SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

NODA that is the subject of this notice, 

and which was published in the Federal 

Register on August 29, 2007 (72 FR 

49714), announces the availability of 

new information and data contained in 

three documents that the Agency is 

requesting public comments on, 

concerning the management of CCW in 

landfills and surface impoundments. 

The three documents that the Agency is 

requesting comments on are: A joint 

U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and 

EPA report entitled, Coal Combustion 

Waste Management at Landfills and 

Surface Impoundments, 1994–2004; a 

draft risk assessment conducted by EPA 

on the management of CCW in landfills 

and surface impoundments; and EPA’s 

damage case assessment. The Agency is 

soliciting comments on the extent to 

which the damage case information, the 

results of the risk assessment, and the 

new liner and ground water monitoring 

information from the DOE/EPA report 

should affect the Agency’s decisions. 

EPA is also requesting direct comment 

on the draft risk assessment document 

to help inform a planned peer review. 

In addition, the Agency has included in 

the docket to the NODA a rulemaking 

petition submitted by a number of 

citizens’ groups, as well as two 

approaches regarding the management 

of CCW, one prepared by the electric 

utility industry and the other prepared 

by a number of citizens’ groups. The 

Agency will consider all the information 

provided through the NODA, the 

comments and new information 

submitted on the NODA, as well as the 

results of a subsequent peer review of 

the risk assessment, as it continues to 

follow-up on its Regulatory 

Determination for CCW disposed of in 

landfills and surface impoundments. 

The comment period for the NODA 

was scheduled to close on November 27, 

2007. However, a number of 

environmental groups requested that 

EPA extend the comment period by 75 

days, noting that additional time was 

needed in order to comment 

meaningfully on the information 

contained in the NODA and to perform 

extensive analysis on several 

documents, some of which are highly 

technical. The commenters also noted 

that, due to the length and complexity 

of the draft risk assessment (Human and 

Ecological Risk Assessment of Coal 

Combustion Wastes), it would be 

necessary to engage expert review that 

will consequently increase the time 

necessary to prepare their comments. 

EPA believed that the 90-day public 

comment period originally established 

was reasonable. However, since the 

Agency will be considering all the 

information provided through the 

comments and new information 

submitted on the NODA, as well as the 

results of a subsequent peer review of 

the risk assessment, we believed it was 

important that commenters have 

adequate time to analyze the data 

noticed in the NODA so that they may 

provide informed and meaningful 

comments to the Agency. Therefore, we 

decided to extend the comment period 

by 60 days, thereby extending the 

comment period to 150 days. We 

believed an additional 60 days was 

adequate for commenters to analyze the 

data noticed in the NODA and available 

in the docket to the NODA. Because the 

60-day extension would have ended on 

January 26, 2008, which is a Saturday, 

the comment period was extended until 

the following Monday, January 28, 2008. 

The same group of commenters, noted 

above, requested a short amount of 

additional time to finish gathering 

information that is necessary to 

complete their comments. We believe 

this request is reasonable given the 

nature and volume of materials 

provided for comment; therefore, we are 

reopening the comment period from the 

date of publication of this notice to 

close on February 11, 2008.
