National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for 
Reciprocating Internal Combustion Engines

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of public meeting and extension of public comment

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: On December 7, 2010, EPA published a notice announcing 
reconsideration of the March 3, 2010, final national emission standards 
for hazardous air pollutants for reciprocating internal combustion 
engines and requesting public comment on one issue arising from the 
final rule. Specifically, EPA requested public comment on the decision 
to amend the limitations on operation of emergency stationary engines 
to allow emergency engines to operate for up to 15 hours per year as 
part of an emergency demand response program. In order to provide 
further opportunity for public participation, EPA has scheduled a 
public meeting in Research Triangle Park, North Carolina, for January 
13, 2011. More information on the location is shown in SUPPLEMENTARY 
INFORMATION. In addition, EPA is extending the deadline for the written 
comments on issue under reconsideration to February 14, 2011.

DATES: Comments. Comments must be received on or before February 14, 
2011.
    Public Meeting. A public meeting will be held on January 13, 2011, 
beginning at 10:30 a.m. EST. If you would like to attend the meeting,

provided, unless the comment includes information claimed to be 
Confidential Business Information (CBI) or other information whose 
disclosure is restricted by statute. Do not submit information that you 
consider to be CBI or otherwise protected through http://www.regulations.gov or e-mail. The http://www.regulations.gov Web site 
is an ``anonymous access'' system, which means EPA will not know your 
identity or contact information unless you provide it in the body of 
your comment. If you send an e-mail comment directly to EPA without 
going through http://www.regulations.gov, your e-mail 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.
    Public Meeting: A public meeting will be held on January 13, 2010, 
in room C111A at EPA's campus located at 109 T.W. Alexander Drive in 
Research Triangle Park, NC. The meeting will begin at 10:30 a.m. EST.

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 
http://www.regulations.gov or in hard copy at the Air and Radiation
