    On October 15, 2024, we published in the Federal Register ``Air 
Quality State Implementation Plans; Partial Approval, Partial 
Disapproval and Promulgation; Texas; Regional Haze'', where we proposed 
to partially approve and partially disapprove the regional haze State 
implementation plan (SIP) revision submitted by Texas on July 20, 2021, 
under the Clean Air Act (CAA) and EPA's Regional Haze Rule (RHR) for 
the program's second implementation period. In response to requests for 
additional time to develop and submit comments on the proposed 
rulemaking, we have decided to extend the public comment period. The 
original deadline to submit comments was November 14, 2024. The comment 
period will now close on December 3, 2024. This action will allow 
interested persons additional time to prepare and submit comments on 
the proposed action listed above.
