Partial Withdrawal of Direct Final Rule Revising the California 
State Implementation Plan, San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control 
District

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Final rule; partial withdrawal.

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

SUMMARY: On May 30, 2007 (72 FR 29886), EPA published a direct final 
approval of revisions to the California State Implementation Plan 
(SIP). These revisions concerned San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution 
Control District (SJVAPCD) Rule 4307, Boilers, Steam Generators and 
Process Heaters--2.0 MMBtu/hr to 5.0 MMBtu/hr; Rule 4308, Boilers, 
Steam Generators and Process Heaters--0.075 MMBtu/hr to 2.0 MMBtu/hr; 
Rule 4309, Dryers, Dehydrators, and Ovens; Rule 4352, Solid Fuel Fired 
Boilers, Steam Generators and Process Heaters; and Rule 4905, Natural 
Gas-Fired, Fan-Type Residential Central Furnaces. 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 June 29, 2007, EPA would publish a timely withdrawal 
in the Federal Register. EPA received timely adverse comments. 
Consequently, with this revision we are withdrawing the direct final 
approval of SJVAPCD Rule 4352. EPA will either address the comments in 
a subsequent final action based on the parallel proposal also published 
on May 30, 2007 (72 FR 29901), or repropose an alternative action. As 
stated in the parallel proposal, EPA will not institute a second 
comment period on a subsequent final action. The other rules approved 
in the May 30, 2007 direct final action, SJVAPCD Rules 4307, 4308, 
4309, and 4905, are not affected by this partial withdrawal and are 
incorporated into the SIP as of the effective date of the May 30, 2007 
direct final action.

DATES: This rule and withdrawal are effective July 30, 2007.

ADDRESSES: EPA has established docket number EPA-R09-OAR-2007-0236 for
