SUMMARY: Due to an adverse comment, the EPA is withdrawing the direct final rule revising particulate matter (PM) control requirements for certain natural gas combustion sources in Indiana. In the direct final rule published on October 11, 2002 (67 FR 63268), we stated that if we receive adverse comment by November 12, 2002, the rule would be withdrawn and not take effect. EPA subsequently received adverse comment. EPA will address the comments received in a subsequent final action based upon the proposed action also published on October 11, 2002 (67 FR 63353). EPA will not institute a second comment period on this action.
