SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Throughout this document wherever “we,” “us,” or “our” is used, we mean the EPA.

On October 11, 2018 (83 FR 51403), we published in the Federal Register a proposed rule pertaining to revisions to the regional haze SIP and FIP for Wyoming and requested comment by November 13, 2018. Specifically, the SIP revisions modify the sulfur dioxide (SO₂) emissions reporting requirements for Laramie River Station Units 1 and 2. The revisions to the FIP revise the nitrogen oxides (NO_X) best available retrofit technology (BART) emission limits for Laramie River Units 1—3 and establish a SO₂ emission limit averaged annually across both Laramie River Station Units 1 and 2.

We received a request from several organizations to extend the comment period and, in response, we are extending the comment period to December 10, 2018.^[1]
