Standards of Performance for Stationary Spark Ignition Internal
Combustion Engines and National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air
Pollutants for Reciprocating Internal Combustion Engines
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Extension of public comment period.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: On June 12, 2006 (71 FR 33804), EPA proposed new source
standards of performance for stationary spark ignition internal
combustion engines. EPA also proposed national emission standards for
hazardous air pollutants for stationary reciprocating internal
combustion engines that either are located at area sources of hazardous
air pollutant emissions or that have a site rating of less than or
equal to 500 brake horsepower, and are located at major sources of
hazardous air pollutant emissions. In this notice, we are announcing a
30-day extension of the public comment period.
DATES: Submit comments on or before October 11, 2006.
ADDRESSES: Comments. Submit your comments, identified by Docket ID No.
EPA-HQ-OAR-2005-0030, by one of the following methods:
? http://www.regulations.gov Follow the on-line instructions for
submitting comments.
? E-mail: a-and-r-docket@epa.gov.
? Fax: (202) 566-1741.
? Mail: Air and Radiation Docket and Information Center,
U.S. EPA, Mailcode: 6102T, 1200 Pennsylvania Ave., NW., Washington, DC
20460. Please include a total of 2 copies. EPA requests a separate copy
also be sent to the contact person identified below (see FOR FURTHER

on the information collection provisions to the Office of Information
and Regulatory Affairs, Office of Management and Budget, Attn: Desk
Officer for EPA, 735 17th St., NW., Washington, DC 20503.
? Hand Delivery: Air and Radiation Docket and Information
Center, U.S. EPA, Room B102, 1301 Constitution Avenue, NW., Washington,
DC. Such deliveries are only accepted during the Docket's normal hours

Instructions: Direct your comments to Docket ID No. EPA-HQ-OAR-
2005-0030. EPA's policy is that all comments received will be included
in the public docket without change and may be made available on-line
at http://www.regulations.gov, including any personal information provided,
unless the comment includes information claimed to be Confidential
Business Information (CBI) or other information whose disclosure is
restricted by statute. Do not submit information that you consider to
be CBI or otherwise protected through http://www.regulations.gov or e-mail.
The http://www.regulations.gov Web site is an ``anonymous access'' system,
which means EPA will not know your identity or contact information unless
you provide it in the body of your comment. If you send an e-mail comment
directly to EPA without going through http://www.regulations.gov,
your e-mail address will be automatically captured and included as part
of the comment that is placed in the public docket and made available
on the Internet. If you submit an electronic comment, EPA recommends
that you include your name and other contact information in the body of
your comment and with any disk or CD-ROM you submit. If EPA cannot read
your comment due to technical difficulties and cannot contact you for
clarification, EPA may not be able to consider your comment. Electronic
files should avoid the use of special characters, any form of
encryption, and be free of any defects or viruses. The Public Reading
Room is open from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.,
[[Page 42623]]
Monday through Friday, excluding legal holidays. The telephone number
for the Public Reading Room is (202) 566-1744, and the telephone number
for the Air and Radiation Docket is (202) 566-1742.
At this time, the EPA/DC's Public Reading Room is closed until
further notice due to flooding. Fax numbers for Docket offices in the
EPA/DC are temporarily unavailable. If you wish to hand deliver
comments during this closure, you may drop them off between the hours
of 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. eastern standard time (e.s.t.), Monday
through Friday, excluding Federal holidays at the EPA Headquarters
Library, Infoterra Room (room number 3334C) in the EPA West Building
located at 1301 Constitution Ave., NW., Washington, DC. EPA visitors

at all times.
Informational updates will be provided via the EPA Web site at
http://www.epa.gov/epahome/dockets.htm as they are available.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This document extends the public comment
period established in the Federal Register issued on June 12, 2006 (71
FR 33804), when EPA proposed new source standards of performance for
stationary spark ignition internal combustion engines. EPA also
proposed national emission standards for hazardous air pollutants for
stationary reciprocating internal combustion engines that either are
located at area sources of hazardous air pollutant emissions or that
have a site rating of less than or equal to 500 brake horsepower and
are located at major sources of hazardous air pollutant emissions. On
June 21, 2006, the American Petroleum Institute (API) requested in a
formal letter that EPA extend the comment period of the proposed rule.
The API indicated that an extended comment period was necessary due to
the complexities of the proposed regulation and to be able to develop a
complete set of comments that consider all the support information that
EPA used to develop the proposal. EPA is hereby extending the comment
period, which was set to end on September 11, 2006, to October 11, 2006.
