National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for
Pesticide Active Ingredient Production

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule; Extension of public comment period.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The EPA is announcing a 30-day extension of the public comment
period for the proposed ``National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air
Pollutants for Pesticide Active Ingredient Production.'' As initially
published in the Federal Register on November 10, 1997 (62 FR 60565),
written comments on the proposed rule were to be submitted to the EPA
on or before January 9, 1998 (a 60-day public comment period). The
public comment period is being extended for 30 days and will now end on
February 9, 1998.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before February 9, 1998.

ADDRESSES: Comments should be submitted (in duplicate, if possible) to
the Air and Radiation Docket and Information Center (6102), Attention:
Docket No. A-95-20, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, 401 M Street
S.W., Washington, DC 20460. The EPA requests that a separate copy also
be sent to the contact person listed under the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION
CONTACT section. Comments and data may also be submitted electronically
by following the instructions provided in the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION

    Discussion. On November 10, 1997, at 62 FR 60565, the EPA published
the proposed National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants
for Pesticide Active Ingredient Production and provided a 60-day public
comment period. Requests have been received to extend the public
comment period beyond the 60 days originally provided. These requests
have been made by businesses that will be affected by the rule. Their
request for this extension is primarily based on the fact that
Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays occur during the comment period
which would cause hardship on their ability to provide timely and
useful comments. In consideration of these concerns, the EPA is
extending the comment period by 30 days (until February 9, 1998), in
order to give all interested persons the opportunity to comment fully.

    Dated: December 9, 1997.
Richard D. Wilson,
Acting Assistant Administrator for Air and Radiation.
