SUMMARY: EPA is announcing a reopening of the comment period for the 
proposed rule ``Light-duty Vehicle GHG Program Technical Amendments,'' 
to provide an additional 30 days for public comment. This document 
reopens the comment period and establishes a new comment period end 
date. This additional opportunity to submit comments is provided in 
response to a request for such an extension and to allow the public 
additional time to comment on the proposed rule.

DATES: The comment period for the proposed rule, published on October

on or before November 30, 2018, in order to be considered timely.

comment received to its public docket. Do not submit electronically any 
information you consider to be Confidential Business Information (CBI) 
or other information whose disclosure is restricted by statute. 
Multimedia submissions (audio, video, etc.) must be accompanied by a 
written comment. The written comment is considered the official comment 
and should include discussion of all points you wish to make. The EPA 
will generally not consider comments or comment contents located 
outside of the primary submission (i.e. on the web, cloud, or other 
file sharing system). For additional submission methods, the full EPA
