[EPA-R09-OAR-2005-0557d; FRL-8052-9]
Partial Removal of Direct Final Rule Revising the California
State Implementation Plan, Yolo-Solano Air Quality Management District
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Partial removal of direct final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: On February 1, 2006 (71 FR 5172), EPA published a direct final
approval of a revision to the California State Implementation Plan
(SIP). This revision concerned Yolo-Solano Air Quality Management
District (YSAQMD) Rule 2.21, Organic Liquid Storage and Transfer. The
direct final action was published without prior proposal because EPA
anticipated no adverse comment. The direct final rule stated that if
adverse comments were received by March 3, 2006, EPA would publish a
timely withdrawal in the Federal Register. EPA received timely adverse
comments. Consequently, with this action we are removing the direct
final approval of YSAQMD rule 2.21. EPA will either address the
comments in a subsequent final action based on the parallel proposal
also published on February 1, 2006 (71 FR 5211), or propose an
alternative action. As stated in the parallel proposal, EPA will not
institute a second comment period on a subsequent final action.
On February 1, 2006 (71 FR 5174), EPA also published an interim
final determination to stay CAA section 179 sanctions associated with
YSAQMD Rule 2.21 based on our concurrent proposal to approve the
State's SIP revision as correcting deficiencies that initiated
sanctions. This interim final determination and its stay of sanctions
is not affected by this partial removal of the direct final action.
Ventura County Air Pollution Control District Rule 74.14, the other
rule approved in the February 1, 2006 direct final action, is not
affected by this partial removal and is incorporated into the SIP as of
the effective date of the February 1, 2006 direct final action.
DATES: This action is effective April 11, 2006.
ADDRESSES: EPA has established docket number EPA-R09-OAR-2005-0557 for
