40 CFR Part 52

[EPA-R03-OAR-2013-0058; FR-9901-21-Region3]


Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans; 
Pennsylvania; Withdrawal of Direct Final Rule for the Update of the 
Motor Vehicle Emissions Budgets for the Lancaster 1997 8-Hour Ozone 
Maintenance Area

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Withdrawal of direct final rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is withdrawing the direct final rule to approve revisions 
to the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania's State Implementation Plan (SIP). 
The revisions consist of an update to the SIP-approved Motor Vehicle 
Emissions Budgets (MVEBs) for nitrogen oxides (NOX) and 
volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and an updated point source 
inventory for NOX and VOCs for the 1997 8-Hour Ozone 
National Ambient Air Quality Standard SIP for Lancaster County. In the 
direct final rule published on August 8, 2013, the table with the 
revised MVEBs contained numerical errors. Therefore, EPA is withdrawing 
this direct final rule in its entirety. EPA will commence a separate 
rulemaking action for this SIP revision.

DATES: The direct final rule published at 78 FR 48323 on August 8, 
2013, is withdrawn as of September 26, 2013.
