These open houses and public hearings will occur in Shiprock, New

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The public hearings will provide interested parties the opportunity to present views or arguments concerning the proposed FIP. Written statements and supporting information submitted during the comment period will be considered with the same weight as any oral comments and supporting information presented at the public hearings. Written comments must be postmarked on or before the last day of the comment period, December 20, 2010. EPA will not respond to comments during the public hearing. When we publish our final action, we will provide written responses to all oral and written comments received on our proposal. To provide opportunities for questions and discussion, EPA will hold open houses prior to the public hearings.

During these open houses, EPA staff will be available to informally answer questions on our proposed action. Any comments made to EPA staff during the open houses must still be provided formally in writing or orally during the public hearing in order to be considered in the record.

Oral testimony may be limited to 5 minutes for each commenter to address the proposal. We will not be providing equipment for commenters to show overhead slides or make computerized slide presentations. Any person may provide written or oral comments, in English or Dine, and data pertaining to our proposal at the Public Hearing. English-Dine translation services will be provided at both the Open Houses and the

Public Hearings in Shiprock and Farmington. English-Dine translation services will not be provided at the Durango Open House and Public

Hearing unless it is requested by November 18, 2010. Verbatim transcripts, in English, of the hearings and written statements will be included in the rulemaking docket.
