ACTION: Proposed rule; reopening of the
comment period.
AGENCY:
The Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) is reopening the comment
period for a proposed Clean Air Act rule
published June 26, 2014. EPA solicited
comment on whether events subsequent
to a prior comment period should alter
EPA’s proposed disapproval of a June 4,
2003, Ohio submission with respect to
SIP opacity limitations. In response to
requests from the Ohio Environmental
Protection Agency (Ohio EPA) and from
the Ohio Utility Group, EPA is
reopening the comment period for 30
days.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Throughout this document whenever
‘‘we,’’ ‘‘us,’’ or ‘‘our’’ is used, we mean
the EPA.
On June 27, 2005, EPA proposed to
disapprove provisions relating to
opacity limitations contained in an Ohio
submittal dated June 4, 2003. EPA is
evaluating the public comments
received in response to the proposed
disapproval. Given the passage of time,
E:\FR\FM\08AUP1.SGM
08AUP1
46384
Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 153 / Friday, August 8, 2014 / Proposed Rules
on June 26, 2014 (79 FR 36277), EPA
solicited supplemental comment
specifically with respect to whether
events subsequent to the prior comment
period should alter EPA’s proposed
disapproval of Ohio’s submission dated
June 4, 2003, with respect to SIP opacity
limitations. EPA did not solicit
comments on Ohio’s submission or
EPA’s proposed action of June 27, 2005,
on that submission, except to the extent
that events subsequent to the original
comment period are relevant to EPA’s
evaluation of the submission and EPA’s
proposed action. This was not a
reopening of the original comment
period, but the opening of a
supplemental comment period. In the
supplemental proposal, we requested
comment by July 28, 2014. We received
a request from the Ohio EPA, on July 7,
2014, to extend the comment period an
additional 90 days. We also received a
similar request from the Ohio Utility
Group on July 17, 2014. EPA has
considered these requests and has
decided to reopen the comment period
for an additional 30 days. EPA considers
a comment period extended by more
than 30 days (including time between
July 28, 2014 and today) to be more than
sufficient to research and analyze any
events subsequent to the original
comment period which might be
relevant to this supplemental comment
period. Neither Ohio EPA nor the Ohio
Utility Group identified any particularly
time-consuming issues relevant to the
supplemental comment period, nor is
EPA aware of any. The comment period
now closes on September 8, 2014.
Dated: July 29, 2014.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Throughout this document whenever ``we,''

On June 27, 2005, EPA proposed to disapprove provisions relating to
opacity limitations contained in an Ohio submittal dated June 4, 2003.
EPA is evaluating the public comments received in response to the
proposed disapproval. Given the passage of time,
[[Page 46384]]
on June 26, 2014 (79 FR 36277), EPA solicited supplemental comment
specifically with respect to whether events subsequent to the prior
comment period should alter EPA's proposed disapproval of Ohio's
submission dated June 4, 2003, with respect to SIP opacity limitations.
EPA did not solicit comments on Ohio's submission or EPA's proposed
action of June 27, 2005, on that submission, except to the extent that
events subsequent to the original comment period are relevant to EPA's
evaluation of the submission and EPA's proposed action. This was not a
reopening of the original comment period, but the opening of a
supplemental comment period. In the supplemental proposal, we requested
comment by July 28, 2014. We received a request from the Ohio EPA, on
July 7, 2014, to extend the comment period an additional 90 days. We
also received a similar request from the Ohio Utility Group on July 17,
2014. EPA has considered these requests and has decided to reopen the
comment period for an additional 30 days. EPA considers a comment
period extended by more than 30 days (including time between July 28,
2014 and today) to be more than sufficient to research and analyze any
events subsequent to the original comment period which might be
relevant to this supplemental comment period. Neither Ohio EPA nor the
Ohio Utility Group identified any particularly time-consuming issues
relevant to the supplemental comment period, nor is EPA aware of any.
The comment period now closes on September 8, 2014.
