**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.

Dated: September 10, 2012. Gina McCarthy, Assistant Administrator, Office of Air and Radiation.
