Approval and Promulgation of Air 

Quality Implementation Plans; 

Tennessee; Regional Haze State 

Implementation Plan; Limited 

Reopening of the Comment Period 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Proposed rule; limited 

reopening of the comment period. 

SUMMARY: EPA is announcing a limited 

reopening of the public comment period 

for the proposed rule entitled ‘‘Approval 

and Promulgation of Air Quality 

Implementation Plans; State of 

Tennessee; Regional Haze State 

Implementation Plan.’’ The proposed 

rule was initially published in the 

Federal Register on June 9, 2011. 

Written comments on the proposed rule 

were to be submitted to EPA on or 

before July 11, 2011 (30-day comment 

period). On June 29, 2011, and July 1, 

2011, two Commenters requested that 

EPA extend the comment period for the 

June 9, 2011, Tennessee Regional Haze 

proposed rulemaking for 30 to 60 days 

in order to review the Cross-State Air 

Pollution Rule (CSAPR), which replaced 

the Clean Air Interstate Rule on July 6, 

2011. The Commenters requested the 

extension in order to determine any 

potential impacts of the CSAPR on the 

June 9, 2011, proposed rule. EPA is now 

reopening the public comment period 

for 15 days from the date of publication 

of today’s action for the limited purpose 

of public review and comment on the 

potential impacts of the final CSAPR on 

EPA’s proposed rulemaking to approve 

Tennessee’s Regional Haze State 

Implementation Plan (SIP). 

DATES: The comment period for the 

proposed rule published on June 9, 2011 

(76 FR 33662), is reopened. Comments 

must be received on or before August 

10, 2011.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On May 

31, 2011, the EPA Region 4 Acting 

Regional Administrator signed a 

proposed rulemaking to approve, on a 

limited basis, the State of Tennessee’s 

Regional Haze State Implementation 

Plan. This action was published in the 

Federal Register on June 9, 2011, (76 FR 

33662) and provided a 30-day comment 

period. All written comments were due 

to EPA Region 4, as instructed in the 

proposed rule, on or before July 11, 

2011. During the comment period, EPA 

received comments from two separate 

Commenters requesting that EPA extend 

the comment period suggesting a range 

of 30–60 days. The purpose of the 

Commenters’ requests was to allow time 

to review the final CSAPR1 and assess 

the correlation between the CSAPR and 

the Regional Haze requirements and, 

specifically, any potential impacts on 

the Tennessee Regional Haze SIP

Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 143 / Tuesday, July 26, 2011 / Proposed Rules 44535 

rulemaking. EPA has considered these 

requests and has decided to reopen the 

comment period for an additional 15 

days from the date of publication of 

today’s rulemaking. 

This reopening is for the limited 

purpose of public review and comment 

on the potential impacts of the final 

CSAPR on EPA’s proposed rulemaking 

to approve Tennessee’s Regional Haze 

SIP. EPA does not anticipate any 

impacts from the CSAPR on the 

proposed rulemaking on the Tennessee 

Regional Haze SIP. As noted in the 

CSAPR, EPA has not conducted any 

technical analysis to determine whether 

compliance with the CSAPR would 

satisfy Regional Haze Best Available 

Retrofit Technology (BART)-related 

requirements for electric generating 

units (EGUs). For that reason, EPA has 

neither made any determinations nor 

established any presumptions that 

compliance with the CSAPR satisfies 

BART-related requirements for EGUs. 

EPA intends to undertake a separate 

analysis to determine if compliance 

with the CSAPR would provide 

sufficient reductions to satisfy BART 

requirements for EGUs in accordance 

with Regional Haze Rule requirements 

for alternative BART compliance 

options as soon as practicable following 

official promulgation of the CSAPR.

State Implementation Plan (SIP). These 

revisions concern volatile organic 

compound (VOC) emissions from 

gasoline dispensing facilities, polyester

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

proposal addresses the following local 

rules: NSAQMD Rule 215, SMAQMD 

Rule 465, and SCAQMD Rules 1132 and 

1162. 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 

this rule and if that provision may be 

severed from the remainder of the rule, 

we may adopt as final those provisions 

of the rule 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. 

Dated: February 15, 2011.

Testing of Bisphenol A 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Advance notice of proposed 

rulemaking (ANPRM). 

SUMMARY: Bisphenol A (BPA) (Chemical 

Abstracts Service Registry Number 

(CASRN) 80–05–7), a high production 

volume (HPV) chemical, is a 

reproductive, developmental, and 

systemic toxicant in animal studies and 

is weakly estrogenic. EPA is providing 

this ANPRM to request comment on 

requiring toxicity testing to determine 

the potential for BPA to cause adverse 

effects, including endocrine-related 

effects, in environmental organisms at 

low concentrations. EPA is also seeking 

comment on requiring environmental 

testing consisting of sampling and 

monitoring for BPA in surface water, 

ground water, drinking water, soil, 

sediment, sludge, and landfill leachate
