Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans; Pennsylvania; Revised Motor Vehicle Emission Budgets for the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre 8-Hour Ozone Maintenance Area, 40122-40123 [E9-18868]

Download as PDF srobinson on DSKHWCL6B1PROD with PROPOSALS 40122 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 153 / Tuesday, August 11, 2009 / Proposed Rules Licensing and Consumer Protection Division requested a 60-day extension. Finally, the American Association of Law Libraries (‘‘AALL’’) requested a 30day extension. These entities explain that extension of the comment period will allow them to provide more comprehensive comments. Specifically, the states explain that they are compiling data responsive to some of the Notice’s specific questions and that the data they collect may be relevant to the Commission’s decision on whether to expand the Negative Option Rule to cover additional types of negative option offers. Similarly, Broward County explains that it has received numerous complaints concerning trial conversion negative option offers that it believes demonstrate that an expansion of the Rule’s coverage is warranted. Finally, the AALL explains that it represents ‘‘more than 5000 law librarians who are institutional consumers of enormous amounts of legal and other published material,’’ and as such, are parties to many types of negative option plans. AALL states that it is requesting information from its membership regarding the Rule and an extension of the comment period would provide it with additional time to collect this data. All of this data would assist the Commission in evaluating the Rule’s effectiveness and determining whether there is reason to believe that unfair or deceptive acts or practices in non-Rule covered negative option marketing are ‘‘prevalent.’’ Moreover, the requested short extension of the comment period will not substantially delay the rulemaking process. The Commission is mindful of the need to deal with this matter expeditiously; however, it also recognizes that its Notice requests comments on complex issues and believes that extending the comment period to facilitate the creation of a more complete record outweighs any harm that might result from any delay. The requests for an extension of the comment period were filed close to the comment deadline; therefore, there was insufficient time to extend the comment period. Accordingly, the Commission has decided to re-open the comment period for sixty (60) days, until October 13, 2009, to allow for additional comment. By direction of the Commission. Donald S. Clark, Secretary. [FR Doc.

A detailed rationale for the approval is set forth in the direct final rule. If no adverse comments are received in response to this action, no further activity is contemplated. If EPA receives adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received will be addressed in a subsequent final rule based on this proposed rule.
