Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans; 
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania; Withdrawal of Final Rule

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Withdrawal of direct final rule.

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

SUMMARY: Due to receipt of adverse comment, EPA is withdrawing the 
direct final rule for the approval of revisions to the Pennsylvania 
State Implementation Plan (SIP). EPA published the direct final rule on 
September 16, 1998 (63 FR 49436), approving revisions to supplement 
Pennsylvania's enhanced motor vehicle emissions inspection and 
maintenance (I/M) program. As stated in that Federal Register document, 
if adverse comments were received by October 16, 1998, a timely 
withdrawal would be published in the Federal Register. EPA subsequently 
received adverse comments on that direct final rule. EPA will address 
the comments received in a subsequent final action and issue a final 
rule based on the parallel proposal also published on September 16, 
1998 (63 FR 49517). In a separate document appearing in the Proposed 
Rules section, EPA is announcing extension of the comment period on 
this action.

EFFECTIVE DATE: October 21, 1998.
