On December 7, 2021, we published in the Federal Register ``Finding
of Failure to Attain the Primary 2010 One-Hour Sulfur Dioxide Standard
for the St. Bernard Parish, Louisiana Nonattainment Area'', where we
proposed to determine that the St. Bernard Parish sulfur dioxide
(SO<INF>2</INF>) nonattainment area (``St. Bernard area'' or ``area'')
failed to attain the primary 2010 one-hour SO<INF>2</INF> national
ambient air quality standard (NAAQS) under the Clean Air Act (CAA or
the Act) by the applicable attainment date of October 4, 2018 (86 FR
69210). We received a request for an extension of the comment period
and, in response, have decided to allow an additional 7 days for the
public to comment. We are extending the comment period to January 13,
2022. This action will allow interested
[[Page 73719]]
persons additional time to prepare and submit comments.
