SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: EPA has 

received requests from several groups to 

extend the comment period for the 

‘‘Toxics Release Inventory Burden 

Reduction Proposed Rule.’’ (70 FR 

57822, October 4, 2005) These groups 

include Environmental Defense, the 

National Environmental Trust, the U.S. 

Public Interest Research Group, and the 

Working Group on Community Right-toKnow. These groups have requested 

additional time to conduct analysis of 

TRI data and prepare comments on the 

proposed rule. EPA has considered 

these comments and determined that 

extending the comment period is an 

appropriate action that will not cause a 

significant delay in evaluating 

comments on the proposed rule and 

promulgating the final rule. Therefore, 

EPA is extending the comment period 

on the October 4, 2005, proposed rule 

from December 5, 2005, until January 

13, 2006. All comments must be 

submitted by January 13, 2006, 

following the detailed instructions 

provided in the proposed rule.
