The short explanation of this alert was:

Comment period extended to June 29th. Get your comments in! 
More than 600,000 newborns are at risk of brain damage and learning disabilities every year because their mothers were exposed to mercury pollution.  Mercury is highly toxic to everyone, but particularly to children and developing fetuses.  Most mercury is released from power plant smokestacks. Yet, despite the dangers of mercury pollution, the EPA is proposing completely inadequate rules for regulating mercury pollution from coal-burning power plants.  Let's hold the federal government accountable to fully enforce the Clean Air Act and slash mercury pollution from coal-fired power plants.  Ask the EPA and the White House to develop strong mercury rules to protect our children and families.
