ACTION: Immediate final rule. cprice-sewell on PROD1PC66 with RULES AGENCY: SUMMARY: The Solid Waste Disposal Act, as amended, commonly referred to as the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), allows the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to authorize States to operate their hazardous waste management programs in lieu of the Federal program. EPA uses the regulations entitled ‘‘Approved State VerDate Aug<31>2005 15:28 Mar 23, 2007 Jkt 211001 Hazardous Waste Management Programs’’ to provide notice of the authorization status of State programs and to incorporate by reference those provisions of the State regulations that will be subject to EPA’s inspection and enforcement. This rule does not incorporate by reference the New York hazardous waste statutes. The rule codifies in the regulations the prior approval of New York’s hazardous waste management program and incorporates by reference authorized provisions of the State’s regulations. In addition, this document corrects errors made in the program revision table in Section G published in the January 11, 2005 Federal Register authorization document for New York. DATES: This regulation is effective May 25, 2007, unless EPA receives adverse written comment on this regulation by the close of business April 25, 2007. If EPA receives such comments, it will publish a timely withdrawal of this immediate final rule in the Federal Register informing the public that this rule will not take effect. The Director of the Federal Register approves this incorporation by reference as of May 25, 2007 in accordance with 5 U.S.C. 552(a) and 1 CFR part 51.

Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; Texas; El Paso 
County Carbon Monoxide Redesignation to Attainment, and Approval of 
Maintenance Plan

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Withdrawal of direct final rule.

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

SUMMARY: On January 23, 2007 (72 FR 2776), EPA published a direct final 
rule approving the redesignation of the El Paso, Texas, carbon monoxide 
(CO) nonattainment area to attainment for the CO National Ambient Air 
Quality Standard (NAAQS) and the CO maintenance plan with its 
associated Motor Vehicle Emission Budgets (MVEBs). EPA also found the 
MVEBs adequate. The direct final action was published without prior 
proposal because EPA anticipated no adverse comment. EPA stated in the 
direct final rule that if EPA received relevant adverse comment by 
February 22, 2007, EPA would publish a timely withdrawal in the Federal 
Register. EPA

[[Page 14044]]

subsequently received a timely relevant adverse comment on the direct 
final rule. Therefore, EPA is withdrawing the direct final approval, as 
well as the finding of adequacy for the MVEBs. EPA will address the 
comment in a subsequent final action based on the parallel proposal 
also published on January 23, 2007 (72 FR 2825).

DATES: The direct final rule published on January 23, 2007 (72 FR 
2776), is withdrawn as of March 26, 2007.
