Summary

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is extending the comment period for the proposed rule "Water Quality Standards; Establishment of a Numeric Criterion for Selenium for the State of California" for an additional 45 days, from February 11, 2019, to March 28, 2019. The EPA will offer virtual public hearings on the proposed rule via the internet on March 19, 2019, and March 20, 2019. The EPA is taking this action in order to ensure the public comment period remains open to accommodate the public hearings, originally scheduled for January 29, 2019, and January 30, 2019, and rescheduled due to the recent federal government shutdown. This extension is necessary to comply with public notice requirements.
