ACTION: Notice of public hearings and extension of public comment period. SUMMARY: On May 6, 2009, EPA proposed amendments to the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants from the Portland Cement Manufacturing Industry (74 FR 21136). EPA has received a request from a major environmental group to schedule additional public hearings and to schedule those hearings later than the original public hearing date. Given the significant public interest in this rule and to further public participation opportunities, EPA is granting the request and has scheduled three public hearings. These hearings will occur in Los Angeles, California on June 16, 2009, Dallas, Texas on June 17, 2009, and Arlington, Virginia on June 18, 2009. More information on the locations is shown in SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION. In addition, EPA is extending the deadline for written comments on the proposed amendments to September 4, 2009. EPA received a request for this extension to the comment period from the Portland Cement Association and several cement manufacturing companies. The reason given for the request for the extension was the need for additional time to gather data and review the proposed amendments. Given the fact that the proposed amendments would make significant changes to the current rule, and the request by the cement industry to gather VerDate Nov<24>2008 13:41 Jun 08, 2009 Jkt 217001 additional data, EPA finds this request to be reasonable.

Portland Cement Manufacturing Industry

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of public hearings and extension of public comment 
period.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: On May 6, 2009, EPA proposed amendments to the National 
Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants from the Portland 
Cement Manufacturing Industry (74 FR 21136). EPA has received a request 
from a major environmental group to schedule additional public hearings 
and to schedule those hearings later than the original public hearing 
date. Given the significant public interest in this rule and to further 
public participation opportunities, EPA is granting the request and has 
scheduled three public hearings. These hearings will occur in Los 
Angeles, California on June 16, 2009, Dallas, Texas on June 17, 2009, 
and Arlington, Virginia on June 18, 2009. More information on the 
locations is shown in SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION.
    In addition, EPA is extending the deadline for written comments on 
the proposed amendments to September 4, 2009. EPA received a request 
for this extension to the comment period from the Portland Cement 
Association and several cement manufacturing companies. The reason 
given for the request for the extension was the need for additional 
time to gather data and review the proposed amendments. Given the fact 
that the proposed amendments would make significant changes to the 
current rule, and the request by the cement industry to gather 
additional data, EPA finds this request to be reasonable.
