your comment and cannot contact you

difficulties, the EPA may not be able to 

consider your comment. Electronic files 

should avoid the use of special 

characters, any form of encryption, and 

be free of any defects or viruses. For

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

On December 9, 2011, the EPA 

responded by letter to all states and 

tribes regarding their designation 

recommendations for the 2008 ozone 

standards and posted the responses on 

the EPA’s Internet Web site at http:// 

www.epa.gov/ozonedesignations. The 

EPA provided a public comment period 

on those responses which ended on 

February 3, 2012. On January 31, 2012, 

the EPA sent revised responses to 

Illinois, Indiana, and Wisconsin after 

considering quality-assured air quality 

monitoring data for 2011 submitted by 

Illinois on December 7, 2011. Because 

that air quality information was 

submitted shortly before the EPA issued 

its December 9, 2011, responses, the 

EPA did not have time to consider the 

information in those initial responses. 

The EPA has posted the revised 

responses to Illinois, Indiana, and 

Wisconsin on the EPA’s ozone 

designations Web site and is reopening 

the public comment period for the 

limited purpose of inviting public 

comments on the revised responses to 

Illinois, Indiana, and Wisconsin during 

the comment period specified in the 

DATES section. The EPA intends to make 

final designation determinations for the 

2008 ozone standards in spring 2012.

The EPA has established a docket for
