ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[CA 207-155; FRL 6366-3]


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

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Partial withdrawal of direct final rule.

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

SUMMARY: Due to an adverse comment, EPA is withdrawing the addition of 
a paragraph that was included as part of a direct final rule for the 
approval of revisions to the California State Implementation Plan. EPA 
published the direct final rule on May 4, 1999 (64 FR 23774), approving 
revisions of rules from the South Coast Air Quality Management District 
(SCAQMD). As stated in that Federal Register document, if adverse or 
critical comments were received by June 3, 1999, the rule would be 
withdrawn and it would not take effect. EPA subsequently received one 
adverse comment on one provision of that direct final rule and is 
withdrawing that provision. EPA will address the comment received in a 
subsequent final action in the near future. EPA will not institute a 
second comment period on this action.

DATES: The addition of 40 CFR 52.220(c)(254)(i)(D)(2) is withdrawn as 
of June 25, 1999.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: See the information provided in the direct 
final rule located in the final rules section of the May 4, 1999 
Federal Register, and in the proposed rule published in the May 4, 1999 
(64 FR 23813) Federal Register. EPA received an adverse comment only on 
the addition of Sec. 52.220(c)(254)(i)(D)(2), and we are withdrawing 
only that provision of the direct final rule. The other actions in the 
May 4, 1999 Federal Register are not affected.
