National Emission Standards for 

Hazardous Air Pollutants From the 

Portland Cement Manufacturing 

Industry 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice of public hearings and 

extension of public comment period. 

SUMMARY: On May 6, 2009, EPA 

proposed amendments to the National 

Emission Standards for Hazardous Air 

Pollutants from the Portland Cement 

Manufacturing Industry (74 FR 21136). 

EPA has received a request from a major 

environmental group to schedule 

additional public hearings and to 

schedule those hearings later than the 

original public hearing date. Given the 

significant public interest in this rule 

and to further public participation 

opportunities, EPA is granting the 

request and has scheduled three public 

hearings. These hearings will occur in 

Los Angeles, California on June 16, 

2009, Dallas, Texas on June 17, 2009, 

and Arlington, Virginia on June 18, 

2009. More information on the locations 

is shown in SUPPLEMENTARY

INFORMATION. 

In addition, EPA is extending the 

deadline for written comments on the 

proposed amendments to September 4, 

2009. EPA received a request for this 

extension to the comment period from 

the Portland Cement Association and 

several cement manufacturing 

companies. The reason given for the 

request for the extension was the need 

for additional time to gather data and 

review the proposed amendments. 

Given the fact that the proposed 

amendments would make significant 

changes to the current rule, and the 

request by the cement industry to gather 

additional data, EPA finds this request 

to be reasonable. 

DATES: Comments. Comments must be 

received on or before September 4, 

2009. 

Public Hearings. These hearings will 

occur in Los Angeles, California on June 

16, 2009, Dallas, Texas on June 17, 

2009, and Arlington, Virginia on June 

18, 2009. Persons who wish to present 

oral testimony at the public hearings 

must register two business days prior to 

the hearings. The last day to register 

will be June 12, 2009 for the Los 

Angeles hearing, June 15, 2009, for the 

Dallas hearing, and June 16, 2009, for 

the Arlington hearing. The registration 

cut-off time is 5 p.m. EDT on the final 

day of registration. See SUPPLEMENTARY

INFORMATION for information on how to 

register. Note that the preregistration 

requirement only applies if you wish to 

present testimony.

personal information provided, unless 

the comment includes information 

claimed to be Confidential Business

Do not submit information that you 

consider to be CBI or otherwise 

protected through www.regulations.gov 

or e-mail. The www.regulations.gov Web 

site is an ‘‘anonymous access’’ system, 

which means EPA will not know your

you provide it in the body of your 

comment. If you send an e-mail 

comment directly to EPA without going 

through www.regulations.gov, your email address will be automatically 

captured and included as part of the 

comment that is placed in the public 

docket and made available on the 

Internet. If you submit an electronic 

comment, EPA recommends that you 

include your name and other contact 

information in the body of your 

comment and with any disk or CD–ROM 

you submit. If EPA cannot read your 

comment due to technical difficulties 

and cannot contact you for clarification, 

EPA may not be able to consider your 

comment. Electronic files should avoid 

the use of special characters, any form 

of encryption, and be free of any defects 

or viruses. 

Docket: All documents in the docket 

are listed in the www.regulations.gov 

index. Although listed in the index, 

some information is not publicly 

available, e.g., CBI or other information 

whose disclosure is restricted by statute. 

Certain other material, such as 

copyrighted material, will be publicly 

available only in hard copy. Publicly 

available docket materials are available 

either electronically in 

www.regulations.gov or in hard copy at

AGENCY: Fish and Wildlife Service, 

Interior. 

ACTION: Notice of 90-day petition 

finding. 

SUMMARY: We, the U.S. Fish and

Species Act of 1973, as amended (Act). 

We find that the petition does not 

present substantial scientific or 

commercial information indicating that 

listing O. acutissima may be warranted. 

Therefore, we will not initiate a further 

status review in response to this 

petition. We ask the public to submit to 

us any new information that becomes 

available concerning the status of O. 

acutissima or threats to its habitat at any 

time. This information will help us 

monitor and encourage the conservation 

of the species. 

DATES: The finding announced in this 

document was made on June 9, 2009. 

You may submit new information 

concerning this species for our 

consideration at any time. 

ADDRESSES: This finding is available on 

the Internet at http:// 

www.regulations.gov. Supporting 

documentation we used in preparing 

this finding is available for public 

inspection, by appointment, during 

normal business hours at the U.S. Fish
