40 CFR Part 52

[PA 112-4084; FRL-6702-7]


Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans; 
Pennsylvania; Withdrawal of Proposed Rule

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Withdrawal of notice of proposed rulemaking.

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

SUMMARY: On February 2, 1999 (64 FR 5015), EPA proposed to approve the 
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania's regulations for Nitrogen Oxides 
(NOX) Allowance Requirements (commonly referred to as the 
NOX Budget Rule) as a revision to the State Implementation 
Plan (SIP). Prior to our taking any final rulemaking, the Commonwealth 
informed us that it was revising the rule. On December 27, 1999, the 
Commonwealth submitted a new SIP revision request to EPA which consists 
of the revised version of its NOX Budget Rule. Because the 
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania has now submitted the revised version of 
its NOX Budget Rule as a SIP revision, we are withdrawing 
our February 2, 1999 proposed rule on the old version. EPA will 
initiate a new and separate rulemaking on the Commonwealth's December 
27, 1999 SIP revision submittal.
