Title: ●Final Determination To Extend Deadline for Promulgation of Action on Section 126 Petition From Warrick County, Indiana, and the Town of Newburgh, Indiana 
Abstract: In this procedural action, EPA is extending by 6 additional months the deadline for taking final action on a petition submitted by Warrick County, Indiana, and the Town of Newburgh, Indiana, under section 126 of the Clean Air Act (CAA). Section 126 requires EPA to grant or deny a petition within 60 days. However, the CAA authorizes EPA to grant a time extension of up to 6 months for responding to a petition if EPA determines that the extension is necessary, among other things, to meet the purposes of the CAA’s rulemaking requirements. Actions under section 126 are subject to notice-and-comment rulemaking requirements. EPA is determining that the 60-day time period is not sufficient for EPA to develop an adequate proposal on the petition and to allow for public input on the proposal.
