ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

Federal Register Volume 80, Issue 74 (April 17, 2015)

On December 31, 2014, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) published in the Federal Register a proposed rule to fully approve the Texas New Source Review (NSR) State Implementation Plan (SIP) for establishing the Flexible Permit Program and requested comment by January 30, 2015. The EPA is reopening the original public comment period of 30 days for the proposed rule for an additional 30 days from the date of publication. The reopening is necessary because we neglected to include certain supporting materials in the electronic docket. All previously submitted comments will be responded to as appropriate, and members of the public who have submitted comments during the prior comment period need not resubmit them at this time.

Reopening of Public Comment Period for Proposed Action; Texas; 
Revisions to the New Source Review State Implementation Plan; Flexible 
Permit Program

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule; reopening of comment period.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: On December 31, 2014, the Environmental Protection Agency 
(EPA) published in the Federal Register a proposed rule to fully 
approve the Texas New Source Review (NSR) State Implementation Plan 
(SIP) for establishing the Flexible Permit Program and requested 
comment by January 30, 2015. The EPA is reopening the original public 
comment period of 30 days for the proposed rule for an additional 30 
days from the date of publication. The reopening is necessary because 
we neglected to include certain supporting materials in the electronic 
docket. All previously submitted comments will be responded to as 
appropriate, and members of the public who have submitted comments 
during the prior comment period need not resubmit them at this time.

DATES: The comment period for the proposed rule published December 31, 
2014 (79 FR 78752), is reopened. Written comments must be received on 
or before May 18, 2015.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by Docket ID No. EPA-R06-

    Instructions: Direct your comments to Docket ID No. EPA-R06-OAR-
2013-0542. The EPA's policy is that all comments received will be 
included in the public docket without change and may be made available 
online at http://www.regulations.gov, including any personal 
information provided, unless the comment includes information claimed 
to be Confidential Business Information (CBI) or other information the 
disclosure of which is restricted by statute. Do not submit information 
through http://www.regulations.gov or email, if you believe that it is 
CBI or otherwise protected from disclosure. The http://www.regulations.gov Web site is an ``anonymous access'' system, which 
means that the EPA will not know your identity or contact information 
unless you provide it in the body of your comment. If you send an email 
comment directly to EPA without going through http://www.regulations.gov, your email address will be automatically captured 
and included as part of the comment that is placed in the public docket 
and made available on the Internet. If you submit an electronic 
comment, we recommend that you include your name and other contact 
information in the body of your comment along with any disk or CD-ROM 
submitted. If we cannot read your comment due to technical difficulties 
and cannot contact you for clarification, we may not be able to 
consider your comment. Electronic files should avoid the use of special 
characters and any form of encryption and should be free of any defects 
or viruses. For additional information about our public docket, visit 
the EPA Docket Center homepage at http://www.epa.gov/epahome/dockets.htm.
    Docket: The index to the docket for this action is available 
electronically at www.regulations.gov and in hard copy at EPA Region 6, 
1445 Ross Avenue, Suite 700, Dallas, Texas. While all documents in the 
docket are listed in the index, some information may be publicly 
available only at the hard copy location (e.g., copyrighted material), 
and some may not be publicly available at either location (e.g., CBI).
