[EPA-R09-OAR-2005-0557d; FRL-8052-9]


Partial Removal of Direct Final Rule Revising the California 
State Implementation Plan, Yolo-Solano Air Quality Management District

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Partial removal of direct final rule.

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

SUMMARY: On February 1, 2006 (71 FR 5172), EPA published a direct final 
approval of a revision to the California State Implementation Plan 
(SIP). This revision concerned Yolo-Solano Air Quality Management 
District (YSAQMD) Rule 2.21, Organic Liquid Storage and Transfer. The 
direct final action was published without prior proposal because EPA 
anticipated no adverse comment. The direct final rule stated that if 
adverse comments were received by March 3, 2006, EPA would publish a 
timely withdrawal in the Federal Register. EPA received timely adverse 
comments. Consequently, with this action we are removing the direct 
final approval of YSAQMD rule 2.21. EPA will either address the 
comments in a subsequent final action based on the parallel proposal 
also published on February 1, 2006 (71 FR 5211), or propose an 
alternative action. As stated in the parallel proposal, EPA will not 
institute a second comment period on a subsequent final action.
    On February 1, 2006 (71 FR 5174), EPA also published an interim 
final determination to stay CAA section 179 sanctions associated with 
YSAQMD Rule 2.21 based on our concurrent proposal to approve the 
State's SIP revision as correcting deficiencies that initiated 
sanctions. This interim final determination and its stay of sanctions 
is not affected by this partial removal of the direct final action.
    Ventura County Air Pollution Control District Rule 74.14, the other 
rule approved in the February 1, 2006 direct final action, is not 
affected by this partial removal and is incorporated into the SIP as of 
the effective date of the February 1, 2006 direct final action.

DATES: This action is effective April 11, 2006.
