ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[WY-001-0007a, WY-001-0008a, WY-001-0009a; FRL-7166-2]


Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans; 
Wyoming; Withdrawal of Direct Final Rule

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Withdrawal of direct final rule.

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

SUMMARY: Due to the State of Wyoming's withdrawal of the August 9, 
2000, August 7, 2001 and August 13, 2001 submittals to the EPA that 
revise the Wyoming State Implementation Plan (SIP), EPA is withdrawing 
the direct final rule to partially approve and partially disapprove 
these revisions that restructure and modify the State's air quality 
rules. In the direct final rule, published on February 6, 2002 (67 FR 
5485), we stated that if we received adverse comment by March 8, 2002, 
the rule would be withdrawn and would not take effect. EPA subsequently 
received a letter from the State of Wyoming (on March 8, 2002) 
withdrawing the three submittals that EPA is taking action on in our 
February 6, 2002 direct final rule. EPA also received adverse comments 
from the Wyoming Outdoor Council (on March 7, 2002). Since, in addition 
to receiving adverse comments, the State of Wyoming withdrew their 
submittals, the direct final rule is withdrawn and will not take 
effect. In the ``Proposed Rules'' section of today's Federal Register 
publication, we are withdrawing the proposed rule published on February 
6, 2002 (67 FR 5552).

EFFECTIVE DATE: The direct final rule is withdrawn as of April 1, 2002.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Megan Williams, EPA Region VIII, (303) 
312-6431 or Laurel Dygowski, EPA Region VIII, (303) 312-6144.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: See the information provided in the direct 
final rule located in the Rules and Regulations section of the February 
6, 2002 Federal Register (67 FR 5485).
