[R05-OAR-2009-0731; FRL-9157-9
Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans;
Wisconsin; Particulate Matter Standards; Withdrawal of Direct Final
Rule
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Withdrawal of direct final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: Due to the receipt of an adverse comment, EPA is withdrawing
the April 8, 2010 (75 FR 17865), direct final rule approving
Wisconsin's update to its state ambient air quality standards. The
updates were made to the particulate matter standards by adding fine
particulate standards and revoking the state's course particulate
standards. The State of Wisconsin submitted this revision as a
modification to the State Implementation Plan on September 11, 2009. In
the direct final rule, EPA stated that if adverse comments were
submitted by May 10, 2010, the rule would be withdrawn and not take
effect. On May 7, 2010, EPA received a comment. EPA believes this
comment is adverse and, therefore, EPA is withdrawing the direct final
rule. EPA will address the comment in a subsequent final action based
upon the proposed action also published on April 8, 2010 (75 FR 17894).
EPA will not institute a second comment period on this action.
DATES: The direct final rule published at 75 FR 17865 on April 8, 2010,
is withdrawn as of June 2, 2010.
