Clean Air Act Promulgation of Extension of Attainment Date for 
Ozone Nonattainment Area; Ohio; Kentucky

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Direct final rule; withdrawal.

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

SUMMARY: On May 27, 1997 (62 FR 28634), EPA extended the attainment 
date for the Cincinnati-Hamilton interstate moderate ozone 
nonattainment area from November 15, 1996 to November 15, 1997. This 
extension was based in part on monitored air quality readings for the 
national ambient air quality standard (NAAQS) for ozone during 1996. 
Accordingly, EPA revised the table in the Code of Federal Regulations 
concerning ozone attainment dates in this area. The EPA is withdrawing 
this final rule due to the receipt of adverse comments on EPA's 
rulemaking action. In a subsequent final rule, EPA will summarize and 
respond to the comments received and announce final rulemaking action 
on the attainment date extension requests.

EFFECTIVE DATE: July 28, 1997.

available for public inspection during normal business hours at the
