SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

proposal addresses the following local 

rules: SCAQMD Rule 1155, Particulate 

Matter (PM) Control Devices and 

SMAQMD Rule 421 Mandatory Episodic 

Curtailment of Wood and Other Solid 

Fuel Burning (except section 402). In 

the Rules and Regulations section of this 

Federal Register, we are approving 

these local rules in a direct final action 

without prior proposal because we 

believe these SIP revisions are not 

controversial. If we receive adverse 

comments, however, we will publish a 

timely withdrawal of the direct final 

rule and address the comments in 

subsequent action based on this 

proposed rule. Please note that if we 

receive adverse comment on an 

amendment, paragraph, or section of 

these rules and if that provision may be 

severed from the remainder of the rules, 

we may adopt as final those provisions 

of the rules that are not the subject of 

an adverse comment. 

We do not plan to open a second 

comment period, so anyone interested 

in commenting should do so at this 

time. If we do not receive adverse 

comments, no further activity is 

planned. For further information, please 

see the direct final action.

Long-Chain Perfluoroalkyl Carboxylate 

and Perfluoroalkyl Sulfonate Chemical 

Substances; Significant New Use Rule; 

Extension of Comment Period 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Proposed rule; extension of 

comment period. 

SUMMARY: EPA issued a proposed rule in 

the Federal Register January 21, 2015, 

concerning long-chain perfluoroalkyl 

carboxylate (LCPFAC) chemical 

substances and perfluoroalkyl sulfonate 

(PFAS) chemical substances. This 

document extends the comment period 

for 90 days, from March 23, 2015, to 

June 26, 2015. The comment period is 

being extended because EPA received 

several comments asserting that there 

may be significant implications for the 

supply chain and it is critical that 

interested stakeholders have sufficient 

time to respond to the proposed 

rulemaking. 

DATES: The comment period for the 

proposed rule published on January 21, 

2015 (80 FR 2885) is extended. 

Comments, identified by docket 

identification (ID) number EPA–HQ– 

OPPT–2013–0225, must be received on 

or before June 26, 2015. 

ADDRESSES: Follow the detailed 

instructions provided under ADDRESSES

in the Federal Register document of 

January 21, 2015 (80 FR 2885) (FRL– 

9915–63).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

document extends the public comment 

period established in the Federal 

Register proposed rule of January 21, 

2015. This proposed rule for LCPFAC 

chemical substances is proposing to 

designate as a significant new use 

manufacturing (including importing) or 

processing of an identified subset of 

LCPFAC chemical substances for any 

use that will not be ongoing after 

December 31, 2015, and all other 

LCPFAC chemicals substances for 

which there are currently no ongoing 

uses. For this SNUR, EPA is also 

proposing to make inapplicable the 

exemption for persons who import 

LCPFAC chemical substances as part of 

articles. In addition, EPA is also 

proposing to amend a SNUR for PFAS 

chemical substances that would make 

inapplicable the exemption for persons 

who import PFAS chemical substances 

as part of carpets. EPA is hereby 

extending the comment period, which 

was set to end on March 23, 2015, to 

June 26, 2015. 

To submit comments, or access the 

docket, please follow the detailed 

instructions provided under ADDRESSES
