Advance Notice of Proposed 

Rulemaking on Lead Emissions From 

Piston-Engine Aircraft Using Leaded 

Aviation Gasoline; Extension of 

Comment Period 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Advance notice of proposed 

rulemaking; extension of comment 

period. 

SUMMARY: EPA is announcing a 60-day 

extension of the public comment period 

for the Advance Notice of Proposed 

Rulemaking on Lead Emissions From 

Piston-Engine Aircraft Using Leaded 

Aviation Gasoline (hereinafter referred 

to as the ANPR). EPA published this 

ANPR, which included a request for 

comment, in the Federal Register on 

April 28, 2010. The public comment 

period was to end on June 28, 2010 (60 

days after its publication in the Federal 

Register). This document extends the 

comment period an additional 60 days 

until August 27, 2010. This extension of 

the comment period is provided to 

allow the public additional time to 

provide comment on the ANPR. 

DATES: The comment period for the 

ANPR published April 28, 2010 (75 FR 

22440) is extended. Written comments 

must be received on or before August 

27, 2010.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background: In the ANPR, EPA 

described and invited comment from all 

interested parties on the data available 

for evaluating lead emissions, ambient 

concentrations and potential exposure 

to lead from the use of leaded aviation 

gasoline (avgas) in piston-engine 

powered aircraft. The ANPR is one of 

the steps EPA has taken in response to 

a petition submitted by Friends of the 

Earth (FOE) requesting that EPA find 

endangerment from and regulate lead 

emitted by piston-engine aircraft, or if 

insufficient information exists, to 

commence a study. In addition to 

describing and inviting comment on the 

current data, the ANPR also describes 

considerations regarding emission 

engine standards and requests comment 

on approaches for transitioning the 

piston-engine fleet to unleaded avgas. 

Extension of Comment Period: EPA 

received requests for an extension of the 

ANPR comment period that are 

available in the docket for this rule 

(EPA–HQ–OAR–2007–0294). After 

considering the requests, EPA has 

determined that a 60-day extension of 

the comment period would provide the 

public adequate time to provide 

meaningful comment on the ANPR. 

Accordingly, the public comment 

period for the ANPR is extended until 

August 27, 2010. EPA does not 

anticipate any further extension of the 

comment period at this time.

Endangered and Threatened Wildlife 

and Plants; Listing the Cumberland 

Darter, Rush Darter, Yellowcheek 

Darter, Chucky Madtom, and Laurel 

Dace as Endangered Throughout Their 

Ranges 

AGENCY: Fish and Wildlife Service, 

Interior. 

ACTION: Proposed rule; request for 

public comments. 

SUMMARY: We, the U.S. Fish and 

Wildlife Service (Service), propose to 

list the Cumberland darter (Etheostoma 

susanae), rush darter (Etheostoma 

phytophilum), yellowcheek darter 

(Etheostoma moorei), chucky madtom 

(Noturus crypticus), and laurel dace 

(Phoxinus saylori) as endangered under 

the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as 

amended (Act). If we finalize this rule 

as proposed, it would extend the Act’s 

protections to these species throughout 

their ranges, including, Cumberland 

darter in Kentucky and Tennessee, rush 

darter in Alabama, yellowcheek darter 

in Arkansas, and chucky madtom and 

laurel dace in Tennessee. We have 

determined that critical habitat for these 

species is prudent, but not determinable 

at this time. 

DATES: We will consider comments we 

receive on or before August 23, 2010. 

We must receive requests for public 

hearings, in writing, at the address 

shown in the ADDRESSES section by 

August 9, 2010.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Request for Public Comments 

We intend that any final action 

resulting from this proposed rule will be 

based on the best scientific and 

commercial data available and as 

accurate and effective as possible. 

Therefore, we request comments or 

information from the public, other 

concerned governmental agencies, the 

scientific community, industry, or any 

other interested party concerning this 

proposed rule. We particularly seek 

comments concerning: 

(1) Biological, commercial trade, or 

other relevant data concerning any 

threats (or lack thereof) to these species 

and regulations that may be addressing 

those threats; 

(2) Additional information concerning 

the ranges, distribution, and population 

size of these species, including the 

locations of any additional populations 

of the species; 

(3) Any additional information on the 

biological or ecological requirements of 

the species; 

(4) Current or planned activities in the 

areas occupied by the species and 

possible impacts of these activities on 

the species and their habitat; 

(5) Potential effects of climate change 

on the species and their habitats; 

(6) The reasons why areas should or 

should not be designated as critical 

habitat as provided by section 4 of the 

Act (16 U.S.C. 1531, et seq.), including 

whether the benefits of designation 

would outweigh threats to the species 

that designation could cause (e.g., 

exacerbation of existing threats, such as 

overcollection), such that the 

designation of critical habitat is 

prudent; and . 

(7) Specific information on: 

• What areas contain physical and 

biological features essential for the 

conservation of the species; 

• What areas are essential to the 

conservation of the species; and 

• Special management considerations or 

protection that proposed critical 

habitat may require. 

Please note that submissions merely 

stating support for or opposition to the 

action under consideration without 

providing supporting information, 

although noted, will not be considered 

in making a determination, as section 

4(b)(1)(A) of the Act directs that 

determinations as to whether any 

species is a threatened or endangered 

species mush be made ‘‘solely on the 

basis of the best scientific and 

commercial data available.’’ 

You may submit your comments and 

materials concerning this proposed rule 

by one of the methods listed in the 

ADDRESSES section. We will not accept 

comments sent by e-mail or fax or to an 

address not listed in the ADDRESSES

section. 

We will post your entire comment, 

including your personal identifying 

information, on http:// 

www.regulations.gov. If you provide 

personal identifying information in your 

hard copy comments, such as your 

street address, phone number, or e-mail 

address, you may request at the top of 

your document that we withhold this 

information from public review. 

However, we cannot guarantee that we 

will be able to do so. We will post all 

hardcopy submissions on http:// 

www.regulations.gov. Please include 

sufficient information with your 

comments to allow us to verify any 

scientific or commercial information 

you include.
