    EPA may identify additional actions for reopening or extending 
comment periods in subsequent notices.
    This document extends the public comment period for the notice 
``1,3-Butadiene; Draft Risk Evaluation Under the Toxic Substances 
Control Act (TSCA); Science Advisory Committee on Chemicals (SACC) Peer 
Review; Notice of SACC Meeting, Availability of Draft Documents and 
Request for Comment'' established in the Federal Register document of 
December 3, 2024 (89 FR 957790) (FRL-12241-02-OCSPP), for 30 days. In 
that document, EPA announced the availability of and solicited public 
comment on the draft risk evaluation for 1,3-butadiene. The draft risk 
evaluation was prepared under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) 
and will be submitted to the Science Advisory Committee on Chemicals 
(SACC) for peer review. EPA also announced that there will be two 
virtual public meetings of the SACC: On February 4, 2025, a preparatory 
meeting for the SACC to consider the scope and clarity of the draft 
charge questions for the peer review; and on February 25 through 28, 
2025, the peer review meeting for the SACC to consider the draft 
documents and public comments. Both public meetings will be 
rescheduled.
    This document extends the public comment period for the notice 
``Atrazine; Updated Proposed Mitigation for the Interim Registration 
Review Decision; Notice of Availability and Request for Comment'' 
established in the Federal Register document of December 5, 2024 (89 FR 
96650) (FRL-9941-02-OCSPP), for 60 days. In that document, EPA 
announced the availability of and requested comment on EPA's proposed 
updates to the mitigation in the interim registration review decision 
for atrazine (Case Number 0062). The updated mitigation proposal for 
atrazine reflected in the memorandum released for comment incorporated 
the revised level of concern of 9.7 micrograms per liter ([micro]g/L) 
as well as corrections to exposure modeling and feedback received 
during the 2022 public comment period. EPA released its updated 
mitigation proposal to reduce run-off/erosion, which will expand the 
number of options of mitigation measures growers can choose to 
implement to reduce potential exposure and risk to aquatic plant 
communities from atrazine runoff in vulnerable watersheds. The proposal 
includes placing mitigations on the product labeling, directing users 
to EPA's mitigation menu website and to the Bulletins Live! Two system. 
The Agency is not soliciting comment on any other aspects of the 
atrazine interim registration review decision.
    This document extends the public comment period for the notice 
``National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) 2026 Issuance 
of the Multi-Sector General Permit for Stormwater Discharges Associated 
With Industrial Activity'' established in the Federal Register document 
of December 12, 2024 (89 FR 101000) (FRL 11244-01-OW), for 60 days. In 
that document, all 10 EPA Regions proposed for public comment the 2026 
National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) general permit 
for stormwater discharges associated with industrial activity, also 
referred to as the ``2026 Multi-Sector General Permit (MSGP)'' or the 
``proposed permit.'' The proposed permit once finalized will replace 
the EPA's existing MSGP that expires on February 28, 2026. The EPA 
proposed to issue this permit for five (5) years. Once finalized, this 
permit will be available in areas where the EPA is the NPDES

permitting authority. The EPA solicits comment on all aspects of the 
proposed general permit and seeks public comment on specific requests 
for information as described in the document. The public is encouraged 
to read the proposed permit fact sheet to better understand the 
proposed permit requirements.
    EPA is extending these comment periods to allow interested parties 
additional time to thoroughly review and analyze how these notices may 
impact parties potentially subject to them. Comments previously 
submitted need not be resubmitted as they are already incorporated into 
the public record and will be considered in the final action as 
appropriate. Where appropriate, the Agency may consider further 
extending the comment period for the above referenced actions. To 
submit comments, or access the docket, please follow the detailed 
instructions provided under ADDRESSES. If you have questions, consult 
the technical person listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT.

Acting Administrator.
