Subject:	Pursuant to 40 CFR 51.102, the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) announces a re-scheduled public hearing and an extension of time for the opportunity to offer comments on a proposed revision to Florida’s State Implementation Plan (SIP) under the Clean Air Act. The re-scheduling of the hearing (if requested) and extension of the comment period was requested in a letter received by the Department on January 29, 2024. This proposed SIP revision addresses regional haze in Florida’s mandatory federal Class I areas and nearby Class I areas for the second implementation period of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Regional Haze Rule. This proposed revision supplements the information that DEP submitted to EPA on October 8, 2021, as Florida’s Regional Haze Plan for the Second Implementation Period. The materials comprising DEP’s revision to the pending SIP submission are accessible at the following website: https://floridadep.gov/air/air-business-planning/content/air-regulatory-projects.
