Assessment of Visibility Impairment at the Grand Canyon National
Park:
Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking; Extension of Public
Comment Period
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.
ACTION: Advance notice of proposed rulemaking; extension of public
comment period.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is extending the
comment period for an advance notice of proposed rulemaking, published
June 17, 1999 (64 FR 32458), regarding visibility impairment at the
Grand Canyon National Park (GCNP) and the possibility that the Mohave
Generating Station (MGS) in Laughlin, Nevada may contribute to that
impairment. In the June 17 notice, EPA requests information that it
should consider in determining whether visibility problems at the GCNP
can be reasonably attributed to MGS, and if so, what, if any, pollution
control requirements should be applied.
The public comment period for the advance notice of proposed
rulemaking was originally due to expire on August 16, 1999. On August
6, 1999, at the request of Southern California Edison Company, EPA
published a notice extending the public comment period for 30 days (64
FR 42891). On September 14, 1999, at the request of the Grand Canyon
Trust, EPA published a notice extending the public comment period for
an additional 15 days (64 FR 49756). At the request of both Southern
California Edison and the Grand Canyon Trust, EPA is now extending the
public comment period for an additional 21 days.
