SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Public 

hearings: The public hearings are to 

provide the public with an opportunity 

to present oral comments regarding 

proposed Regional Haze State and 

Federal Implementation Plans for the 

determination of Best Available Retrofit 

Technology at the Reid Gardner 

Generating Station in the State of 

Nevada. The proposed rule requires the 

Reid Gardner Generating Station to meet 

an emissions limit for oxides of nitrogen 

at Units 1, 2 and 3 of 0.20 lbs/MMBtu 

on a 30-day rolling average. 

Details about the two hearings are as 

follows: 

1. In a previous Federal Register 

notice published on April 18, 2012, EPA 

announced a public hearing in Ron 

Dalley Theater at the Moapa Valley 

Empowerment High School on 2400 St. 

Joseph Street in Overton, Nevada from 

6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. on May 3, 2012, 

with an open house at the same location 

from 5 to 6 p.m. This hearing will 

proceed as scheduled. We are holding 

two public hearings on the same day at 

different times and locations for the 

convenience of the public. 

2. EPA will hold a second public 

hearing at the Big Auditorium in the 

Moapa Band of Paiutes Administration 

Building on 1 Lincoln Street (cross 

street is Reservation Road) in Moapa, 

Nevada. The formal hearing will begin 

at 1 p.m. and end at 4 p.m. An 

informational open house at the same 

location will precede the public hearing 

from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. We will 

not record public comments at the open 

house. 

The proposed rule (77 FR 21896, Apr. 

12, 2012) for which EPA will hold the 

public hearings is available at http:// 

www.epa.gov/region9/air/actions/nv.

html#reid and also in the docket 

identified below. The public hearings 

will provide interested parties the 

opportunity to present data, views, or 

arguments concerning the proposal. 

EPA may ask clarifying questions during 

the oral presentations, but will not 

respond to the presentations at that 

time. We will consider written 

statements and supporting information 

submitted during the comment period 

with the same weight as any oral 

comments and supporting information 

presented at the public hearings. At the 

public hearings, the hearing officer may 

limit the time available for each 

commenter to address the proposal to 

five minutes or less if the hearing officer 

determines it is appropriate. We will not 

provide equipment for commenters to 

show overhead slides or make 

computerized slide presentations. Any 

person may provide written or oral 

comments and data pertaining to our 

proposal at the public hearings. We will 

include verbatim transcripts, in English, 

of the hearing and written statements in 

the rulemaking docket. 

Extension of comment period: EPA is 

extending the public comment period 

for the proposed rule to align with the 

dates of the public hearings. The 

comment period will now end on June 

4, 2012, 30 days after the public 

hearings. 

EPA has established a docket for the 

proposed rule under Docket ID No. 

EPA–R09–OAR–2011–0130 (available at 

http://www.regulations.gov).
