Summary

The EPA is announcing the extension of the public comment period on the proposed national emission standards for hazardous air pollutants (NESHAP) for mercury cell chlor-alkali plants. We originally requested comments on the proposed rule by September 3, 2002 (67 FR 44672, July 3, 2002). We are extending the deadline for written comments to October 3, 2002 because the docket for the proposed rule, which contains pertinent information related to the proposal, was not available for inspection prior to July 31, 2002. In addition, we have received a request for a 30-day extension from the Chlorine Institute to provide more time to evaluate the provisions contained in the proposed rule and to provide detailed comments.

Dates

Comments may be submitted by October 3, 2002.
