Rulemaking To Reaffirm the Promulgation of Revisions of the Acid
Rain Program Rules
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Withdrawal of direct final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: Because EPA received an adverse comment, EPA is withdrawing
the direct final rule for ``Rulemaking to Reaffirm the Promulgation of
Revisions of the Acid Rain Program Rules,'' which was published in the
Federal Register on December 15, 2008.
DATES: Effective March 26, 2009, EPA withdraws the direct final rule
published at 73 FR 75954 on December 15, 2008.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Dwight C. Alpern, Clean Air Markets
Division, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Clean Air Markets
Division, Mailcode: 6204J, Ariel Rios Building, 1200 Pennsylvania Ave.,
NW., Washington, DC 20460, telephone (202) 343-9151, e-mail at
alpern.dwight@epa.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Because EPA received an adverse comment, EPA is withdrawing the direct final rule for ``Rulemaking to Reaffirm the
Promulgation of Revisions of the Acid Rain Program Rules,'' which was
published on December 15, 2008 (73 FR 75954).
EPA stated in that direct final rule that if EPA received adverse
comment by January 29, 2009, the direct final rule would not take
effect and EPA would publish a timely withdrawal of the direct final
rule in the Federal Register. EPA subsequently received an adverse
comment on the direct final rule.
Because EPA received an adverse comment, EPA is withdrawing the
direct final rule for ``Rulemaking to Reaffirm the Promulgation of
Revisions of the Acid Rain Program Rules.'' As stated in the parallel
proposed rule (73 FR 75983) published on the same day as the direct
final rule, EPA will not institute a second comment period in this
proceeding concerning the Acid Rain Program rule revisions addressed in
the direct final and parallel proposed rules. EPA will address the
adverse comment on the direct final rule in a subsequent final rule
based on the parallel proposed rule.
The revisions of the Acid Rain Program rules whose promulgation EPA
proposed to reaffirm in the parallel proposed rule were described in
detail, along with EPA's reasons for such reaffirmation, in the interim
final rule (73 FR 75959) that was published on the same day as the
direct final and that reaffirmed--on an interim basis pending final
action in this proceeding--the promulgation of the Acid Rain Program
rule revisions. EPA notes that it is not withdrawing the interim final
rule.
