40 CFR Part 86
[FRL-6159-9]
Optional Certification Streamlining Procedures for Light-Duty
Vehicles, Light-Duty Trucks, and Heavy-Duty Engines for Original
Equipment Manufacturers and for Aftermarket Conversion Manufacturers
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule; extension of public comment period.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is extending
the public comment period on the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM),
which proposes optional certification procedures for light-duty
vehicles, light duty trucks, and heavy-duty engines that meet Clean-
Fuel Vehicle requirements as well as for certain gaseous-fueled
vehicles certified to EPA's Tier 1 standards. The NPRM was published in
the Federal Register on July 20, 1998 (63 FR 38767). The purpose of
this document is to extend the comment period from August 19, 1998 to
October 13, 1998, to allow commenters additional time to respond to the
NPRM.
The document provided an opportunity for a public hearing, if
requested by August 19, 1998. No request for a hearing was made and,
therefore, no public hearing will be scheduled for this proposal.
DATES: EPA will accept comments on the NPRM until October 13, 1998.
ADDRESSES: Comments should be submitted in duplicate to the EPA Air &
Radiation Docket #A-97-27, Room 1500-M (Mail Code 6102), 401 M Street
SW., Washington, D.C. 20460. Copies of information relevant to this
NPRM are available for inspection in public docket A-97-27 at the above
address, between the hours of 8:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Monday through
Friday.
