[EPA-R03-OW-2009-0985; FRL -                         ]

 

Announcement to Extend the Recommended Determination Preparation Period
for the Spruce No. 1 Surface Mine, Logan County, West Virginia.

AGENCY:  	Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION:  	Announcement of Extension.

SUMMARY: EPA’s regulations require that the Regional Administrator
either withdraw the Spruce No. 1 Proposed Determination or prepare a
Recommended Determination within 30 days after the conclusion of the
public hearing (40 CFR 231.5(a)). However, in order to allow full
consideration of the extensive record, including over 4000 public
comments we received, EPA finds there is good cause to extend the time
period provided in 40 CFR 231.5(a) until September 24, 2010. This time
extension was made under authority of 40 CFR 231.8, which allows for
such extensions upon a showing of good cause.

Dated: ____________     				________/s/_______________

							William C. Early

							Acting Regional Administrator 

Region III
