SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Throughout this document whenever 

‘‘we,’’ ‘‘us,’’ or ‘‘our’’ is used, we mean 

the EPA. On February 12, 2014, we 

published in the Federal Register a 

proposed rule on the flexible permit 

program in Texas. In the proposal, we 

requested comment by March 14, 2014. 

We received a request from the 

Environmental Integrity Project on 

February 27, 2014, to extend the 

comment period to a total of 90 days 

from the original 30 day public 

comment period. After careful analysis, 

we decided to extend the comment 

period out an additional 21 days. The 

extension length was based on 

providing commenters an additional 17 

days following the Texas Commission 

on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) 

public hearing scheduled for March 18, 

2014. This extension will provide an 

opportunity for submission of rebuttal 

and supplementary information until 

April 4, 2014.

issue of the Federal Register, we are 

publishing a direct final Notice of 

Deletion of O’Connor, also known as the

are incorporated herein. If we receive no 

adverse comment(s) on this deletion 

action, we will not take further action 

on this Notice of Intent to Delete. If we 

receive adverse comment(s), we will 

withdraw the direct final Notice of 

Deletion, and it will not take effect. We 

will, as appropriate, address all public 

comments in a subsequent final Notice 

of Deletion based on this Notice of 

Intent to Delete. We will not institute a 

second comment period on this Notice 

of Intent to Delete. Any parties 

interested in commenting must do so at

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Petition; reasons for Agency

SUMMARY: This document provides the 

reasons for EPA’s response to a petition

National Center for Healthy Housing, 

the International Union of Painters & 

Allied Trades, the Lead and 

Environmental Hazards Association, 

and the National Association of Lead 

and Healthy Homes Grantees 

(petitioners) on October 31, 2013. The 

petitioners requested EPA to promulgate 

a rule pursuant to TSCA section 8(d) 

requiring property managers, building 

owners, and contractors disturbing leadbased paint in public and commercial 

buildings (P&CBs) to submit to EPA 

certain records related to the 

Occupational Safety and Health 

Administration’s (OSHA’s) construction 

standard for lead. After careful 

consideration, EPA denied the TSCA 

section 21 petition by letter on January 

28, 2014, for the reasons discussed in 

this document. 

DATES: The EPA’s response to this TSCA 

section 21 petition was signed on 

January 28, 2014.
