ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 81

[KY 116; KY 119-200214(c); FRL-7166-5]


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

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Withdrawal of direct final rule.

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

SUMMARY: On February 12, 2002 (67 FR 6411), EPA published a direct 
final approval of a revision to the Kentucky State Implementation Plan 
(SIP) which pertained to the Kentucky portion of the Cincinnati-
Hamilton non-attainment area. 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 
March 14, 2002, 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 February 12, 2002 (67 FR 6459). 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 February 12, 2002, 
is withdrawn as of April 8, 2002.
