Acid Rain Program: Permits and Allowance System Proposed Regulations; Change in Public Comment Period for the Proposed Revisions to the Rules

Özet

On November 18, 1993, EPA published proposed regulations revising 40 CFR parts 72 and 73, the Permits and Allowance System rules of the Acid Rain Program. The original comment period for the proposal was to have ended January 3, 1994. By notice published on December 30, 1993, EPA extended the public comment period to end on January 19, 1994. In response to requests from interested parties, EPA is again extending the public comment period, which will end on February 10, 1994. In addition to the questions set forth in the November 18, 1993 notice of proposed rulemaking, EPA is requesting that commenters address whether and, if so, under what circumstances allowances allocated by EPA to substitution or compensating units under the January 11, 1993 regulations would be given back to EPA at some future date.
