[Docket# MA-068-7203c; FRL-6430-6]


Approval and Promulgation of State Plans For Designated 
Facilities and Pollutants: Massachusetts; Plan for Controlling MWC 
Emissions From Existing MWC Plants

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Direct final rule; withdrawal.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: On July 14, 1999, EPA published a direct final rule (64 FR 
37851) approving, and an accompanying proposed rule (64 FR 37923) 
proposing to approve, a State Plan submitted by the Commonwealth of 
Massachusetts on January 11, 1999. This State Plan, which is under 
sections 129 and 111(d) of the Clean Air Act, proposes provisions that 
are at least as protective as EPA's Emission Guidelines (EG). The EG 
are applicable to existing Municipal Waste Combustor (MWC) units with a 
capacity to combust more than 250 tons/day of municipal solid waste. 
See 40 CFR part 60, subpart Cb. EPA is withdrawing this direct final 
rule because adverse comments have been received. EPA will now 
consider, summarize and respond to any comments received before taking 
final action on the State Plan.

DATES: As of September 1, 1999, EPA withdraws the direct final 
rulemaking published on July 14, 1999.

ADDRESSES: Copies of the documents relevant to this action are 
available for public inspection during normal business hours, by 
appointment at the Office of Ecosystem Protection, U.S. Environmental 
Protection Agency, Region I, One Congress Street, 11th floor, Boston, 
MA.
