Withdrawal of the Determination of Attainment of Ozone Standard
for the Salt Lake and Davis Counties Ozone Nonattainment Area; Utah;
and the Determination Regarding Applicability of Certain Reasonable
Further Progress and Attainment Demonstration Requirements
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Withdrawal of direct final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: On June 8, 1995, EPA published a direct final rule (60 FR
30189) determining the applicability of certain reasonable further
progress and attainment demonstration requirements, along with certain
other related requirements, of Part D of Title I of the Clean Air Act
(CAA) for the Salt Lake and Davis Counties ozone nonattainment area.
This action was published without prior proposal. Because EPA has
received adverse comments on this action, EPA is withdrawing the June
8, 1995, direct final rulemaking action pertaining to the Salt Lake and
Davis Counties area.
EFFECTIVE DATE: July 18, 1995.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Tim Russ, Air Programs Branch (8ART-
AP), United States Environmental Protection Agency, Region 8, 999 18th

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On June 8, 1995, EPA published a direct
final rule determining that certain reasonable further progress and
attainment demonstration requirements, along with certain other related
requirements, of Part D of Title I of the Clean Air Act (CAA), as
amended 1990, for the Salt Lake and Davis Counties, Utah, ozone
nonattainment area were no longer applicable. This determination was
based on the area having attained the National Ambient Air Quality
Standard (NAAQS) for ozone based on three years of ambient air quality
monitoring data (60 FR 30189). The direct final rule was published,
without prior proposal, in the Federal Register with a provision for a
30 day comment period. In addition, EPA published a proposed rule, also
on June 8, 1995, which announced that this direct final rule would
convert to a proposed rule in the event that adverse comments were
submitted to EPA within 30 days of the date of publication of the
direct final rule in the Federal Register (60 FR 30217). EPA received
adverse comments within the prescribed comment period. With this
notice, EPA is withdrawing the June 8, 1995, direct final rulemaking
action (60 FR 30189) pertaining to the Salt Lake and Davis Counties'
ozone nonattainment area. All public comments that were received will
be addressed in a final rulemaking action based on the proposed rule
(60 FR 30217).
