40 CFR Part 52

[R05-OAR-2004-OH-0003; FRL-7883-4]


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

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Withdrawal of direct final rule.

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

SUMMARY: Due to the receipt of adverse comments the EPA is withdrawing 
the January 19, 2005 (70 FR 2954), direct final rule approving a 
revision to Ohio's Oxides of Nitrogen (NOX) State 
Implementation Plan (SIP). The State of Ohio submitted this revision as 
a change to the SIP for NOX on June 28, 2004. In the direct 
final rule, EPA stated that if adverse comments were submitted by 
February 19, 2005, the rule would be withdrawn and not take effect. On 
February 18, 2005, EPA received a comment from a citizen and from the 
State of Ohio. EPA believes the comments are adverse and, therefore, 
EPA is withdrawing the direct final rule. EPA will address the comments 
in a subsequent final action based upon the proposed action also 
published on January 19, 2005 (70 FR 2992). EPA will not institute a 
second comment period on this action.

DATES: The direct final rule published at 70 FR 2954 on January 19, 
2005, is withdrawn as of March 14, 2005.
