40 CFR Parts 52

[EPA-R08-OAR-2005-CO-0002; FRL-8044-4]


Clean Air Act Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality 
Implementation Plan Revision for Colorado; Long-Term Strategy of State 
Implementation Plan for Class I Visibility Protection; Withdrawal of 
Direct Final Rule

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Withdrawal of direct final rule.

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

SUMMARY: On January 24, 2006 (71 FR 3773), EPA published a direct final 
rule to approve a revision updating the Long-Term Strategy of the State 
Implementation Plan (SIP) for Class I Visibility Protection, which was 
submitted by the Governor of Colorado with a letter dated March 24, 
2005. The direct final action was published without prior proposal 
because EPA anticipated no adverse comments. EPA stated in the direct 
final rule that if we received adverse comments by February 23, 2006, 
the direct final rule would be withdrawn and would not take effect. EPA 
subsequently received timely adverse comments. Therefore, the direct 
final rule is being withdrawn and the comments will be addressed in a 
subsequent final rule based on the proposed rule also published on 
January 24, 2006 (71 FR 3796). EPA will not institute a second comment 
period on this action.

DATES: The direct final rule published on January 24, 2006 (71 FR 3773) 
is withdrawn as of March 14, 2006.
