Withdrawal of Direct Final Rule for Approval and Promulgation of 
Implementation Plans; California State Implementation Plan Revision, 
Bay Area Air Quality Management District

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Withdrawal of direct final rule.

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

SUMMARY: Due to an adverse comment, EPA is withdrawing the direct final 
rule for the approval of revisions to the California State 
Implementation Plan. EPA published the direct final rule on Thursday, 
April 17, 1997 (62 FR 18710), approving revisions to rules from the Bay 
Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD). As stated in that 
Federal Register document, if adverse or critical comments were 
received by May 19, 1997, 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. 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.

DATES: Withdrawal of this direct final rule becomes effective on June 
17, 1997.
