SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Congress to extend the public comment 

period for the May 3, 2011, Proposed 

Mercury and Air Toxics Standards Rule, 

the EPA is extending the public 

comment period for an additional 30 

days. Therefore, the public comment 

period will end on August 4, 2011, 

rather than July 5, 2011.

The EPA has established the official 

public dockets No. EPA–HQ–OAR–

National Emission Standards for 

Hazardous Air Pollutants: Secondary 

Lead Smelting; Extension of Comment 

Period 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Proposed rule; extension of 

public comment period. 

SUMMARY: On May 19, 2011, the EPA 

proposed amendments to the National 

Emissions Standards for Hazardous Air 

Pollutants for Secondary Lead Smelting 

(76 FR 29032). The EPA is extending the 

deadline for written comments on the 

proposed amendments by 21 days to 

July 26, 2011. The EPA received a 

request for an extension from the 

Association of Battery Recyclers (ABR). 

The ABR requested an extension in 

order to analyze data and review the 

proposed amendments. The EPA finds 

this request to be reasonable due to the 

significant changes the proposal would 

make to the current rule.

Phosphorus Water Quality Standards 

for Florida Everglades 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing a rule that 

would identify provisions of Florida’s 

Water Quality Standards for Phosphorus 

in the Everglades Protection Area 

(Phosphorus Rule) and Florida’s 

Amended Everglades Forever Act (EFA) 

that EPA has disapproved and that 

therefore are not applicable water 

quality standards for purposes of the 

Clean Water Act. EPA is proposing 

today’s rule following EPA’s 

disapproval of these provisions and 

EPA’s specific directions to the State of 

Florida to correct these deficiencies in 

the Phosphorus Rule and EFA. EPA’s 

disapproval, specific directions to the 

State, and today’s proposed rule 

implement two orders by the U.S. 

District Court for the Southern District 

of Florida. The intended effect of 

today’s proposed rule is to identify only 

those provisions of Florida law that EPA 

has disapproved and that therefore are 

not applicable water quality standards 

for purposes of the Clean Water Act. 

DATES: Comments must be received on 

or before August 1, 2011.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. General Information 

A. What entities may be affected by this 

rule? 

Citizens concerned with water quality 

in Florida may be interested in this 

rulemaking. Entities discharging 

phosphorus to waters upstream of the 

Everglades Protection Area could be 

indirectly affected by the Phosphorus 

Rule and EFA, although not specifically 

by this proposed rulemaking because 

the current action further addresses 

prior disapproval by EPA of certain 

provisions of the Phosphorus Rule and 

EFA. Any indirect affect to entities 

would be because the water quality 

standards contained in the State’s 

regulation and statute are used in 

determining National Pollutant 

Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) 

permit limits. With this in mind, 

categories and entities that may 

ultimately be indirectly affected 

include: 

Category Examples of potentially affected entities 

Water Management Districts ............................... Entities responsible for managing point source discharges near the Everglades Protection 

Area. 

Nonpoint Source Contributors ............................. Entities responsible for contributing nonpoint source runoff near the Everglades Protection 

Area.
