Notice of Data Availability on the Disposal of Coal Combustion Wastes in Landfills and Surface Impoundments; Extension of Comment Period

Zusammenfassung

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is extending the comment period for the Notice of Data Availability (NODA) entitled "Notice of Data Availability on the Disposal of Coal Combustion Wastes in Landfills and Surface Impoundments." This notice announces the availability of new information and data concerning the management of coal combustion wastes (CCW) in landfills and surface impoundments and will be used by the Agency in determining how, if at all, this additional information should affect the Agency's decisions as it continues to follow-up on its Regulatory Determination for CCW disposed of in landfills and surface impoundments. This NODA was published on August 29, 2007 (72 FR 49714), and the comment period was scheduled to end on November 27, 2007. However, a number of environmental groups have requested additional time to respond to the issues raised in the NODA and its accompanying documents. Therefore, we are extending the comment period an additional 60 days, which would extend the comment period to January 28, 2008.
