[EPA-R09-OAR-2012-0236; FRL-9690-9]
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 June 1, 2012 (77 FR 32398), 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) Rule 1156, Further Reductions of Particulate
Emissions from Cement Manufacturing Facilities. 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 July 2, 2012, EPA would publish a timely withdrawal in the
Federal Register. EPA received a timely adverse comment. Consequently,
with this revision we are withdrawing the direct final approval of
SCAQMD Rule 1156. EPA will either address the comment in a subsequent
final action based on the parallel proposal also published on June 1,
2012 (77 FR 32398), or repropose an alternative action. As stated in
the parallel proposal, EPA will not institute a second comment period
on a subsequent final action.
DATES: The addition of 40 CFR 52.220 (c)(362)(i)(B)(2) published at 77
FR 32398 on June 1, 2012 is withdrawn as of July 2, 2012.
ADDRESSES: EPA has established docket number EPA-R09-OAR-2012-0236 for
this action. Generally, documents in the docket for this action are
available electronically at www.regulations.gov and in hard copy at EPA
