40 CFR Part 52

[CA 249-0305; FRL-7102-3]


Partial Removal of Direct Final Rule Revising the California 
State Implementation Plan, Bay Area Air Quality Management District

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Partial removal of direct final rule.

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

SUMMARY: On September 12, 2001 (65 FR 47392), EPA published a direct 
final approval of a revision to the California State Implementation 
Plan (SIP) which pertained to the Bay Area Air Quality Management 
District (BAAQMD) Rule 8-51, Adhesive and Sealant Products. 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 October 12, 2001, EPA would 
publish a timely removal in the Federal Register. EPA subsequently 
received adverse comments on the direct final rule. Therefore, EPA is 
removing the direct final approval. EPA will address the comments in a 
subsequent final action based on the parallel proposal also published 
on September 12, 2001 (65 FR 47419). The direct final approval of the 
South Coast Air Quality Management District Rule 443.1, Labeling of 
Materials Containing Organic Solvent, also published on September 12, 
2001 is not affected by this removal and is incorporated into the SIP 
as of the effective date of the September 12, 2001 direct final action.

EFFECTIVE DATE: November 15, 2001.
