ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[WI-113-7343; FRL-7508-4]


Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; Wisconsin; 
Withdrawal of Direct Final Rule

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Withdrawal of direct final rule.

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

SUMMARY: Due to an adverse comment, the EPA is withdrawing the direct 
final rule providing new compliance options for sources subject to 
Wisconsin rules that limit emissions of nitrogen oxides 
(NOX) from large electricity generating units in the 
Milwaukee-Racine ozone non-attainment area. In the direct final rule 
published on April 10, 2003 (68 FR 17551), we stated that if we receive 
any adverse comments by May 12, 2003, the rule would be withdrawn and 
not take effect. EPA subsequently received adverse comments. EPA will 
address the comments received in a subsequent final action based upon 
the proposed action also published on April 10, 2003 (68 FR 17576). EPA 
will not institute a second comment period on this action.

DATES: The direct final rule is withdrawn as of June 6, 2003.
