ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[R06-OAR-2004-TX-0002; FRL-7849-5]

 
Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; Texas; 
Memorandum of Agreement Between Texas Council on Environmental Quality 
and the North Central Texas Council of Governments Providing Emissions 
Offsets to Dallas Fort Worth International Airport

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Withdrawal of direct final rule.

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

SUMMARY: On October 29, 2004 (69 FR 63066), EPA published a direct 
final rule approving incorporation of a Memorandum of Agreement between 
the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality and the North Central 
Texas Council of Governments into the Texas SIP. The direct final 
action was published without prior proposal because EPA anticipated no 
adverse comment. EPA stated in the direct final rule that if EPA 
received adverse comment by November 29, 2004, EPA would publish a 
timely withdrawal in the Federal Register. EPA subsequently received a 
timely adverse comment on the direct final rule. Therefore, EPA is 
withdrawing the direct final approval. EPA will address the comment in 
a subsequent final action based on the parallel proposal also published 
on October 29, 2004 (69 FR 63112). As stated in the parallel proposal, 
EPA will not institute a second comment period on this action.

DATES: The direct final rule published on October 29, 2004 (69 FR 
63066), is withdrawn as of December 17, 2004.
