by the Governor of Wyoming on June 13, 2013, the Wyoming Congressional 
Delegation on June 14, 2013, and the Wyoming Department of 
Environmental Quality on June 14, 2013. The comment period for this

comment period to August 26, 2013 to allow for a full 30 days for the 
submission of additional comments following the public hearings.

July 17, 2013 at the Laramie County Library, Cottonwood Room, 2200

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On June 10, 2013, we published a proposed 
rule partially approving and partially disapproving Wyoming's 40 CFR 
51.309(g) regional haze SIP. 78 FR 34738. In our June 10, 2013 proposed 
rule, we provided notification that we were holding a public hearing on 
June 24, 2013, in Cheyenne, Wyoming. To partially accommodate requests 
for both additional time to prepare for public hearings and an 
extension to the public comment period in letters from the Governor of 
Wyoming on June 13, 2013, the Wyoming Congressional Delegation on June 
14, 2013, and the Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality on June 
14, 2013, we have scheduled additional public hearings as stated above 
and extended the public comment period to August 26, 2013.
    The public hearings will provide interested parties the opportunity 
to present information and opinions to EPA concerning our proposal. 
Interested parties may also submit written comments, as discussed in 
the proposed rulemaking. Written statements and supporting information 
submitted during the comment period will be considered with the same 
weight as any oral comments and supporting information presented at the 
public hearings.
