personal information provided, unless

Do not submit information that you 

consider to be CBI or otherwise

docket and made available on the 

Internet. If you submit an electronic 

comment, EPA recommends that you 

include your name and other contact 

information in the body of your 

comment and with any disk or CD–ROM 

you submit. If EPA cannot read your 

comment due to technical difficulties 

and cannot contact you for clarification, 

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 additional information

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background: In a Federal Register 

Notice dated August 30, 2012 (77 FR 

52715), EPA provided notice of its 

receipt of requests for a waiver of 

required volumes of renewable fuel 

under the Renewable Fuel Standard 

(‘‘RFS’’) program, and invited public 

comment on those requests. As more 

fully described in the August 30, 2012 

Notice, Governors of several States have 

submitted separate requests for an RFS 

waiver. Section 211(o)(7)(A) of the 

Clean Air Act allows the Administrator 

of the EPA to waive the national volume 

requirements of the renewable fuel 

standard program in whole or in part if 

implementation of those requirements 

would severely harm the economy or 

environment of a State, a region, or the 

United States, or if the Administrator 

determines that there is inadequate 

domestic supply of renewable fuel. 

Extension of Comment Period: EPA 

received requests for an extension of the 

comment period from various parties. 

After considering these comments, EPA 

has determined that an extension of the 

comment period would appropriately 

provide the public additional time to 

provide meaningful comment on the 

Renewable Fuel Standard waiver 

requests. Any such extension, however, 

must be balanced against the need to 

make a timely decision with respect to 

the waiver requests. EPA believes that 

an additional 15 days is an appropriate 

amount of time to balance these needs. 

Accordingly, the public comment 

period on the RFS waiver requests is 

extended to October 11, 2012. EPA does 

not currently anticipate that it will 

provide any further extension of the 

comment period.
