Request for Comment on Potentially Inadequate Monitoring in Clean
Air Act Applicable Requirements and on Methods To Improve Such
Monitoring; Notice of Public Comment Period Extension
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Advanced notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPR); notice of public
comment period extension.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The EPA is announcing that the closing date of the public
comment period for the advanced notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPR)
``Request for Comment on Potentially Inadequate Monitoring in Clean Air
Act Applicable Requirements and on Methods To Improve Such Monitoring''
(70 FR 7905, February 16, 2005) is extended sixty days from April 18,
2005 until June 17, 2005. After publishing this ANPR, the EPA received
a letter dated March 11, 2005, from Environmental Integrity Project and
several other environmental and citizens' organizations requesting a
120-day extension of the public comment period to allow the public to
provide more meaningful comments, given the broad scope of the ANPR.
The EPA believes it is reasonable to extend the public comment period
for sixty days and is hereby granting the requested extension for that
period.

restricted by statute. Do not submit information that you consider to
be CBI or otherwise protected through EDOCKET, regulations.gov, or e-

submit an electronic comment, EPA recommends that you include your name
and other contact information in the body of your comment and with any

the use of special characters, any form of encryption, and be free of
any defects or viruses. For additional information
