ACTION: Proposed rule. PART 123—CBP RELATIONS WITH CANADA AND MEXICO * Subpart H—[Removed and Reserved] SUMMARY: On December 19, 2007, the State of California submitted an 8-hour ozone maintenance plan for the Monterey Bay Unified Air Pollution Control District and requested that EPA approve the plan as a revision to the California State Implementation Plan (SIP). In this action, EPA is proposing to approve the maintenance plan. In the ‘‘Rules and Regulations’’ section of this PO 00000 Frm 00011 Fmt 4702 Sfmt 4702 Federal Register, EPA is approving the State’s request for approval of the maintenance plan as a direct final rule without prior proposal because the Agency views the maintenance plan and SIP revision as non-controversial and anticipates no adverse comments. A detailed rationale for the approval is set forth in the direct final rule. If no adverse comments are received in response to this proposed rule, no further activity is contemplated in relation to this rule. If EPA receives adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received will be addressed in a subsequent final rule based on this proposed rule.

SUMMARY: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is extending to March 29, 2010, the comment period for the notice of proposed rulemaking by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) of CDC, entitled ‘‘Total Inward Leakage Requirements for Respirators,’’ published in the Federal Register on Friday, October 30, 2009 (74 FR 56141).

The Agency is taking this action in response to requests for an extension to allow interested parties additional time to submit comments.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Department of Health and Human Services published a proposed rule entitled ‘‘Total Inward Leakage Requirements for Respirators,’’ on Friday, October 30, 2009 (74 FR 56141). A public meeting was held on December 3, 2009. The proposed rule would establish total inward leakage (TIL) requirements for half-mask air-purifying particulate respirators approved by NIOSH. The proposed new requirements specify TIL minimum performance requirements and testing to be conducted by NIOSH and respirator manufacturers to demonstrate that these respirators, when selected and used correctly, provide effective respiratory protection to intended users against toxic dusts, mists, fumes, fibers, and biological and infectious aerosols (e.g. influenza A(H5N1), severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) coronavirus, and Mycobacterium tuberculosis). CDC received a written request to extend the comment period for 90 days beyond the December 3, 2009 public meeting on this proposed rule. CDC also received notice during presentations at the December 3, 2009 public meeting that two stakeholders intend to submit written requests for 90-day extensions from the original December 29 deadline. One of these stakeholders indicated that additional time is necessary in order to conduct laboratory research and collect and analyze data on the potential impact of the proposed rule. CDC has considered the requests and is extending the comment period for an additional 90 days past the original deadline of December 29, 2009, such that all written comments must now be received on or before March 29, 2010. The proposed rule contains only one performance requirement and uses criteria and a test method which are already required by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) for the use of this type of respirator. This extended deadline will have provided commenters with a full 90 days for comment on the proposed rule while preserving the Agency’s ability to make timely progress on this occupational health priority. Dated: December 10, 2009. Kathleen Sebelius, Secretary. [FR Doc. E9–29959 Filed 12–16–09; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE P E:\FR\FM\17DEP1.SGM 17DEP1

direct final rule. If no adverse comments are received in response to 
this proposed rule, no further activity is contemplated in relation to 
this rule. 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. EPA will not
