On March 14, 2018, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) proposed a rule titled, ``National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants: Leather Finishing Operations Residual Risk and Technology Review.'' The EPA is reopening the comment period on the proposed rule that closed on April 30, 2018. The EPA is taking this action because the supporting document--Analysis of Demographic Factors for Populations Living Near Leather Finishing Operations--was inadvertently not included in the docket for this proposed rule. As this analysis is now available to the public, the EPA has reopened the comment period for an additional 30 days.

National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants: Leather 
Finishing Operations Residual Risk and Technology Review

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule; reopening of comment period.

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

SUMMARY: On March 14, 2018, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) 
proposed a rule titled, ``National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air 
Pollutants: Leather Finishing Operations Residual Risk and Technology 
Review.'' The EPA is reopening the comment period on the proposed rule 
that closed on April 30, 2018. The EPA is taking this action because 
the supporting document--Analysis of Demographic Factors for 
Populations Living Near Leather Finishing Operations--was inadvertently 
not included in the docket for this proposed rule. As this analysis is 
now available to the public, the EPA has reopened the comment period 
for an additional 30 days.

DATES: The public comment period for the proposed rule published in the 
Federal Register on March 14, 2018 (83 FR 11314), is reopened. Written 
comments must be received on or before June 14, 2018.
