Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans; La 
Grande, OR; PM10 Maintenance Plan and Redesignation Request; Withdrawal 
of Direct Final Rule

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Withdrawal of direct final rule.

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

SUMMARY: Due to an adverse comment, EPA is withdrawing the March 22, 
2006 direct final rule (see 71 FR 14393) to approve a PM10 
State Implementation Plan (SIP) maintenance plan revision for the La 
Grande, Oregon nonattainment area and to redesignate the area from 
nonattattainment to attainment for PM10. In the March 22, 
2006 direct final rule, we stated that if we received adverse comments 
by April 21, 2006, the direct final rule would be withdrawn and would 
not take effect. EPA subsequently received adverse comment on that 
direct final rule. EPA will address all comments received in a 
subsequent final action based upon the proposed action also published 
on March 22, 2006 (see 71 FR 14438). EPA will not institute a second 
comment period on this document.
