[MA-088-7216C; A-1-FRL-7509-2]

 
State of Massachusetts; Withdrawal of Direct Final Rule

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Withdrawal of direct final rule.

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

SUMMARY: On April 8, 2003, EPA published a proposed rule (68 FR 17002) 
and a direct final rule (68 FR 16959) conditionally approving revisions 
to section 310 CMR 7.06 entitled ``Visible Emissions'' as a State 
Implementation Plan (SIP) revision for the Commonwealth of 
Massachusetts. In the direct final rule published on April 8, 2003, we 
stated that if we received adverse comment by May 8, 2003, the rule 
would be withdrawn and not take effect. EPA subsequently received 
adverse comments, and thus EPA is withdrawing the final rule. EPA will 
address the comments received in a subsequent final action based upon 
the proposed action also published on April 8, 2003 (68 FR 17002). EPA 
will not institute a second comment period on this action.

DATES: This withdrawal of the direct final action is made as of June 6, 
2003.
