AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule; reopening of the public comment period.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is reopening the 
public comment period for the proposed approval of Rhode Island's 
enhanced motor vehicle inspection and maintenance program State 
Implementation Plan (SIP) revision. The proposed rule published in the 
Federal Register on November 14, 2017. Written comments on the proposed 
rule were to be submitted to EPA on or before December 14, 2017. The 
purpose of this document is to reopen the comment period for an 
additional 30 days. This extension of the comment period is provided to 
allow the public additional time to provide comment on the November 14, 
2017 proposed rule.

DATES: Written comments must be received on or before April 2, 2018.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by Docket ID No. EPA-R01-
OAR-2009-0436 at www.regulations.gov, or via email to 
garcia.ariel@epa.gov. For comments submitted at Regulations.gov, follow 
the online instructions for submitting comments. Once submitted, 
comments cannot be edited or removed from Regulations.gov. For either 
manner of submission, the EPA may publish any comment received to its 
public docket. Do not submit electronically any information you 
consider to be Confidential Business Information (CBI) or other 
information whose disclosure is restricted by statute. Multimedia 
submissions (audio, video,

[[Page 8962]]

etc.) must be accompanied by a written comment. The written comment is 
considered the official comment and should include discussion of all 
points you wish to make. The EPA will generally not consider comments 
or comment contents located outside of the primary submission (i.e., on 
the web, cloud, or other file sharing system). For additional 
submission methods, please contact the person identified in the FOR 
FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section. For the full EPA public comment 
policy, information about CBI or multimedia submissions, and general

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Background: In the withdrawal of direct final rule published in the 
Federal Register on January 9, 2018 (83 FR 984), EPA stated the intent 
to institute an extended comment period for the November 14, 2017 
proposed rule (82 FR 52682) by publishing a notice of data 
availability.
    Extension of Comment Period: The adverse comment received on EPA's 
direct final rule requested that EPA hold a new public comment period, 
because EPA did not make all relevant documents available in the docket 
at www.regulations.gov. EPA has made available all documents, which are 
compatible with the electronic docket system, at the docket identified 
by Docket ID No. EPA-R01-OAR-2009-0436 at www.regulations.gov. All 
other documents, including emissions modeling files submitted as part 
of Rhode Island's enhanced motor vehicles inspection and maintenance 
program SIP revision, are available for public review by visiting the 
EPA New England Regional Office or by contacting the contact listed in 
the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section. This reopening of comment 
period also serves as the notice of data availability referenced in the 
January 9, 2018 withdrawal of direct final rule.
