ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[MN73-2; FRL-7578-5]


Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans; 
Minnesota; Withdrawal of Direct Final Rule

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Withdrawal of direct final rule.

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

SUMMARY: Due to the receipt of an adverse comment, the EPA is 
withdrawing the direct final rule approving a site-specific revision to 
the Minnesota particulate matter (PM) State Implementation Plan (SIP) 
for Lafarge Corporation's (Lafarge) facility located on Red Rock Road 
in Saint Paul, Ramsey County, Minnesota. In the direct final rule 
published on September 2, 2003 (68 FR 52106), EPA stated that if EPA 
receives adverse comment by October 2, 2003, the PM rule would be 
withdrawn and not take effect. On September 2, 2003, EPA subsequently 
received one comment. We believe this comment is adverse and, 
therefore, we are withdrawing the direct final rule. EPA will address 
the comment received in a subsequent final action based on the proposed 
action published on September 2, 2003.

DATES: The direct final rule published at 68 FR 52106 on September 2, 
2003, is withdrawn as of October 27, 2003.
