Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans, Kentucky: Approval of Revisions to the Kentucky State Implementation Plan

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Direct final rule; Withdrawal.

SUMMARY: On September 13, 1999, EPA published a direct final rule (64 FR 49404) approving, and an accompanying proposed rule (64 FR 4925) proposing to approve the Louisville 15 Percent Rate-of-Progress Plan (15 percent plan) which was submitted on November 12, 1993, and amended on June 30, 1997. As stated in the Federal Register document, if adverse or critical comments were received by October 13, 1999, the effective date would be delayed and timely notice would be published in the Federal Register. Therefore, due to receiving adverse comments within the comment period, EPA is withdrawing the direct final rule and will address all public comments received in a subsequent final rule based on the proposed rule. EPA will not institute a second comment period on this document.

DATE: The direct final rule published on September 13, 1999 (64 FR 49404) is withdrawn as of November 3, 1999.
