What should I consider as I prepare my comments for the EPA? 1. *Tips for Preparing Your Comments.* When submitting comments, remember to: • Identify the notice by docket number, subject heading, **Federal Register** date and page number. • Follow directions—EPA may ask you to respond to specific questions or organize comments by including a specific reference. • Explain why you agree or disagree; suggest alternatives and substitute language for your requested changes. • Describe any assumptions and provide any technical information and/or data that you used. • If you estimate potential costs or burdens, explain how you arrived at your estimate in sufficient detail to allow it to be reproduced. • Illustrate your concerns with specific examples and suggest alternatives. • Explain your views as clearly as possible, avoiding the use of profanity or personal threats. • Make sure to submit your comments by the comment period deadline identified. B. How can I learn more about this? The EPA has established a docket for this action under Docket ID No. EPA-HQ-OAR-2017-0430. Please refer to the original **Federal Register** for detailed information about this proposed action. The EPA has also included information on its Web site at *www.epa.gov/radon.* Depending on interest and questions received, EPA may host a question and answer session via webinar during the comment period. Please visit the Web site regularly for updates. In response to requests for an extension, we are extending the public comment period through November 23, 2017. This action will provide the public additional time to provide comments. Dated: September 26, 2017. David Rowson, Director, Indoor Environments Division. [FR Doc. 2017-21519 Filed 10-4-17; 8:45 am]
