On October 15, 2024, we published in the Federal Register ``Air
Quality State Implementation Plans; Partial Approval, Partial
Disapproval and Promulgation; Texas; Regional Haze'', where we proposed
to partially approve and partially disapprove the regional haze State
implementation plan (SIP) revision submitted by Texas on July 20, 2021,
under the Clean Air Act (CAA) and EPA's Regional Haze Rule (RHR) for
the program's second implementation period. In response to requests for
additional time to develop and submit comments on the proposed
rulemaking, we have decided to extend the public comment period. The
original deadline to submit comments was November 14, 2024. The comment
period will now close on December 3, 2024. This action will allow
interested persons additional time to prepare and submit comments on
the proposed action listed above.
