Reopening of Comment Period
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Notice; reopening of comment period.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is reopening
the comment period for Effluent Limitations Guidelines, Pretreatment
Standards, and New Source Performance Standards: Centralized Waste
Treatment Category: Data Availability; Proposed Rule, which was
published in the Federal Register on
[[Page 56651]]
September 16, 1996 (61 FR 48805). The public comment period for the
Notice of Data Availability ended on October 16, 1996.
EPA has received several requests for an extension of time to
comment on the Notice of Data Availability. These requests are from
facilities that may be affected by the final rule. The additional time
will provide the opportunity for more thorough review of new
information and facility profiles and in turn, allow more informed
public comment. The Agency has determined that an extension of time is
in the public interest, and that an additional 20 days to comment on
the Notice of Data Availability is reasonable.
DATES: Comments on this notice are solicited and will be accepted until
November 25, 1996. Comments are to be submitted in triplicate, and also
in electronic format (diskettes) if possible.
ADDRESS: Comments are to be submitted to Mr. Ed Terry at the following
address: Engineering and Analysis Division (4303), U.S. EPA, 401 M
Street, S.W., Washington, D.C. 20460.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. Ed Terry, Engineering and Analysis
Division (4303), U.S. EPA, 401 M Street, S.W., Washington, D.C. 20460,
telephone number (202) 260-7128 or via EMAIL at:
terry.ed@epamail.epa.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On September 16, 1996, EPA published a
notice in the Federal Register which describes the new information the
Agency has obtained since the proposed rulemaking (60 FR 5464, January
27, 1995) for the Centralized Waste Treatment (CWT) Industry. The
notice also explains the Agency's revised estimates of the size and
regulatory impact of the proposed rulemaking on the proposed oils
treatment and recovery subcategory and presents preliminary results of
EPA detailed analysis for the subcategory.
This extension of time for comment does not represent any
modification of the notice of data availability. The extension of time
for receipt of comments simply provides interested parties an
additional 20 days to provide comments to the Agency on the Notice of
Data Availability. All other requirements stipulated in the initial
notice for receipt of comments still apply.
All written comments submitted in accordance with the instructions
in the Notice of Data Availability and received by November 25, 1996,
including those received between the close of the comment period on
October 16, 1996, and the publication of this notice, will be entered
into the public record and considered by EPA before promulgation of the
final rule.
Dated: October 28, 1996.
Robert Perciasepe,
Assistant Administrator for Water.
