ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 52
[MN73-2; FRL-7578-5]
Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans;
Minnesota; Withdrawal of Direct Final Rule
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Withdrawal of direct final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: Due to the receipt of an adverse comment, the EPA is
withdrawing the direct final rule approving a site-specific revision to
the Minnesota particulate matter (PM) State Implementation Plan (SIP)
for Lafarge Corporation's (Lafarge) facility located on Red Rock Road
in Saint Paul, Ramsey County, Minnesota. In the direct final rule
published on September 2, 2003 (68 FR 52106), EPA stated that if EPA
receives adverse comment by October 2, 2003, the PM rule would be
withdrawn and not take effect. On September 2, 2003, EPA subsequently
received one comment. We believe this comment is adverse and,
therefore, we are withdrawing the direct final rule. EPA will address
the comment received in a subsequent final action based on the proposed
action published on September 2, 2003.
DATES: The direct final rule published at 68 FR 52106 on September 2,
2003, is withdrawn as of October 27, 2003.
