20, 2009.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On March 6, 2009, Growth Energy and
54 ethanol manufacturers submitted an
application to the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency for a waiver of the
prohibition of the introduction into
commerce of certain fuels and fuel
additives set forth in section 211(f) of
the Clean Air Act (‘‘the Act’’). This
application seeks a waiver for ethanolgasoline blends of up to 15 percent by
volume ethanol (‘‘E15’’). On April 21,
2009, EPA published notice for the
receipt of the application, and, as
required by section 211(f)(4) of the Act,
EPA requested public comment on all
aspects of the waiver application that
will assist the Administrator in
determining whether the statutory basis
for granting the waiver request for
ethanol-gasoline blends containing up
to E15 has been met (See 74 FR 18228).
EPA originally provided a 30-day period
for the public to respond. The deadline
for public comment was May 21, 2009.
In a letter dated April 17, 2009, the
National Corn Growers Association
requested a 60-day extension to the
comment period. On April 27, 2009,
EPA received a request from 36 national
organizations who stated they represent
a diverse cross-section of interests and
who requested a 60-day extension to the
comment window. Also on April 27,
2009, the Alliance of Automobile
Manufacturers requested a 45-day
extension. Finally, on May 6, 2009,
AllSAFE—a group of national
consumer, manufacturing, and gasoline
retailer associations that utilize gasoline
and ethanol fuel blends—requested a
minimum 30-day extension to the
comment period. In general, these
parties stated that additional time
would be needed in order to allow

Certain New Chemicals; Receipt and Status Information
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: Section 5 of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) requires
any person who intends to manufacture (defined by statute to include
import) a new chemical (i.e., a chemical not on the TSCA Inventory) to
notify EPA and comply with the statutory provisions pertaining to the
manufacture of new chemicals. Under sections 5(d)(2) and 5(d)(3) of
TSCA, EPA is required to publish a notice of receipt of a
premanufacture notice (PMN) or an application for a test marketing
exemption (TME), and to publish periodic status reports on the
chemicals under review and the receipt of notices of commencement to
manufacture those chemicals. This status report, which covers the
period from April 13, 2009 through April 24, 2009, consists of the PMNs
and pending or expired, and the notices of commencement to manufacture
a new chemical that the Agency has received under TSCA section 5 during
this time period.
DATES: Comments identified by the specific PMN number or TME number,
must be received on or before June 19, 2009.
