SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. General Information

    Section 610 of the Regulatory Flexibility Act requires that an 
agency review, within 10 years of promulgation, each rule that has or 
will have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of 
small entities (SISNOSE). The EPA undertakes section 610 reviews to 
decide whether the agency should continue a rule unchanged, amend it, 
or withdraw it. We encourage small entities to provide comments on the 
need to change these rules, and in particular, how the rules could be 
made clearer, more effective, or if there is need to remove conflicting 
or overlapping requirements with other Federal or State regulations.
    The EPA has exercised its discretion to include changes made to the 
2008 RRP rule as well as solicit comments on lead-test kits in this 
review.

II. Extension of Comment Period for the Section 610 Review of the 2008 
RRP Rule

    The EPA is extending the deadline for submitting comments on the 
section 610 review of the RRP Rule to September 7, 2016. The original 
deadline for comments, based on a 60-day comment period, was August 8, 
2016. The EPA's decision responds to a request to extend the comment 
deadline. The EPA believes that this 30-day extension will assist in 
providing an adequate amount of additional time for the public to 
review the action and to provide written comments.
