ACTION: Withdrawal of direct final rule. AGENCY: Due to the receipt of an adverse comment, EPA is withdrawing the November 2, 2010 (75 FR 67220), direct final rule determining that the Hayden, Nogales, and Paul Spur/ Douglas areas in Arizona had attained the national ambient air quality standard (NAAQS) for particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter of less than or equal to ten microns by the applicable attainment date. On the basis of this determination, EPA concluded that these three ‘‘moderate’’ nonattainment areas were not subject to reclassification. In the direct final rule, EPA stated that if adverse comments were submitted by December 2, 2010, the rule would be withdrawn and not take effect. On November 3, 2010, EPA received a comment. EPA believes this comment is adverse and, therefore, EPA is withdrawing the direct final rule.

On July 6, 2007, the Indiana Department of Environmental Management (IDEM) submitted a request to EPA to amend its State Implementation Plan (SIP) to add incentives for regulatory flexibility for participants in its Environmental Stewardship Program (ESP) and Comprehensive Local Environmental Action Network (CLEAN) Community Challenge Program. Indiana requested that EPA approve the following for ESP and CLEAN members: The incorporation by reference of certain incentives under the National Environmental Performance Track (NEPT) Program, monthly averaging of volatile organic compound (VOC) coating limits, and the processing of pollution prevention projects as minor permit revisions. EPA proposed to disapprove these three incentives on August 19, 2010, and received no comments. This final rule is effective on December 29, 2010.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Throughout this document whenever ‘‘we,’’ ‘‘us,’’ or ‘‘our’’ is used, we mean EPA. This SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section is arranged as follows: I. What public comments were received on the proposed approval and what is EPA’s response? II. What action is EPA taking today and what is the reason for this action? III. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews I. What public comments were received on the proposed approval and what is EPA’s response? EPA’s August 19, 2010, proposed action at 75 FR 51188 provided a 30-day public comment period. We did not receive any comments on the proposed action. II. What action is EPA taking today and what is the reason for this action? EPA is disapproving IDEM’s request for an amendment to the Indiana SIP for incentives for regulatory flexibility for its ESP and CLEAN Community Challenge Program. EPA is disapproving the incorporation by reference of Federal incentives for NEPT members because EPA has discontinued its NEPT program. EPA is disapproving monthly averaging of VOC coating limits because this would constitute a relaxation that could exacerbate high ozone levels and contribute to violations of the ozone standard. EPA is disapproving the third incentive, which affects public notice requirements for pollution prevention projects, because it relaxes the existing SIP-approved public notice requirements and is inconsistent with EPA minor new source rule requirements. III. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews Executive Order 12866: Regulatory Planning and Review Under Executive Order 12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993), this action is not a ‘‘significant regulatory action’’ and, therefore, is not subject to review by the Office of Management and Budget.

for the Hayden, Nogales, Paul Spur/Douglas PM10 Nonattainment Areas, 
Arizona; Withdrawal of Direct Final Rule

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Withdrawal of direct final rule.

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

SUMMARY: Due to the receipt of an adverse comment, EPA is withdrawing 
the November 2, 2010 (75 FR 67220), direct final rule determining that 
the Hayden, Nogales, and Paul Spur/Douglas areas in Arizona had 
attained the national ambient air quality standard (NAAQS) for 
particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter of less than or equal 
to ten microns by the applicable attainment date. On the basis of this 
determination, EPA concluded that these three ``moderate'' 
nonattainment areas were not subject to reclassification. In the direct 
final rule, EPA stated that if adverse comments were submitted by 
December 2, 2010, the rule would be withdrawn and not take effect. On 
November 3, 2010, EPA received a comment. EPA believes this comment is 
adverse and, therefore, EPA is withdrawing the direct final rule. EPA 
will address the comment in a subsequent final action based upon the 
proposed action also published on November 2, 2010 (75 FR 67303). EPA 
will not institute a second comment period on this action.

DATES: The direct final rule published at 75 FR 67220 on November 2, 
2010, is withdrawn as of November 29, 2010.
