[EPA-R04-OAR-2007-1186-201013(b); FRL-9133-2]

 
Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plan: 
Kentucky; Approval Section 110(a)(1) Maintenance Plan for the 1997 8-
Hour Ozone Standard for the Owensboro Area; Limited Reopening of 
Comment Period

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule; limited reopening of the comment period.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is announcing a limited 30-day reopening of the public 
comment period for the proposed rule entitled ``Approval and 
Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plan: Kentucky; Approval 
Section 110(a)(1) Maintenance Plan for the 1997 8-Hour Ozone Standard 
for the Owensboro Area,'' for the purpose of limited public review and 
comment on supplemental information that was provided by the 
Commonwealth of Kentucky on July 15, 2009, in support of the Owensboro 
Area 110(a)(1) maintenance plan. The Owensboro, Kentucky Area consists 
of Daviess and a portion of Hancock Counties. The proposed rule was 
initially published in the Federal Register on January 20, 2010. The 
reason for this limited reopening of the comment period is that EPA has 
learned that supplemental information relating to projected emissions 
for the Owensboro Area that was referenced in the proposed rulemaking 
January 20, 2010 (75 FR 3183) was inadvertently omitted from the 
electronic docket when that proposed rulemaking was published. EPA has 
since made that information available in the electronic docket and 
wants to ensure an opportunity for the public to comment on that 
information. The July 15, 2009, supplemental information can be viewed 
online at http://www.regulations.gov using docket ID No. EPA-R04-OAR-
2007-1186-0043.
    Thus, EPA is reopening the comment period for an additional thirty 
days, for the limited purpose of providing an opportunity for public 
comment only on the supplemental information added to the docket after 
publication of the proposed rulemaking.

DATES: The comment period for the proposed rule published on January 
20, 2010 (75 FR 3183) is reopened. Comments must be received on or 
before May 3, 2010.

whose disclosure is restricted by statute. Do not submit through http:/
/www.regulations.gov or e-mail, information that you consider to be CBI

technical difficulties and cannot contact you for clarification, EPA

any defects or viruses. For additional information about EPA's public

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The proposed rule was signed by the Acting 
Regional Administrator on January 20, 2010, and published in the 
Federal Register on January 20, 2010 (75 FR 3183). The comment period 
for this proposed action closed on February 19, 2010. EPA did receive 
adverse comments during this public comment period. However, EPA 
noticed an inadvertent omission of the July 15, 2009, supplement that 
Kentucky, provided from the electronic docket at http://
www.regulations.gov. The July 15, 2009, supplement (which was included 
in the electronic docket on February 4, 2010), contains updated 
emissions inventory projections for both the Paducah and Owensboro 
Areas. Since EPA makes reference to this supplement in the January 20, 
2010, proposed rulemaking, EPA is reopening the comment period for this 
proposed action for the limited purpose of allowing the public the 
opportunity to review and consider this supplemental information in 
regards to EPA's proposed rulemaking. EPA is already in receipt of 
adverse comments provided for the initial proposed rulemaking published 
on January 20, 2010, for the Owensboro 110(a)(1) maintenance plan. 
These comments will still be under consideration for any final 
rulemaking action for this area's 110(a)(1) maintenance plan.

    Dated: March 17, 2010.
Beverly H. Banister,
Acting Regional Administrator, Region 4.
