ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[MI83-02-7292; FRL-7581-9]


Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans; 
Michigan; 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 revision to Michigan's 
definition of volatile organic compound. The approval would have 
revised Michigan's State Implementation Plan (SIP) for ozone. In the 
direct final rule published on September 2, 2003 (68 FR 52104), EPA 
stated that if EPA receives adverse comment by October 2, 2003, the 
rule would be withdrawn and not take effect.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 52104 on September 2, 
2003, is withdrawn as of October 31, 2003.
