AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.
ACTION: Final rule; withdrawal.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: Due to an adverse comment, EPA is withdrawing the effective
date for the approval of the Inspection and Maintenance (I/M) State
Implementation Plan (SIP) for Washington State, submitted by the
Washington Department of Ecology to satisfy the requirements of
sections 182(b)(4) and 182(c)(3) of the Clean Air Act as amended and
Federal I/M rule 40 CFR part 51, subpart S. The original action was
published in the Federal Register on July 23, 1996, as a direct final
rule, 61 FR 38086. As stated in the Federal Register document, if
adverse or critical comments were received by August 22, 1996, the
effective date would be delayed and timely notice would be published in
the Federal Register. Therefore, due to receiving an adverse comment
within the comment period, EPA is withdrawing the final rule and will
address the comments received in a subsequent final rule based on the
proposed rule also published on July 23, 1996, 61 FR 38129. EPA will
not institute a second comment period on this document.
EFFECTIVE DATE: This withdrawal is effective on September 6, 1996.
