    SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

    EPA is withdrawing the May 22, 2014 (79 FR 29324), direct final rule approving a revision to the 1997 8-hour ozone maintenance plan for the Illinois portion of the Chicago-Gary-Lake County, Illinois-Indiana area. In the direct final rule, EPA stated that if adverse comments were received by June 23, 2014, the rule would be withdrawn and not take effect. On May 26, 2014, EPA received a comment, which it interprets as adverse and, therefore, EPA is withdrawing the direct final rule.

EPA will not institute a second comment period on this action.
