comment period for the proposed AERR was for 70 days, ending on October 
18, 2023. On September 14, 2023, the EPA reopened the comment period 
for the ICR (88 FR 63046). The EPA received numerous comments 
requesting that the Agency extend the comment period for the proposed

for both by 30 days, ending on November 17, 2023.
