SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On December 13, 2007, EPA proposed to 
disapprove the State Plan submitted by Nevada on November 15, 2006. The 
State Plan is intended to address the requirements of EPA's Clean Air 
Mercury Rule, promulgated on May 18, 2005, and subsequently revised on 
June 9, 2006. EPA proposed to determine that the submitted Nevada State 
Plan does not meet certain Clean Air Mercury Rule requirements.
    The proposed action provided a 45-day public comment period. In 
response to a request from Leo M. Drozdoff, Administrator of the Nevada 
Division of Environmental Protection, submitted by letter on January 3, 
2008, EPA is extending the comment period for an additional 45 days.

    Dated: January 9, 2008.

Regional Administrator, Region IX.
