ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[WI91-01-7322; FRL-6446-7]

 
Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; Wisconsin; 
Withdrawal

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Withdrawal of direct final rule.

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

SUMMARY: Because EPA received adverse comment, we are withdrawing the 
direct final rule for the approval of a site-specific revision to the 
Wisconsin sulfur dioxide (SO<INF>2</INF>) State Implementation Plan 
(SIP). We published the direct final rule on August 16, 1999 (64 FR 
44415), approving alternate SO<INF>2</INF> emission limits for Murphy 
Oil, located in Superior, Wisconsin. We stated in the direct final rule 
that if we received adverse comment by September 15, 1999, we would 
publish a timely notice of withdrawal in the Federal Register. We 
subsequently received adverse comment on the direct final rule. We will 
address those comments in a subsequent final action based on the 
parallel proposal also published on August 16, 1999 (64 FR 44451). As 
stated in the parallel proposal, we will not institute a second comment 
period on this action.

DATES: As of September 29, 1999, EPA withdraws the direct final rule 
published at 64 FR 44415, on August 16, 1999.

ADDRESSES: Copies of the SIP revision, public comments on the 
rulemaking, and other materials relating to this rulemaking are
