55622 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 174 / Thursday, September 8, 2011 / Proposed Rules 

Register, we are approving this local 

rule in a direct final action without 

prior proposal because we believe this 

SIP revision is not controversial. If we 

receive adverse comments, however, we 

will publish a timely withdrawal of the 

direct final rule and address the 

comments in subsequent action based 

on this proposed rule. Please note that 

if we receive adverse comment on an 

amendment, paragraph, or section of 

this rule and if that provision may be 

severed from the remainder of the rule, 

we may adopt as final those provisions 

of the rule that are not the subject of an 

adverse comment. 

We do not plan to open a second 

comment period, so anyone interested 

in commenting should do so at this 

time. If we do not receive adverse 

comments, no further activity is 

planned. For further information, please 

see the direct final action.

This document extends the public

EPA proposed a SNUR for 14 glymes, 

designated proposed significant new 

uses for the 14 glymes, and asked for 

public comment on several topics. EPA 

requested comment on whether any of 

the chemical substances included in the 

identified glyme category are 

sufficiently dissimilar from the rest such 

that they should be removed from the 

category, or whether any additional 

chemical substances are sufficiently 

similar such that they should be added 

to the category. Comments were also 

requested on whether any of the 

additional unconfirmed uses listed in 

the proposed rule are actual ongoing 

uses in a consumer product, and 

whether there are any other ongoing 

uses in a consumer product of the other 

chemicals listed in the SNUR. EPA is 

hereby extending the comment period, 

which was set to end on September 12, 

2011, to October 12, 2011.

docket, please follow the detailed 

instructions as provided under
