Granting Petitions To Add n-Propyl Bromide to the List of 
Hazardous Air Pollutants

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.

ACTION: Notice, extension of comment period.

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

SUMMARY: On January 9, 2017, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) 
published a draft notice of the rationale for granting petitions to add 
n-propyl bromide (nPB), also known as 1-bromopropane (1-BP) (Chemical 
Abstract Service No. 106-94-5), to the list of hazardous air pollutants 
contained in section 112(b)(1) of the Clean Air Act. In this notice, 
the EPA is extending the comment period on the draft notice until 
October 1, 2017. The EPA received a timely request to extend the 
comment period from March 10, 2017, to October 1, 2017, in order to 
allow for the review of data and information that would otherwise 
become available after the close of the comment period. On March 6, 
2017, as an initial response, the EPA made an interim extension of the 
comment period by 90 days until June 8, 2017. The EPA is now granting 
the request in full and extending the comment period until October 1, 
2017.

DATES: The public comment period for the draft notice published in the 
Federal Register on January 9, 2017 (82 FR 2354), is being extended. 
Written comments must be received on or before October 1, 2017.

ADDRESSES: Comments. Submit your comments, identified by Docket ID No. 
EPA-HQ-OAR-2014-0471, at http://www.regulations.gov. Follow the online 
instructions for submitting comments. Once submitted, comments cannot 
be edited or removed from Regulations.gov. The EPA may publish any 
comment received to its public docket. Do not submit electronically any 
information you consider to be Confidential Business Information (CBI) 
or other information whose disclosure is restricted by statute. 
Multimedia submissions (audio, video, etc.) must be accompanied by a 
written comment. The written comment is considered the official comment 
and should include discussion of all points you wish to make. The EPA 
will generally not consider comments or comment contents located 
outside of the primary submission (i.e., on the Web, cloud, or other 
file sharing system). For additional submission methods, the full EPA 
public comment policy, information about CBI or multimedia submissions, 
and general guidance on making effective comments, please visit http://www2.epa.gov/dockets/commenting-epa-dockets.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The EPA is granting the request for 
extension of time to provide the public additional opportunity to 
review and consider the Toxics Release Inventory (TRI) data for nPB, 
which becomes available in late July 2017, when preparing comments on 
this draft notice. The EPA has decided to extend the public comment 
period until October 1, 2017.
