ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[EPA-R06-OAR-2010-0335; FRL-9902-50-Region 6]


Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; Texas; 
Procedures for Stringency Determinations and Minor Permit Revisions for 
Federal Operating Permits

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Withdrawal of direct final rule.

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

SUMMARY: On September 10, 2013, EPA published a direct final rule 
approving portions of three revisions to the Texas State Implementation 
Plan (SIP) concerning the Texas Federal Operating Permits Program. The 
direct final action was published without prior proposal because EPA 
anticipated no adverse comments. EPA stated in the direct final rule 
that if we received relevant, adverse comments by October 10, 2013, EPA 
would publish a timely withdrawal in the Federal Register. EPA 
subsequently received timely adverse comments on the direct final rule. 
Therefore, EPA is withdrawing the direct final approval and will 
proceed to respond to all relevant, adverse comments in a subsequent 
action based on the parallel proposal published on September 10, 2013. 
As stated in the parallel proposal, EPA will not institute a second 
comment period on this action.

DATES: The direct final rule published on September 10, 2013 (78 FR 
55221), is withdrawn as of November 6, 2013.
