ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[CA 257-0345; FRL-7174-1]


Withdrawal of Direct Final Rule Revising the California State 
Implementation Plan, El Dorado County Air Pollution Control District

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Withdrawal of direct final rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is withdrawing direct final approval of revisions to the 
California State Implementation Plan (SIP) that were published on March 
1, 2002 (67 FR 9403).

DATES: This direct final rule is withdrawn as of April 23, 2002.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Roger Kohn, Permits Office (Air-3), 
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region IX, (415) 972-3973.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On March 1, 2002 (67 FR 9424), EPA proposed 
to approve El Dorado County Air Pollution Control District (EDCAPCD) 
Rule 523, New Source Review, into the California State Implementation 
Plan (SIP).
    On the same day (67 FR 9403), EPA also published a direct final 
rule approving these rules into the SIP. The proposed action provided a 
30 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 approval of EDCAPCD Rule 523. We are not opening an 
additional comment period. We intend to finalize action on these rules 
based on the March 1, 2002 proposal.
