AGENCY:

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION:

Withdrawal of direct final rule.

SUMMARY:

Due to the receipt of an adverse comment, the EPA is withdrawing the November 10, 2004 (69 FR 65069), direct final rule approving revisions to Wisconsin's State Implementation Plan regarding the control of nitrogen oxide emissions. In the direct final rule, EPA stated that if adverse comments were submitted by December 10, 2004, the rule would be withdrawn and not take effect. On December 10, 2004, 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 November 10, 2004 (69 FR 65117). EPA will not institute a second comment period on this action.

DATES:

The direct final rule published at 69 FR 65069 on November 10, 2004 is withdrawn as of January 10, 2005.
