Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 60 / Thursday, March 29, 2007 / Rules and Regulations Congressional Review Act The Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801 et seq., as added by the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996, generally provides that before a rule may take effect, the agency promulgating the rule must submit a rule report, which includes a copy of the rule, to each House of the Congress and to the Comptroller General of the United States. EPA will submit a report containing this rule and other required information to the U.S. Senate, the U.S. House of Representatives, and the Comptroller General of the United States prior to publication of the rule in the Federal Register. A major rule cannot take effect until 60 days after it is published in the Federal Register. This action is not a ‘‘major rule’’ as defined by 5 U.S.C. section 804(2). Under section 307(b)(1) of the Clean Air Act, petitions for judicial review of this action must be filed in the United States Court of Appeals for the appropriate circuit by May 29, 2007. Filing a petition for reconsideration by the Administrator of this final rule does not affect the finality of this rule for the purposes of judicial review nor does it extend the time within which a petition for judicial review may be filed, and shall not postpone the effectiveness of such rule or action. This action may not be challenged later in proceedings to enforce its requirements. (See section 307(b)(2).)

40 CFR Part 80

[FRL-8293-1]


Regulation of Fuels and Fuel Additives: Extension of the 
Reformulated Gasoline Program to the East St. Louis, IL Ozone 
Nonattainment Area

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Withdrawal of direct final rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA published a direct final rule on December 27, 2006, to 
extend the reformulated gasoline program to the Illinois portion of the 
St. Louis Illinois-Missouri ozone nonattainment area effective as of 
May 1, 2007. However, we received an adverse comment during the 30 day 
comment period and are now withdrawing that direct final rule.

DATES: As of March 29, 2007, EPA withdraws the direct final rule 
published at 71 FR 77615, on December 27, 2006.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Kurt Gustafson at (202) 343-9219.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Because EPA received adverse comment, we are 
withdrawing the direct final rule for ``Regulation of Fuels and Fuel 
Additives: Extension of the Reformulated Gasoline Program to the East 
St. Louis, Illinois Ozone Nonattainment Area.'' We published the direct 
final rule on December 27, 2006 (71 FR 77615), that would have approved 
the State of Illinois's request to opt-in to the Federal Reformulated 
Gasoline Program effective as of May 1, 2007. That action would have 
amended our regulations to make the Illinois portion of the St. Louis, 
Illinois-Missouri ozone nonattainment area a covered area and prohibit 
the sale of conventional gasoline. We stated in that Federal Register 
document that if we received adverse comment by January 26, 2007, we 
would publish a timely notice of withdrawal in the Federal Register. We 
subsequently received an adverse comment.
    We will address the comment in a subsequent final action based on 
the parallel proposal also published on December 27, 2006 (71 FR 
77690). As stated in the parallel proposal, we will not institute a 
second comment period on this action.

    Dated: March 22, 2007.
