On April 8, 2015, we published in the Federal Register a proposal to establish a FIP for the State of Arkansas addressing regional haze and visibility transport (80 FR 18944). Comments on the proposed rule were required to be received by May 16, 2015. On May 1, 2015 (80 FR 24872), we published in the Federal Register a document that announced the availability in the docket of supplemental modeling performed by us and extended the comment period until July 15, 2015, to allow interested persons additional time to prepare and submit comments. On July 6, 2015, we received a request from the Domtar Ashdown Mill to extend the comment period for an additional 45 days for the purpose of allowing it to complete modeling work and submit to us information it believes to be essential and related to a significant aspect of the proposed FIP requirements for the Domtar Ashdown Mill. On July 13, 2015, we received a renewed and revised request from the Domtar Ashdown Mill to extend the comment period until August 4, 2015. Given that the comment period closed on July 15, 2015, we are unable to extend the comment period, but will reopen the comment period for 15 days from the date of today’s publication. We will also consider any comments submitted to us in the interim period following the close of the public comment period on July 15, 2015, and prior to today’s publication. This reopening will allow the Domtar Ashdown Mill and other interested persons additional time to submit comments to us.
