(919)541-3470; E-mail address: *moore.bruce@epa.gov.* SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Comment Period On August 23, 2011, the EPA published in the **Federal Register** the proposed rule, “Oil and Natural Gas Sector: New Source Performance Standards and National Emission standards for Hazardous Air pollutants Review.” In that notice, the EPA announced that all comments must be received by October 24, 2011. The EPA conducted three public hearings on this proposed rule, the last of which was held on September 29, 2011, in Arlington, Texas. See 76 FR 53371, August 26, 2011. Under section 307(d) of the CAA, the EPA must keep the record open for thirty days after completion of the hearings to provide an opportunity for submission of rebuttal and supplementary information. Accordingly, the public comment period will end on October 31, 2011, rather than on October 24, 2011, as originally published. The EPA has also received numerous requests for extending the public comment period for this proposed rule. This notice only corrects the public comment period pursuant to section 307(d) of the CAA. This notice does not address the pending requests being considered for extending the public comment period. How can I get copies of this document and other related information? The EPA has established the official public docket No. EPA-HQ-OAR-2010-0505. The EPA has also developed Web sites for the proposed rulemaking at the addresses given above. Dated: October 14, 2011. Gina McCarthy, Assistant Administrator for Air and Radiation. [FR Doc. 2011-27237 Filed 10-19-11; 8:45 am]
