SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Throughout this document wherever ``we,'' 
``us,'' or ``our'' is used, we mean the EPA. On December 16, 2014, we 
published in the Federal Register a proposed rule pertaining to 
regional haze and interstate transport of pollution affecting 
visibility (79 FR 74818). Specifically, we proposed to (1) partially 
approve and partially disapprove revisions to the Texas SIP pertaining 
to regional haze and disapprove revisions regarding visibility 
protection, (2) disapprove a revision to the Oklahoma SIP pertaining to 
regional haze, and (3) establish a FIP to remedy these deficiencies. 
The proposed FIP would implement SO2 emission limits on 
fifteen Texas air pollution sources. In the proposal we requested 
comments by February 17, 2015.
    We received several requests for an extension of the comment period 
and, in response, have decided to allow an additional 60 days. We are 
extending the comment period to April 20, 2015.
