Granting Petitions To Add n-Propyl Bromide to the List of 
Hazardous Air Pollutants

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice, extension of comment period.

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

SUMMARY: On January 9, 2017, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) 
published a draft notice of the rationale for granting petitions to add 
n-propyl bromide (nPB), also known as 1-bromopropane (1-BP) (Chemical 
Abstract Service No. 106-94-5), to the list of hazardous air pollutants 
contained in section 112(b)(1) of the Clean Air Act. The EPA is 
extending the comment period on the draft notice that was scheduled to 
close on March 10, 2017, by 90 days until June 8, 2017. The EPA is 
making this interim extension as an initial response to allow adequate 
consideration of a request to extend the comment period by more than 6 
months.

DATES: The public comment period for the proposed rule published in the 
Federal Register on January 9, 2017 (82 FR 2354), is being extended. 
Written comments must be received on or before June 8, 2017.

ADDRESSES: Comments. Submit your comments, identified by Docket ID No. 
EPA-HQ-OAR-2014-0471, at http://www.regulations.gov. Follow the online 
instructions for submitting comments. Once submitted, comments cannot 
be edited or removed from Regulations.gov. The EPA may publish any 
comment received to its public docket. Do not submit electronically any 
information you consider to be Confidential Business Information (CBI) 
or other information whose disclosure is restricted by statute. 
Multimedia submissions (audio, video, etc.) must be accompanied by a 
written comment. The written comment is considered the official comment 
and should include discussion of all points you wish to make. The EPA 
will generally not consider comments or comment contents located 
outside of the primary submission (i.e., on the Web, cloud, or other 
file sharing system). For additional submission methods, the full EPA 
public comment policy, information about CBI or multimedia submissions, 
and general guidance on making effective comments, please visit http://www2.epa.gov/dockets/commenting-epa-dockets.

comment period until June 8, 2017.
