SUMMARY: EPA is extending the comment period and commitment letter time
frame for a notice published on October 31, 1996 (61 FR 56183). In the
October 31, 1996 notice, EPA proposed a conditional approval of an

involving the transfer of its I/M contract. Based on these requests,
EPA is extending the comment period and commitment letter time frame
from December 2, 1996 until January 2, 1997.
DATES: Comments on and the commitment letter for the October 31, 1996
proposed conditional approval of the Maryland I/M program must be
