ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[WI91-01-7322; FRL-6446-7]


Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; Wisconsin; 
Withdrawal

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Withdrawal of direct final rule.

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

SUMMARY: Because EPA received adverse comment, we are withdrawing the 
direct final rule for the approval of a site-specific revision to the 
Wisconsin sulfur dioxide (SO2) State Implementation Plan 
(SIP). We published the direct final rule on August 16, 1999 (64 FR 
44415), approving alternate SO2 emission limits for Murphy 
Oil, located in Superior, Wisconsin. We stated in the direct final rule 
that if we received adverse comment by September 15, 1999, we would 
publish a timely notice of withdrawal in the Federal Register. We 
subsequently received adverse comment on the direct final rule. We will 
address those comments in a subsequent final action based on the 
parallel proposal also published on August 16, 1999 (64 FR 44451). As 
stated in the parallel proposal, we will not institute a second comment 
period on this action.

DATES: As of September 29, 1999, EPA withdraws the direct final rule 
published at 64 FR 44415, on August 16, 1999.

ADDRESSES: Copies of the SIP revision, public comments on the 
rulemaking, and other materials relating to this rulemaking are 
available for inspection at the following address: (It is recommended
