AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule; reopening of public comment period.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is reopening the 
comment period for a proposed rulemaking published in the Federal 
Register on October 30, 2020. EPA is reopening the comment period based 
on a request for a 15-day extension.

DATES: The comment period will reopen until March 16, 2021 to allow 
additional time for stakeholders to review and comment on the proposal. 
The comment period for the proposed rulemaking published October 30, 
2020 (85 FR 68826), which ended on November 30, 2020, is being 
reopened. EPA must receive comments on or before March 16, 2021.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by Docket ID No. EPA-R03-
OAR-2020-0320 at https://www.regulations.gov, or via email to 
gordon.mike@epa.gov. For comments submitted at Regulations.gov, follow

comments. Once submitted, comments cannot be edited or removed from 
Regulations.gov. For either manner of submission, 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. 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, please contact the person 
identified in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section. For the full 
EPA public comment policy, information about CBI or multimedia 
submissions, and general guidance on making effective comments, please

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: EPA proposed to approve a state 
implementation plan (SIP) revision submitted on March 10, 2020 by the 
Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (PADEP). The SIP 
submittal (also referred to as ``1997 8-hour Ozone National Ambient Air 
Quality Standard Second Maintenance Plan for the Youngstown-Warren-
Sharon Area'') addresses Clean Air Act (CAA) requirements for the 1997 
8-hour ozone national ambient air quality standard (NAAQS) in the 
Youngstown-Warren-Sharon Area. EPA's October 30, 2020 notice proposed 
to approve the second maintenance plan for the Pennsylvania portion of 
the Youngstown-Warren-Sharon Area as a revision to the Pennsylvania 
SIP.
    EPA is reopening the comment period based on an anonymous request 
to reopen the comment period. The commenter states they were unable to 
obtain information about EPA's proposed rulemaking via email or phone 
from the EPA contact listed in the October 30, 2020 notice. After 
reviewing this request, EPA has determined that the listed EPA contact 
was not available via email or phone during approximately half of the 
30-day comment period. Therefore, EPA has decided to reopen the comment 
period for an additional 15 days to March 16, 2021. All comments 
received on or before March 16, 2021 will be entered into the public 
record and considered by EPA before taking final action on the proposed 
rulemaking. Comments submitted between the close of the original 
comment period and the re-opening of this comment period will be 
accepted and considered.

    Dated: February 18, 2021.
Diana Esher,
Acting Regional Administrator, Region III.
