National Uniform Emission Standards 

for Storage Vessel and Transfer 

Operations, Equipment Leaks, and 

Closed Vent Systems and Control 

Devices; and Revisions to the National 

Uniform Emission Standards General 

Provisions 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Extension of public comment 

period. 

SUMMARY: On March 26, 2012, the EPA 

proposed the National Uniform 

Emission Standards for Storage Vessels 

and Transfer Operations, Equipment 

Leaks, and Closed Vent Systems and 

Control Devices, herein referred to as 

Uniform Standards. The EPA is 

extending the deadline for written 

comments on the proposed amendments 

by 90 days to September 24, 2012. The 

EPA received requests for this extension 

from the American Petroleum Institute 

(API) and the American Chemistry 

Council (ACC). API and ACC each 

requested an extension in order to fully 

evaluate the potential impact of the 

Uniform Standards on subparts 

applicable to the refining and chemical 

industries, respectively. The EPA finds 

these requests to be reasonable due to 

the multiple source categories 

potentially affected by this action. 

DATES: Comments must be received on 

or before September 24, 2012. 

ADDRESSES: Technical comments 

pertinent to the Uniform Standards 

should be identified as follows:

Vessels and Transfer Operations should

HQ–OAR–2010–0870; or EPA–HQ–

EPA’s policy is that all comments 

received will be included in the public 

docket without change and may be 

made available online at 

www.regulations.gov, including any 

personal information provided, unless 

the comment includes information 

claimed to be confidential business 

information (CBI) or other information 

whose disclosure is restricted by statute. 

Do not submit information that you 

consider to be CBI or otherwise 

protected through www.regulations.gov 

or email. The www.regulations.gov Web 

site is an ‘‘anonymous access’’ system, 

which means the EPA will not know 

your identity or contact information 

unless you provide it in the body of 

your comment. If you send an email 

comment directly to the EPA without 

going through www.regulations.gov, 

your email address will be 

automatically captured and included as 

part of the comment that is placed in the 

public docket and made available on the 

Internet. If you submit an electronic 

comment, the EPA recommends that 

you include your name and other 

contact information in the body of your 

comment and with any disk or CD–ROM 

you submit. If the EPA cannot read your 

comment due to technical difficulties 

and cannot contact you for clarification, 

the EPA may not be able to consider 

your comment. Electronic files should 

avoid the use of special characters, any 

form of encryption, and be free of any 

defects or viruses. For additional 

information about the EPA’s public 

docket, visit the EPA Docket Center
