Comment Period
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.
ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking; extension of public comment
period.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: On November 7, 2014, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
proposed amendments to the national emission standards for hazardous
air pollutants for Phosphoric Acid Manufacturing and Phosphate
Fertilizer Production source categories and to new source performance
standards for several phosphate processing categories. The EPA is
extending the deadline for written comments on the proposed amendments
by 30 days to January 21, 2015. The EPA received requests for an
extension from The Fertilizer Institute, several phosphate facilities
and a testing company that supports the industry. The Fertilizer
Institute has requested the extension in order to allow more time to
review the proposed rule and associated emissions data, risk assessment
and technology review.

published in the Federal Register on November 7, 2014, (79 FR 66512) is
being extended for 30 days to January 21, 2015.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

public comment period, the EPA has decided to extend the public comment
period for an additional 30 days. Therefore, the public comment period
will end on January 21, 2015, rather than December 22, 2014. This
extension will help ensure that the public has sufficient time to
review the proposed rule and the supporting technical documents and
data available in the docket.
