ACTION: Direct final rule; withdrawal.

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

SUMMARY: On April 14, 2005 EPA published a direct final rule (71 FR 
19702) approving revisions to the New Mexico State Implementation Plan 
(SIP) concerning the second ten-year carbon monoxide (CO) maintenance 
plan for the Albuquerque/Bernalillo County, New Mexico area. The 
revision was based on a request from the State submitted to EPA on 
September 7, 2004. In the proposed rules section of the April 14, 2005 
Federal Register (71 FR 19723), we stated that written comment must be 
received by May 16, 2005. We received written adverse comments during 
the public comment period on our April 14, 2005 rulemaking action. The 
EPA is withdrawing this final rule due to the adverse comments received 
on this rulemaking action. In a subsequent final rule, we will 
summarize and respond to written comments received and take final 
rulemaking action on this requested New Mexico SIP revision.

DATES: The direct final rule published at 71 FR 19702 is withdrawn on 
June 8, 2005.
