AGENCY: Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Intent to consider lifting
administrative stay; opportunity for
public comment; extension of comment
period.
SUMMARY: On February 26, 2010, EPA
issued a Federal Register document
concerning the Agency’s intent to
consider lifting the Administrative Stay
of the Emergency Planning and
Community Right-to- Know Act

release reporting requirements for
hydrogen sulfide (Chemical Abstracts
Service Number (CAS No.) 7783–06–4)
(75 FR 8889). The purpose of today’s
action is to inform interested parties
that, in response to a request for an
extension, EPA is extending the
comment period by 15 days until May
12, 2010. The comment period was
previously scheduled to close on April
27, 2010.
DATES: Comments must be received on
or before May 12, 2010.

provide it in the body of your comment.
If you send an e-mail comment directly
to EPA without going through https://
www.regulations.gov, your e-mail
address will be automatically captured

EPA has received a request on behalf
of a number of groups to extend the
comment period on EPA’s intent to
consider lifting the Administrative Stay
of the EPCRA section 313 reporting

groups requesting an extension are the
American Coke and Coal Chemicals
Institute, American Forest and Paper
Association, American Petroleum
Institute, Asphalt Institute, Carbon
Disulfide Coalition, Corn Refiners
Association and The Sulphur Institute.
These groups have requested additional
time to review relevant information and
prepare comments. EPA has considered
this request and has determined that
extending the comment period is an
appropriate action. Therefore, EPA is
extending the comment period on the
February 26, 2010, Federal Register

Management Agency, DHS.
ACTION: Proposed rule.
SUMMARY: Comments are requested on
the proposed Base (1% annual-chance)
Flood Elevations (BFEs) and proposed
BFE modifications for the communities
listed in the table below. The purpose
of this document is to seek general
information and comment regarding the
proposed regulatory flood elevations for
the reach described by the downstream
and upstream locations in the table
below. The BFEs and modified BFEs are
a part of the floodplain management
measures that the community is
required either to adopt or to show
evidence of having in effect in order to
qualify or remain qualified for
participation in the National Flood
Insurance Program (NFIP). In addition,
these elevations, once finalized, will be
used by insurance agents and others to
calculate appropriate flood insurance
premium rates for new buildings and
the contents in those buildings.
DATES: Comments are to be submitted
on or before July 13, 2010.
ADDRESSES: The corresponding
preliminary Flood Insurance Rate Map
(FIRM) for the proposed BFEs for each
community is available for inspection at
the community’s map repository. The
respective addresses are listed in the
table below.
