[CA 082-FOAb; FRL-7397-6]
Withdrawal of Direct Final Determination of Attainment of the 1-
Hour Ozone Standard for San Diego County, CA
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Withdrawal of direct final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: On August 23, 2002 (67 FR 54580), EPA published a direct final
determination that the San Diego area had attained the 1-hour ozone air
quality standard by the deadline required by the Clean Air Act. The
direct final action was published without prior proposal because EPA
anticipated no adverse comment. The
[[Page 65046]]
direct final rule stated that if adverse comments were received by
September 23, 2002, EPA would publish a timely withdrawal in the
Federal Register. EPA received a timely adverse comment and is,
therefore, withdrawing the direct final approval. Elsewhere in this
issue EPA addresses the comments in a final action based on the
parallel proposal also published on August 23, 2002 (67 FR 54601). As
stated in the parallel proposal, EPA will not institute a second
comment period on this action.
DATES: The direct final rule published on August 23, 2002 (67 FR
54580), is withdrawn as of October 23, 2002.
