public hearing was published in the Federal Register on June 7, 2012,
and is available at: http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2012-06-07/pdf/2012-13193.pdf and also in the docket identified below. The public
hearing will provide interested parties the opportunity to present oral
comments regarding the EPA's proposed standards, including data, views
or arguments concerning the proposal. The EPA may ask clarifying
questions during the oral presentations, but will not respond to the
presentations at that time. Written statements and supporting
information submitted during the comment period will be considered with
the same weight as any oral comments and supporting information
presented at the public hearing.
Commenters should notify Ms. Garrett if they will need specific
equipment or if there are other special needs related to providing
comments at the public hearing. The EPA will provide equipment for
commenters to make computerized slide presentations if we receive
special requests in advance. Oral testimony will be limited to 5
minutes for each commenter. The EPA encourages commenters to submit to
the docket a copy of their oral testimony electronically (via email or
CD) or in hard copy form.
The public hearing schedule, including lists of speakers, will be
posted on the EPA's Web site at: http://www.epa.gov/ttn/atw/rice/ricepg.html. A verbatim transcript of the hearing and written
statements will be included in the docket for the rulemaking. The EPA
