Public hearing: The proposal for 

which the EPA is holding the public 

hearing was published in the Federal 

Register on November 25, 2011, and is 

available at: http://www.epa.gov/ttn/ 

atw/rrisk/rtrpg.html and also in the 

docket identified below. The public 

hearing will provide interested parties 

the opportunity to present oral 

comments regarding the EPA’s proposed 

standards, including data, views or 

arguments concerning the proposal. The 

EPA may ask clarifying questions during 

the oral presentations, but will not 

respond to the presentations at that 

time. Written statements and supporting 

information submitted during the 

comment period will be considered 

with the same weight as any oral 

comments and supporting information 

presented at the public hearing. 

Commenters should notify Ms. Garrett 

if they will need specific equipment or 

if there are other special needs related 

to providing comments at the public 

hearing. The EPA will provide 

equipment for commenters to make 

computerized slide presentations if we 

receive special requests in advance. Oral 

testimony will be limited to 5 minutes 

for each commenter. The EPA 

encourages commenters to bring a copy 

of their oral testimony along with any 

other information supporting their 

statements in electronic (via email or 

CD) or in hard copy form. A recorder 

will be present during the public 

hearing to record oral statements. All 

information submitted to the EPA 

during the public hearing and a 

transcribed copy of the oral statements 

will be entered into the docket. 

The public hearing schedule, 

including lists of speakers, will be 

posted on the EPA’s Web site at http:// 

www.epa.gov/ttn/atw/rrisk/rtrpg.html. 

Verbatim transcripts of the hearing and 

written statements will be included in 

the docket for the rulemaking. The EPA 

will make every effort to follow the 

schedule as closely as possible on the 

day of the hearing; however, please plan 

for the hearing to run either ahead of 

schedule or behind schedule.
