40 CFR Part 62

[EPA-R05-OAR-2007-0952; FRL-8707-5]


Approval and Promulgation of Revised Municipal Waste Combustor 
State Plan for Designated Facilities and Pollutants: Indiana; 
Withdrawal of Direct Final Rule

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Withdrawal of direct final rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is withdrawing the July 8, 2008 (73 FR 38925), direct 
final rule revisions to Indiana's State Plan to control air pollutants 
from large Municipal Waste Combustors (MWC). The Indiana Department of 
Environmental Management (IDEM) submitted the State Plan on August 24, 
2007.
    In the direct final rule, EPA stated that if adverse comments were 
submitted by August 7, 2008, the rule would be withdrawn and not take 
effect. On July 29, 2008, IDEM submitted a comment to EPA. EPA believes 
this comment is adverse and, therefore, EPA is withdrawing the direct 
final rule. Specifically, IDEM commented that, in the table for 
particulate matter, there was a typographical error in identifying the 
appropriate footnotes for the emission limitations. In addition, IDEM 
stated that it had recently submitted an agency correction for 
publication in the Indiana Register to correct the footnotes for 
mercury and sulfur dioxide in the emission limitations table, and 
requested that these corrections be part of the final federal approval. 
EPA will address the comment in a subsequent final action based upon 
the proposed action also published on July 8, 2008 (73 FR 38954). EPA 
will not institute a second comment period on this action.

DATES: The direct final rule published at 73 FR 38925 on July 8, 2008, 
is withdrawn as of August 21, 2008.
