ACTION: Proposed rule: corrections,
extension of the comment period, and
additional public hearings.
AGENCY:
On June 21, 2010, EPA
proposed to regulate the disposal of coal
combustion residuals generated from
the combustion of coal at electric
utilities and by independent power
producers. This action makes several
administrative corrections in the
preamble to the proposed rule, which
were discovered after the proposal was
published in the Federal Register. In
addition, EPA is providing notice that
additional support documents are
available for public inspection in the
rulemaking docket.
This action also extends the deadline
for submitting written comments on the
proposed rule to November 19, 2010.
This extension provides an additional
60 days for the public to provide written
comments. EPA received numerous
requests for an extension of the
comment period and this notice is the
Agency’s response to those persons who
requested an extension of the comment
period.
Also, in response to significant public
interest in the proposed rule, the
Agency recently announced on its Web
site that it will conduct two additional
public hearings on the proposed rule,
one in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and the
other in Louisville, Kentucky, and an
additional Webinar. Additional
information on these announcements is
included in this notice.
DATES: Comments on the proposed rule
must be received on or before November
19, 2010.
