Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; Texas; El Paso
Carbon Monoxide Limited Maintenance Plan
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Withdrawal of direct final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is withdrawing a
direct final rule published on March 21, 2017 because a relevant
adverse comment was received. The rule pertained to EPA approval of the
required second carbon monoxide (CO) maintenance plan for the El Paso,
Texas CO maintenance area as a revision to the Texas State
Implementation Plan (SIP). In a separate subsequent final rulemaking
EPA will address the comment received.
DATES: The direct final rule published on March 21, 2017 (82 FR 14442),
is withdrawn effective May 22, 2017.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Throughout this document ``we,'' ``us,'' and
``our'' means the EPA. On March 21, 2017 we published a direct final
rule approving the required second CO maintenance plan for the El Paso,
Texas CO maintenance area as a revision to the Texas SIP (82 FR 14442).
The direct final rule was published without prior proposal because we
anticipated no adverse comments. We stated in the direct final rule
that if we received relevant adverse comments by April 20, 2017, we
would publish a timely withdrawal in the Federal Register. We received
a relevant adverse comment and accordingly are withdrawing the direct
final rule. In a separate subsequent final rulemaking we will address
the comment received.
