SUMMARY: Due to an adverse comment, EPA is withdrawing the direct final

1997 at 62 FR 41865, 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

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.

of September 9, 1997.
