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nonattainment area were no longer applicable.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).
