The 90-day extension will allow time for EPA to consider whether to further extend the effective date of the rule through a Sierra Club v. EPA 18cv3472 NDCA Tiers 8&9 ED 002061 00091918-00001 rulemaking action while the Agency reconsiders the rule in response to a petition the agency received in February 2017 from the RMP Coalition. "As an agency, we need to be responsive to concerns raised by stakeholders regarding regulations so facility owners and operators know what is expected of them," EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt said as he directed the Agency to extend the comment period.
