40 CFR Part 52

[CA 287-0455; FRL-7665-9]


Withdrawal of Direct Final Rule Revising the California State 
Implementation Plan, South Coast Air Quality Management District

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Withdrawal of direct final rule.

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

SUMMARY: On March 22, 2004 (69 FR 13225), EPA published a direct final 
approval of a revision to the California State Implementation Plan 
(SIP). This revision concerned South Coast Air Quality Management 
District (SCAQMD) Rules 1133--Composting and Related Operations--
General Administrative Requirements, 1133.1--Chipping and Grinding 
Activities, and 1133.2--Emission Reductions from Co-Composting 
Operations. 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 April 21, 2004, 
EPA would publish a timely withdrawal in the Federal Register. EPA 
received timely adverse comments and, therefore, is withdrawing the 
direct final approval. EPA will address the comments in a subsequent 
final action based on the parallel proposal also published on March 22, 
2004 (69 FR 13272). As stated in the parallel proposal, EPA will not 
institute a second comment period on this action.

DATES: Effective Date: The direct final rule published on March 22, 
2004, at 69 FR 13225 is withdrawn as of May 21, 2004.
