ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 81

[SD001-0001; FRL-5502-1]


Technical Amendment to Attainment Status Designation for PM-10; 
South Dakota

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Technical amendment.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: On February 6, 1996, EPA published a direct final rule 
amending the attainment status designation for the ``Rest of State'' 
area in South Dakota (excluding Rapid City) from unclassifiable to 
attainment for PM-10 (see 61 FR 4357). As stated in that Federal 
Register document, if adverse or critical comments were received by 
March 7, 1996, the effective date would be delayed and notice would be 
published in the Federal Register. EPA subsequently received adverse 
comments on that direct final rule. However, EPA mistakenly did not 
withdraw the direct final rule in time before it became effective on 
April 8, 1996. Therefore, EPA is amending the South Dakota's PM-10 
attainment status designation table to reflect the unclassifiable PM-10 
designation for the ``Rest of State'' area which existed previous to 
the direct final rulemaking published on February 6, 1996. EPA will 
address the comments received in a subsequent final action in the near 
future. EPA will not institute a second comment period on this 
document.

EFFECTIVE DATE: This amendment becomes effective on May 14, 1996.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: See the information provided in the direct 
final rule located in the final rules section of the February 6, 1996 
Federal Register, and in the short informational document located in 
the proposed rule section of the February 6, 1996 Federal Register.
