Emissions Factors Program Improvements
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Advanced notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPRM); extension of
public comment period.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: On October 14, 2009, EPA published an Emissions Factors
Program Improvements ANPRM to convey issues raised by stakeholders
about the program, inform the public of our initial ideas to address
these issues, and solicit comments on our current thinking to resolve
these issues. EPA has received several requests from stakeholders to
grant additional time to provide comments on the ANPRM. Given that EPA
published the ANPRM specifically to obtain public comments on the
emissions factors program and the potential improvements to the
program, EPA finds this request to be reasonable. Thus, the comment
period is being extended 30 additional days to December 14, 2009.

any defects or viruses.
