ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 81
[SD001-0001; FRL-5502-1]
Technical Amendment to Attainment Status Designation for PM-10;
South Dakota
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Technical amendment.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: On February 6, 1996, EPA published a direct final rule
amending the attainment status designation for the ``Rest of State''
area in South Dakota (excluding Rapid City) from unclassifiable to
attainment for PM-10 (see 61 FR 4357). As stated in that Federal
Register document, if adverse or critical comments were received by
March 7, 1996, the effective date would be delayed and notice would be
published in the Federal Register. EPA subsequently received adverse
comments on that direct final rule. However, EPA mistakenly did not
withdraw the direct final rule in time before it became effective on
April 8, 1996. Therefore, EPA is amending the South Dakota's PM-10
attainment status designation table to reflect the unclassifiable PM-10
designation for the ``Rest of State'' area which existed previous to
the direct final rulemaking published on February 6, 1996. EPA will
address the comments received in a subsequent final action in the near
future. EPA will not institute a second comment period on this
document.
EFFECTIVE DATE: This amendment becomes effective on May 14, 1996.

final rule located in the final rules section of the February 6, 1996
Federal Register, and in the short informational document located in
