SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Rationale. The EPA received a request
for additional time to review and
comment on the supplemental proposed
rule from a regulated entity (FreeportMcMorRan Miami, Inc.). This request is
available in the docket (Docket ID No.
EPA–HQ–OAR–2020–0430). They noted
that a document in the docket (Docket
ID No. EPA–HQ–OAR–2020–0430)
contained typographical errors.
Specifically, the memorandum that was
intended to show the proposed rule
edits (in redline strikeout) that would be
necessary to incorporate the changes to
40 CFR part 63, subpart QQQ proposed

(88 FR 47415) was inadvertently
converted to a clean document before it
was posted to the docket. We posted the
updated correct document to https://
www.epa.gov/stationary-sources-airpollution/primary-copper-smeltingnational-emissions-standardshazardous-air, to replace the previous
document (that had the typographical
errors). We also added the correct
document to the docket, under Docket
ID No. EPA–HQ–OAR–2020–0430,
which is available at https://
www.regulations.gov, and notified the
entity within 8 days of publication of
the supplemental notice. After
considering this request, the EPA has
decided to extend the public comment
period by 15 days to provide all parties
with an opportunity to review the
updated document. The public
comment period will now end on
September 22, 2023.
Docket. The EPA has established a
docket for this rulemaking under Docket
ID No. EPA–HQ–OAR–2020–0430. All
documents in the docket are listed in
https://www.regulations.gov/. Although
listed, some information is not publicly
available, e.g., Confidential Business
Information (CBI) or other information
whose disclosure is restricted by statute.
Certain other material, such as
copyrighted material, is not placed on
the internet and will be publicly
available only in hard copy. With the
exception of such material, publicly
available docket materials are available
electronically in Regulations.gov.
Instructions. Direct your comments to
Docket ID No. EPA–HQ–OAR–2020–
0430. The EPA’s policy is that all
comments received will be included in
the public docket without change and
may be made available online at https://
www.regulations.gov/, including any
personal information provided, unless
the comment includes information
claimed to be CBI or other information
whose disclosure is restricted by statute.
Do not submit electronically to https://
www.regulations.gov/ any information
that you consider to be CBI or other
information whose disclosure is
restricted by statute. This type of

The EPA may publish any comment
received to its public docket.
Multimedia submissions (audio, video,

you wish to make. The EPA will
generally not consider comments or
comment contents located outside of the
primary submission (i.e., on the Web,
cloud, or other file sharing system). For

to put facts and arguments before the
Commission in a manner such that they
may be relied upon in the decisionmaking process consistent with the
requirements of the Administrative
Procedure Act. However, at the option

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Rationale. The EPA received a request for additional time to review
and comment on the supplemental proposed rule from a regulated entity
(Freeport-McMorRan Miami, Inc.). This request is available in the
docket (Docket ID No. EPA-HQ-OAR-2020-0430). They noted that a document
in the docket (Docket ID No. EPA-HQ-OAR-2020-0430) contained
typographical errors. Specifically, the memorandum that was intended to
show the proposed rule edits (in redline strikeout) that would be
necessary to incorporate the changes to 40 CFR part 63, subpart QQQ
proposed in the action published on July 24, 2023 (88 FR 47415) was

docket. We posted the updated correct document to https://www.epa.gov/stationary-sources-air-pollution/primary-copper-smelting-national-emissions-standards-hazardous-air, to replace the previous document

considering this request, the EPA has decided to extend the public
comment period by 15 days to provide all parties with an opportunity to
review the updated document. The public comment period will now end on
September 22, 2023.
Docket. The EPA has established a docket for this rulemaking under
Docket ID No. EPA-HQ-OAR-2020-0430. All documents in the docket are
listed in https://www.regulations.gov/. Although listed, some
information is not publicly available, e.g., Confidential Business
Information (CBI) or other information whose disclosure is restricted

Instructions. Direct your comments to Docket ID No. EPA-HQ-OAR-
2020-0430. The EPA's policy is that all comments received will be
included in the public docket without change and may be made available
online at https://www.regulations.gov/, including any personal
information provided, unless the comment includes information claimed
to be CBI or other information whose disclosure is restricted by
statute. Do not submit electronically to https://www.regulations.gov/
any information that you consider to be CBI or other information whose
disclosure is restricted by statute. This type of information should be
submitted as discussed below.
The EPA may publish any comment received to its public docket.
Multimedia submissions (audio, video, etc.) must be accompanied by a
written comment. The written comment is considered the official comment
and should include discussion of all points you wish to make. The EPA
will generally not consider comments or comment contents located
outside of the primary submission (i.e., on the Web, cloud, or other
file sharing system). For additional submission methods, the full EPA
public comment policy, information about CBI or multimedia submissions,
and general guidance on making effective comments, please visit https://www.epa.gov/dockets/commenting-epa-dockets.
The https://www.regulations.gov/ website allows you to submit your
comment anonymously, which means the EPA will not know your identity or
contact information unless you provide it in the body of your comment.
If you send an email comment directly to the EPA without going through
https://www.regulations.gov/, your email address will be automatically
captured and included as part of the comment that is placed in the
public docket and made available on the internet. If you submit an
electronic comment, the EPA recommends that you include your name and
other contact information in the body of your comment and with any
digital storage media you submit. If the EPA cannot read your comment
due to technical difficulties and cannot contact you for clarification,
the EPA may not be able to consider your comment. Electronic files
should not include special characters or any form of encryption and be
free of any defects or viruses. For additional information about the
EPA's public docket, visit the EPA Docket Center homepage at https://www.epa.gov/dockets.
Submitting CBI. Do not submit information containing CBI to the EPA
through https://www.regulations.gov/. Clearly mark the part or all of
the information that you claim to be CBI. For CBI information on any
digital storage media that you mail to the EPA, note the docket ID,
mark the outside of the digital storage media as CBI, and identify
electronically within the digital storage media the specific
information that is claimed as CBI. In addition to one complete version
of the comments that includes information claimed as CBI, you must
submit a copy of the comments that does not contain the information
claimed as CBI directly to the public docket through the procedures
outlined in Instructions above. If you submit any digital storage media
that does not contain CBI, mark the outside of the digital storage
media clearly that it does not contain CBI and note the docket ID.
Information not marked as CBI will be included in the public docket and
the EPA's electronic public docket without prior notice. Information
marked as CBI will not be disclosed except in accordance with
procedures set forth in 40 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) part 2.
Our preferred method to receive CBI is for it to be transmitted
electronically

using email attachments, File Transfer Protocol (FTP), or other online
file sharing services (e.g., Dropbox, OneDrive, Google Drive).
Electronic submissions must be transmitted directly to the OAQPS CBI
Office at the email address [email protected], and as described above,
should include clear CBI markings and note the docket ID. If assistance
is needed with submitting large electronic files that exceed the file
size limit for email attachments, and if you do not have your own file
sharing service, please email [email protected] to request a file
transfer link. If sending CBI information through the postal service,
please send it to the following address: OAQPS Document Control Officer
