proposed rule to approve changes to the Oregon State Implementation

changes also address public notice procedures for informational
meetings, and tighten emission standards for dust and smoke. A
commenter requested more time to review the proposal and prepare
comments. In response to this request, the EPA is reopening the public
comment period.
