Emissions Factors Program Improvements

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Advanced notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPRM); extension of 
public comment period.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: On October 14, 2009, EPA published an Emissions Factors 
Program Improvements ANPRM to convey issues raised by stakeholders 
about the program, inform the public of our initial ideas to address 
these issues, and solicit comments on our current thinking to resolve 
these issues. EPA has received several requests from stakeholders to 
grant additional time to provide comments on the ANPRM. Given that EPA 
published the ANPRM specifically to obtain public comments on the 
emissions factors program and the potential improvements to the 
program, EPA finds this request to be reasonable. Thus, the comment 
period is being extended 30 additional days to December 14, 2009.

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