    SUMMARY: On May 28, 1999, the Environmental Protection Agency proposed 
    to modify the rule listing regulated substances and threshold 
    quantities for the Risk Management Program (RMP) issued under section 
    112(r) of the Clean Air Act as amended. EPA proposed that regulated 
    flammable hydrocarbon substances need not be considered in determining 
    whether more than a threshold quantity is present when the substance is 
    intended for use as a fuel and does not exceed 67,000 pounds in a 
    process that is not manufacturing the fuel, does not contain greater 
    than a threshold quantity of another regulated substance, and is not 
    collocated or interconnected to another covered process. This notice 
    extends the public comment period for the proposed rule.
    
    DATES: The comment period for the proposed rule is extended from the
    
    [[Page 34180]]
    
    original closing date of June 28, 1999 to July 28, 1999.
    
    ADDRESSES: Comments on the proposed rule should be mailed or submitted 
    to: Environmental Protection Agency, Air Docket (6102), Attn: Docket 
    No. A-99-18, Waterside Mall, 401 M St. SW, Washington, DC 20460.
