proposed rule to approve changes to the Oregon State Implementation

permitting programs, and add state level air quality designations. The 
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.
