AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule; extension of comment period.

received a letter requesting the extension of the proposed rule public 
comment period to allow the public additional time to review the rule 
and supporting documentation.

DATES: The public comment period on the proposed rule published in the
