ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 52
[MD 080-3037; FRL-6716-9]
Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans;
Maryland; Withdrawal of Proposed Rule
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Withdrawal of notice of proposed rulemaking.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: On January 26, 1999 (64 FR 3906), EPA proposed to approve the
State of Maryland's regulations for Nitrogen Oxides (NO<INF>X</INF>)
Budget Program (commonly referred to as the NO<INF>X</INF> Budget Rule)
as a revision to the State Implementation Plan (SIP). Prior to our
taking any final rulemaking, Maryland informed us that it was revising
the rule. On November 18, 1999, Maryland submitted a new SIP revision
request to EPA which consists of the revised version of its
NO<INF>X</INF> Budget Rule. Because the State of Maryland has now
submitted the revised version of its NO<INF>X</INF> Budget Rule as a
SIP revision, we are withdrawing our January 26, 1999 proposed rule on
the old version. EPA will initiate a new and separate rulemaking on the
Maryland's November 18, 1999 SIP revision submittal.
DATES: This proposed rule is withdrawn as of June 16, 2000.
