such accommodations without advance notice. Please note that any updates made to any aspect of the hearing will be posted online at http://www.epa.gov/ airquality/oilandgas/. While the EPA expects the hearings to go forward as set forth above, we ask that you monitor our

minutes for each commenter. The EPA encourages commenters to provide the EPA with a copy of their oral testimony electronically (via email) before the hearings and in hard copy form at the hearings.

The hearings will provide interested parties the opportunity to present data, views, or arguments concerning the proposed actions. The EPA will make every effort to accommodate all speakers who wish to register to speak at the hearing venues on the day of the hearings. The EPA may ask clarifying questions during the oral presentations, but will not respond to the presentations at that time. Written statements and supporting information submitted during the comment period will be considered with the same weight as oral comments and supporting information presented at the public hearings.

hearings to run on schedule; however, due to on-site schedule fluctuations, actual speaking times may shift slightly.

Because the Denver, CO, and Pittsburgh, PA, hearings are being held at United States government facilities, individuals planning to attend these hearings should be prepared to show valid picture identification to the security staff in order to gain access to the meeting room. Please note that the REAL ID Act, passed by Congress in 2005, established new requirements for entering federal facilities. If your driver’s license is issued by American Samoa, Louisiana, Minnesota, New Hampshire or New York, you must present an additional form of
identification to enter the federal building. Acceptable alternative forms
of identification include: Federal employee badges, passports, enhanced driver’s licenses, and military
identification cards. For additional information for the status of your state regarding REAL ID, go to http:// www.dhs.gov/real-id-enforcement-brief. In addition, you will need to obtain a property pass for any personal belongings you bring with you. Upon leaving the buildings, you will be required to return this property pass to the security desk. No large signs will be allowed in the buildings, cameras may only be used outside of the buildings,
and demonstrations will not be allowed on federal property for security reasons.

At all of the hearing locations, atttendees will be asked to go through metal detectors. To help facilitate this process, please be advised that you will
be asked to remove all items from all pockets and place them in provided bins for screening; remove laptops, phones, or other electronic devices from their carrying case and place in provided bins for screening; avoid shoes with metal shanks, toe guards, or supports as a part of their construction; remove any metal belts, metal belt buckles, large jewelry, watches; and follow the instructions of the guard if identified for secondary screening. Additionally, no weapons ( e.g., pocket knives) or drugs or drug paraphernalia ( e.g., marijuana) will be allowed in the buildings. We recommend that you arrive 20 minutes in advance of your speaking time in Denver, CO, Dallas, TX, and Pittsburgh, PA, to allow time to go through security and to check in with the registration desk.

**Determinations of Attainment by the Attainment Date, Extensions of the**  **Attainment Date, and Reclassification of Several Areas Classified as Marginal** 
**for the 2008 Ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standards** 

**AGENCY :**  Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

**ACTION :**  Proposed rule.

**SUMMARY :**  The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing three separate and independent
determinations related to the 36 areas that are currently classified as ‘‘Marginal’’ for the 2008 ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS). First, the EPA is proposing to
determine that 17 areas attained the 2008 ozone NAAQS by the applicable attainment date of July 20, 2015, based on complete, quality-assured and certified ozone monitoring data for 2012–2014. Second, the EPA is proposing to grant 1-year attainment date extensions for eight areas on the basis that the requirements for such
extensions under the Clean Air Act (CAA or Act) have been met. Third, the EPA is proposing to determine that 11
areas failed to attain the 2008 ozone NAAQS by the applicable attainment date of July 20, 2015, and that they are not eligible for an extension, and to reclassify these areas as ‘‘Moderate’’ for the 2008 ozone NAAQS. Once reclassified as Moderate, states must submit State Implementation Plan (SIP) revisions that meet the statutory and regulatory requirements that apply to 2008 ozone NAAQS nonattainment
areas classified as Moderate. In this action, the EPA is proposing and taking comment on two options for the deadline by which states would need to
submit to the EPA for review and approval the SIP revisions required for
Moderate areas once their areas are
reclassified.

**DATES :**  Comments. Comments must be received on or before September 28,

2015. Public Hearings. If anyone contacts us requesting a public hearing on or before September 11, 2015, we will hold a public hearing. Please refer
