SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Throughout this document wherever ``we,''

On March 7, 2023, we published in the Federal Register
``Determination of Attainment by the Attainment Date But For
International Emissions for the 2015 Ozone National Ambient Air Quality
Standard; El Paso-Las Cruces, Texas-New Mexico'', where we proposed to
determine that the El Paso-Las Cruces, Texas-New Mexico nonattainment
area would have attained the 2015 ozone national ambient air quality
standard (NAAQS) by the August 3, 2021 ``Marginal'' Area attainment
date, but for emissions emanating from outside the United States (88 FR
14095). We received a request for an extension of the comment period
and, in response, have decided to allow an additional 30 days for the
public to comment. The comment period will now close on May 8, 2023.
This action will allow interested persons additional time to prepare
and submit comments on the proposed action listed above.
