-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is extending the
comment period for a proposed rule published on June 1, 2017. In the
June 1, 2017 proposed rule, EPA proposed to approve portions of the
State of Delaware's December 14, 2015 state implementation plan (SIP)
submittal to address the infrastructure requirements for the 2012 fine
particulate matter (PM2.5) national ambient air quality
standards (NAAQS). EPA is extending the comment period due to
erroneously
[[Page 28433]]
omitting the technical support document (TSD) in the docket. This
proposed rule corrects this omission and provides notice of the
availability of the TSD which supports EPA's analysis. All comments
received on or before July 24, 2017 will be entered into the public
record and considered by EPA before taking final action on the proposed
rule. Comments submitted between the close of the original comment
period and the re-opening of this comment period will be accepted and
considered.
DATES: Written comments must be received on or before July 24, 2017.
ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by Docket ID No. EPA-R03-
OAR-2017-0152 at http://www.regulations.gov, or via email to
[email protected]. For comments submitted at Regulations.gov,
follow the online instructions for submitting comments. Once submitted,
comments cannot be edited or removed from Regulations.gov. For either
manner of submission, EPA may publish any comment received to its
public docket. Do not submit electronically any information you
consider to be confidential business information (CBI) or other
information whose disclosure is restricted by statute. Multimedia
submissions (audio, video, etc.) must be accompanied by a written
comment. The written comment is considered the official comment and
should include discussion of all points you wish to make. EPA will
generally not consider comments or comment contents located outside of
the primary submission (i.e. on the web, cloud, or other file sharing
system). For additional submission methods, please contact the person
identified in the For Further Information Contact section. For the full
EPA public comment policy, information about CBI or multimedia
submissions, and general guidance on making effective comments, please

Federal Register a proposal to approve portions of the State of
