final rule approving the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency's 
request to redesignate the Chicago and Granite City nonattainment areas

lead, the state's maintenance plans for the areas, and rules applying 
emission limits and other control requirements to lead sources in the 
areas.

2017, is withdrawn effective December 8, 2017.

adverse comments were submitted by November 17, 2017, the rule would be 
withdrawn and not take effect. EPA received an adverse comment prior to

2017 (82 FR 48475). EPA will not institute a second comment period on
