Conditional Approval of Implementation Plan; Indiana; Withdrawal of Direct Final Rule

AGENCY:

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION:

Withdrawal of direct final rule.

SUMMARY:

Due to adverse comments, the EPA is withdrawing the direct final rule which conditionally approved the revisions to Indiana's State Implementation Plan for the Prevention of Significant Deterioration provisions for attainment areas. In the direct final rule published on January 15, 2003 (68 FR 1970), EPA stated that if EPA receives adverse comments by February 14, 2003, the rule would be withdrawn and not take effect. EPA subsequently received adverse comments, and will address these comments in a subsequent final action based upon the proposed action also published on January 15, 2003 (68 FR 1970). EPA will not institute a second comment period on this action.

EFFECTIVE DATE:

This direct final rule is withdrawn as of March 3, 2003.
