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

On August 2, 2024, we published in the Federal Register ``Air Plan
Limited Approval and Limited Disapproval; Texas; Attainment Plan for
the Rusk and Panola Counties 2010 Sulfur Dioxide Primary National
Ambient Air Quality Standard Nonattainment Area; Finding of Failure to
Attain the Primary 2010 One-Hour Sulfur Dioxide Standard for Rusk and
Panola Counties'', where we proposed two actions in the notice. First,
EPA proposed to determine that the Rusk-Panola Counties, Texas
nonattainment area failed to attain the 2010 1-hour primary sulfur
dioxide (SO<INF>2</INF>) national ambient air quality standard (NAAQS)
by the applicable attainment date of January 12, 2022. Second, EPA
proposed a limited approval and limited disapproval of the State
Implementation Plan (SIP) revision for the Rusk-Panola 2010 1-hour
SO<INF>2</INF> Primary NAAQS nonattainment area (89 FR 63117). We
received two requests for an extension of the comment period and, in
response, have decided to allow an additional 45 days for the public to
comment. The comment period will now close on October 18, 2024. This
action will allow interested persons additional time to prepare and
submit comments on the proposed action listed above.
