Being part of the group who appealed EPA’s MATS rule we were advised that EPA has extended the comment period on the proposed MATS Reconsideration Rule by 7 days until January 7, 2013. Below is a link to the Federal Register notice that was published on Wednesday, extending the public comment period. The reason given for the extension is that the proposed rule was published “in the ‘Rules and Regulations’ section of the Federal Register, rather than in the ‘Proposed Rules’ section.” A correction document was published December 5, 2012 (77 Fed. Reg. 72294).
Reconsideration of Certain New Source and Startup/Shutdown Issues:
National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants from Coal-and Oil-fired Electric Utility Steam Generating Units, etc., 73968-73969

WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Rep. Nick Rahall (D-W.Va.) Wednesday met in his Capitol Hill office with Wyoming County Circuit Clerk David "Bugs" Stover, who recently completed his third walk from Wyoming County to Washington to raise awareness about the importance of coal to West Virginia's economy.
"I was privileged to welcome Bugs to Washington after his first walk in behalf of coal more than thirty years ago. Those today who look at Bugs march to Washington as long and lonely are only half right. By any stretch, the years haven't made the journey any shorter, but whether they know it or not, Bugs marched with millions who benefit from coal," said Rahall. "Bugs cares passionately about our coal miners and families, and he understands well the importance of coal to our State in providing miners with a means to earn an honest living and provide for their families. Bugs won't ever give up on fighting for our coal miners, and neither will I."
