Sources in the State of New Jersey; Withdrawal of Direct Final Rule

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Withdrawal of direct final rule.

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

SUMMARY: Due to receipt of an adverse comment, EPA is withdrawing the 
direct final rule which approved revisions to the New Jersey State 
Implementation Plan for ozone. The direct final rule was published on 
August 11, 2003 (68 FR 47477), approving eight (8) source-specific 
reasonably available control technology (RACT) determinations for 
controlling oxides of nitrogen (NOX). As stated in the 
direct final rule, if adverse comments were received by September 10, 
2003, a timely withdrawal would be published in the Federal Register. 
EPA subsequently received an adverse comment. EPA will address the 
comments in a subsequent final action based upon the proposed action 
also published on August 11, 2003 (68 FR 47532). EPA will not institute 
a second comment period on this action.

DATES: The direct final rule published at 68 FR 47477 is withdrawn on 
September 16, 2003.
