Pollution Control District

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

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

SUMMARY: Due to an adverse comment, EPA is removing the addition of a 
paragraph included in a direct final rule approving revisions to the

[[Page 60689]]

published the direct final rule on August 19, 1999 (64 FR 45178), 
approving rule revisions from the Kern County Air Pollution Control 
District (KCAPCD). As stated in that Federal Register document, if 
adverse or critical comments were received by September 20, 1999, 
notice of timely withdrawal would be published in the Federal Register. 
However, because the effective date has passed, EPA is removing one 
amendment. EPA has received adverse comments on that amendment in the 
direct final rule and will address these comments in a final action 
within the near future. EPA will not institute a second comment period 
on this future final action.

DATES: This rule is effective November 8, 1999.
