Background on Today's Action:
In this action, EPA is providing notice of a public hearing on the Call for Information on Inputs to Emission Equations Under the Mandatory Reporting of Greenhouse Gases Rule (hereinafter referred to as the “Call for Information,” 75 FR 81366, December 27, 2010). In this action, EPA is also extending the public comment periods on the Call for Information and another action published on December 27, 2010, the proposed Change to the Reporting Date for Certain Data Elements Required Under the Mandatory Reporting of Greenhouse Gases Rule (hereinafter referred to as the “Proposed Deferral,” 75 FR 81350).[1]
EPA received a request for a public hearing on the Call for information. Although EPA was not required to and did not provide for an opportunity to request a public hearing in the Call for information, EPA has decided to grant this request to accommodate the public in providing information and comment solicited in that notice. In addition, EPA is extending the public comment period for the Call for Information. The current deadline for submitting comment and information solicited in the Call for Information is February 25, 2011. EPA is extending this deadline to March 7, 2011 to provide the public additional time to submit comment and other relevant information, especially after the public hearing.
In addition, EPA is extending the public comment period for the Proposed Deferral. The current deadline for submitting public comment on that proposed rule is January 26, 2011. EPA is extending that deadline to March 7, 2011. This extension will provide the public additional time for public participation.
