40 CFR Part 52

[KY 125-2 -200308(c); FRL-7449-9]


Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans for Kentucky: 
Air Permit Regulations; Withdrawal of Direct Final Rule

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Withdrawal of direct final rule.

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

SUMMARY: Due to adverse comment, EPA is withdrawing the direct final 
rule published December 30, 2002, (see 67 FR 79523) approving several 
revisions to the Kentucky State Implementation Plan. The revisions 
include separating Kentucky's air permits rule into several, smaller 
rules, and renumbering and rewriting these rules in plain English. EPA 
stated in the direct final rule that if EPA received adverse comment by 
January 29, 2003, the rule would be withdrawn and not take effect. EPA 
subsequently received adverse comment. EPA will address the comment in 
a subsequent final action based upon the proposed action also published 
on December 30, 2002 (see 67 FR 79543). EPA will not institute a second 
comment period on this action.

DATES: The direct final rule is withdrawn as of February 10, 2003.
