[AZ 099-0038; FRL-7000-1]


Withdrawal of Direct Final Rule Revising the Arizona State 
Implementation Plan, Pinal-Gila Counties Air Quality Control District 
and Pinal County Air Quality Control District

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

[[Page 33030]]


ACTION: Withdrawal of direct final rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is withdrawing direct final approval of the recision of 
rules from the Pinal-Gila Counties Air Quality Control District 
(PGCAQCD) portion of the Arizona State Implementation Plan (SIP) that 
were published in the Federal Register on May 1, 2001 (66 FR 21675).

EFFECTIVE DATE: The direct final rule published on May 1, 2001 is 
withdrawn as of June 20, 2001.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Al Petersen, Rulemaking Office, Air 
Division, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region IX, 75 Hawthorne 
Street, San Francisco, CA 94105; (415) 744-1135.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On May 1, 2001 (66 FR 21727), EPA proposed 
to approve the recision of various PGCAQCD rules from the Arizona State 
Implementation Plan (SIP). On the same day (66 FR 21675), EPA also 
published a direct final rule approving the recision of these rules 
from the SIP. The action provided a 30 day public comment period and 
explained that if we received adverse comments, we would withdraw the 
relevant direct final action.
    We did receive adverse comments, and are therefore withdrawing the 
direct final recision of all of the rules. We are not opening an 
additional comment period. We intend to finalize action on these rules 
based on the May 1, 2001 proposed action.
