SUMMARY: EPA is issuing this NODA in support of the proposed rule
published on May 14, 2007, entitled Standards of Performance for
Petroleum Refineries. EPA received a number of comments on the proposed

analyses were inadvertently left out of the docket EPA-HQ-OAR-2007-

    This NODA notifies the public that we have added data and analyses
to the docket and provides an additional comment period for the
proposed rule. Comments on all aspects of this proposal are welcome.

EPA-HQ-OAR-2007-0011. EPA's policy is that all comments received will

whose disclosure is restricted by statute. Do not submit information

comment due to technical difficulties and cannot contact you for
clarification, EPA may not be able to consider your comment. Electronic

encryption, and be free of any defects or viruses. For additional
