Partial Removal of Direct Final Rule Revising the Arizona State 
Implementation Plan, Maricopa County Environmental Services Department

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Partial removal of direct final rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is removing direct final approval of a revision to the 
Arizona State Implementation Plan (SIP) that was published on May 24, 
2001 (66 FR 28666).

EFFECTIVE DATE: August 10, 2001.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Yvonne Fong, Rulemaking Office (Air-
4), U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region IX, (415) 744-1199.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On May 24, 2001 (66 FR 28685), EPA proposed 
to approve the following rules into the California and Arizona State 
Implementation Plans (SIP).

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
              Local agency                   Rule #                            Rule title
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Antelope Valley.........................         1171  Solvent Cleaning Operations.
Maricopa County.........................          344  Automotive Windshield Washer Fluid.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On the same day (66 FR 28666), EPA also published a direct final 
rule approving these rules into their respective SIPs, and providing 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 removing the 
direct final approval of Maricopa County Environmental Services 
Department (MCESD) Rule 344, Automotive Windshield Washer Fluid. We are 
not opening an additional comment period. At a later date, we intend to 
respond to comments and finalize action on this rule based on the May 
24, 2001 proposal. The other rule listed above is not affected by this 
removal and is incorporated into the SIP as of the effective date of 
the May 24, 2001 direct final action.
