40 CFR Part 52

[PA 124-4079a; FRL-7545-4]


Approval and Promulgation of State Air Quality Plans for 
Designated Facilities and Pollutants, Commonwealth of Pennsylvania; 
Withdrawal of Direct Final Rule; Control of Landfill Gas Emissions From 
Existing Municipal Solid Waste Landfills

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Withdrawal of direct final rule.

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

SUMMARY: Due to our receipt of adverse written public comments, EPA is 
withdrawing the direct final rule to approve Pennsylvania's section 
111(d) plan for the Control of Landfill Gas Emissions From Existing 
Municipal Solid Waste Landfills. In the direct final rule published on 
June 24, 2003 (68 FR 37421), EPA stated that if we received adverse 
written public comment by July 24, 2003, the rule would be withdrawn 
and would not take effect. EPA subsequently received a letter of 
adverse comments. EPA will address the comments received in a 
subsequent final action based upon the proposed action also published 
on June 24, 2003 (68 FR 37449). EPA will not institute a second comment 
period on this action.

DATE: The Direct final rule is withdrawn as of August 19, 2003.
