[WY-001; FRL-5112-1]

Withdrawal for Operating Permit Program; State of Wyoming

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Withdrawal of direct final rule.

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

SUMMARY: Due to adverse comments, EPA is withdrawing the direct final

rule published in the Federal Register on September 23, 1994 (59 FR

48802) promulgating interim approval of the Operating Permit Program

submitted by the State of Wyoming for the purpose of complying with

federal requirements which mandate that states develop, and submit to

EPA, programs for issuing operating permits to all major stationary

sources, and to certain other sources. As stated in the Federal

Register notice, if adverse or critical comments were received by

October 24, 1994, the effective date would be delayed and timely notice

would be published in the Federal Register. Therefore, due to receiving

adverse comments within the comment period, EPA is withdrawing the

final rule (which will delay the effective date of the Wyoming

Operating Permit Program) and will address all public comments received

in a subsequent final rule based on the proposed rule also published in

September 23, 1994 (59 FR 48845). EPA will not institute a second

comment period on this document.

DATES: This withdrawal of rulemaking becomes effective November 21,

1994.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: See the information provided in the direct

final rule located in the final rules section of the September 23, 1994

Federal Register, and in the proposed rule in the September 23, 1994

Federal Register.
