The Organic Liquids Distribution rule was issued on February 3, 2004 (69 FR 5038). On November 14, 2005, at 70 FR 69210, EPA proposed amendments to the “National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Organic Liquids Distribution (Non-Gasoline)” and provided a 45-day public comment period. Written comments on the proposed rule amendments were to be submitted to the EPA on or before December 29, 2005 (a 45-day public comment period). Requests have been received asking for an extension of the public comment period beyond the 45 days originally provided. These requests have been made by businesses that will be affected by the proposed rule amendments. Their request for this extension is based on the fact that Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays occur during the comment period which would cause hardship on their ability to provide timely and useful comments. In consideration of these concerns, the EPA is extending the comment period by 21 days (until January 19, 2006) in order to give all interested persons the opportunity to comment fully.
