AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency. 

ACTION: Proposed rule; reopening of the 

comment period. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) is reopening the comment 

period for a proposed Clean Air Act rule 

published June 26, 2014. EPA solicited 

comment on whether events subsequent 

to a prior comment period should alter 

EPA’s proposed disapproval of a June 4, 

2003, Ohio submission with respect to 

SIP opacity limitations. In response to 

requests from the Ohio Environmental 

Protection Agency (Ohio EPA) and from 

the Ohio Utility Group, EPA is 

reopening the comment period for 30 

days. 

DATES: Comments must be received on 

or before September 8, 2014. 

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, 

identified by Docket ID No. EPA–R05–

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

comment directly to 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, 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 EPA 

cannot read your comment due to 

technical difficulties and cannot contact 

you for clarification, 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. 

Docket: All documents in the docket 

are listed in the www.regulations.gov 

index. Although listed in the index, 

some information is not publicly 

available, e.g., CBI or other information 

whose disclosure is restricted by statute. 

Certain other material, such as 

copyrighted material, will be publicly 

available only in hard copy. Publicly 

available docket materials are available

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Throughout this document whenever 

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

the EPA. 

On June 27, 2005, EPA proposed to 

disapprove provisions relating to 

opacity limitations contained in an Ohio 

submittal dated June 4, 2003. EPA is 

evaluating the public comments 

received in response to the proposed 

disapproval. Given the passage of time, 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS

46384 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 153 / Friday, August 8, 2014 / Proposed Rules 

on June 26, 2014 (79 FR 36277), EPA 

solicited supplemental comment 

specifically with respect to whether 

events subsequent to the prior comment 

period should alter EPA’s proposed 

disapproval of Ohio’s submission dated 

June 4, 2003, with respect to SIP opacity 

limitations. EPA did not solicit 

comments on Ohio’s submission or 

EPA’s proposed action of June 27, 2005, 

on that submission, except to the extent 

that events subsequent to the original 

comment period are relevant to EPA’s 

evaluation of the submission and EPA’s 

proposed action. This was not a 

reopening of the original comment 

period, but the opening of a 

supplemental comment period. In the 

supplemental proposal, we requested 

comment by July 28, 2014. We received 

a request from the Ohio EPA, on July 7, 

2014, to extend the comment period an 

additional 90 days. We also received a 

similar request from the Ohio Utility 

Group on July 17, 2014. EPA has 

considered these requests and has 

decided to reopen the comment period 

for an additional 30 days. EPA considers 

a comment period extended by more 

than 30 days (including time between 

July 28, 2014 and today) to be more than 

sufficient to research and analyze any 

events subsequent to the original 

comment period which might be 

relevant to this supplemental comment 

period. Neither Ohio EPA nor the Ohio 

Utility Group identified any particularly 

time-consuming issues relevant to the 

supplemental comment period, nor is 

EPA aware of any. The comment period 

now closes on September 8, 2014. 

Dated: July 29, 2014.

Regional Administrator, Region 5.
