ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[MO 0129-1129; FRL-6989-6]


Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans; 
Missouri; Withdrawal of Direct Final Rule

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Withdrawal of direct final rule.

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

SUMMARY: On April 6, 2001 (66 FR 18198), EPA published a direct final 
approval of a revision to the Missouri State Implementation Plan (SIP) 
which pertained to the Missouri construction permitting rule. The 
direct final action was published without prior proposal because EPA 
anticipated no adverse comment. EPA stated in the direct final rule 
that if EPA received adverse comment by May 7, 2001, EPA would publish 
a timely withdrawal in the Federal Register. EPA subsequently received 
adverse comments on the direct final rule. Therefore, EPA is 
withdrawing the direct final approval. EPA will address the comments in 
a subsequent final action based on the parallel proposal also published 
on April 6, 2001 (66 FR 18223). As stated in the parallel proposal, EPA 
will not institute a second comment period on this action.

EFFECTIVE DATE: The direct final rule published on April 6, 2001, is 
withdrawn as of June 1, 2001.
