**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :** 
Extension of the Comment Period

On October 19, 2010, OSHA published a notice of proposed interpretation entitled Interpretation of OSHA’s Provisions for Feasible Administrative or Engineering Controls of Occupational Noise. The notice proposed to clarify that the term feasible administrative or engineering controls as used in the applicable sections of OSHA’s General Industry and Construction Occupational Noise Exposure standards has its ordinary meaning of capable of being done. The Agency announced its intention to revise and clarify its current enforcement policy to reflect this interpretation, and solicited comments from interested parties within 60 days, ending on December 20, 2010.

OSHA’s current enforcement policy for exposures less than 100 dBA has not reflected the noise standard’s requirement that feasible engineering and administrative controls be used as the primary means of reducing noise exposure. Instead, the Agency has allowed many employers to rely upon a hearing conservation program, including the use of hearing protectors.

Excessive noise levels continue to be a cause of hearing loss in the nation’s workplaces. Since 2004, the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) has reported that over 125,000 workers have suffered significant, permanent hearing loss. In 2008 alone, BLS reported 22,000 hearing loss cases.

Two commenters, the National Association of Manufacturers and the Coalition for Workplace Safety (CWS), representing employers who would be affected by the proposed interpretation, have requested an extension of 90 days to assess the operating changes that their members would be required to make to comply with the interpretation. In addition, CWS cites the proximity of the current deadline to the winter holidays as an additional reason for the extension.

OSHA believes that these requests are reasonable. OSHA is interested in hearing from and carefully considering the views of affected persons before making a final decision on the proposed interpretation. Accordingly, to facilitate the submission of more thorough comments and help the agency assess the issues, OSHA is extending the comment period by 90 days from December 20, 2010 to March 21, 2011.

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

**ACTION :**  Proposed rule.


### 77799 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 239 / Tuesday, December 14, 2010 / Proposed Rules

**SUMMARY :**  EPA proposes to approve the State Implementation Plan (SIP) revision submitted by the State of Delaware. This SIP revision includes an amendment to Delaware’s regulation for Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) from Consumer and Commercial Products, Section 3.0, Portable Fuel Containers. In the Final Rules section of this Federal Register, EPA is approving the State’s SIP submittal as a direct final rule without prior proposal because the Agency views this as a noncontroversial submittal and anticipates no adverse comments. A detailed rationale for the approval is set forth in the direct final rule. If no adverse comments are received in response to this action, no further activity is contemplated. If EPA receives adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received will be addressed in a subsequent final rule based on this proposed rule. EPA will not institute a second comment period. Any parties interested in commenting on this action should do so at this time.

**DATES :**  Comments must be received in writing by January 13, 2011.

**National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Chemical**  **Manufacturing Area Sources**

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

**ACTION :**  Proposed rule.

**SUMMARY :**  On June 15, 2010, EPA notified Petitioners that the Agency intended to initiate the reconsideration process in response to their request for reconsideration of certain provisions in the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Chemical Manufacturing Area Sources. Among the provisions that EPA is reconsidering is a requirement that certain affected sources obtain a permit. In a separate rule published today, EPA is taking final action to stay for 90 days, the requirement for certain affected sources to comply with the title V permit program. Because we believe the reconsideration process may not be completed within 90 days, we are proposing to stay the provision requiring certain sources to obtain a permit until the final reconsideration rule is published in the Federal Register. EPA is requesting public comment on this proposed stay.

**DATES :**  Comments. Comments must be received on or before January 28, 2011.

Public Hearing. If anyone contacts EPA requesting to speak at a public hearing by December 27, 2010, a public hearing will be held on December 29, 2010. For further information on the public hearing and requests to speak, see the **ADDRESSES** section of this preamble.
