L. 104–4); • Does not have Federalism implications as specified in Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999); • Is not an economically significant regulatory action based on health or safety risks subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997); • Is not a significant regulatory action subject to Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001); • Is not subject to requirements of Section 12(d) of the National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272 note) because application of those requirements would be inconsistent with the CAA; and • Does not provide EPA with the discretionary authority to address, as appropriate, disproportionate human health or environmental effects, using practicable and legally permissible methods, under Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994). In addition, this rule does not have tribal implications as specified by Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000), because the SIP is not approved to apply in Indian country located in the state, and EPA notes that it will not impose substantial direct costs on tribal governments or preempt tribal law. 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 action 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. 804(2). VerDate Mar<15>2010 15:02 Jun 29, 2012 Jkt 226001 Under section 307(b)(1) of the CAA, petitions for judicial review of this action must be filed in the United States Court of Appeals for the appropriate circuit by August 31, 2012. Filing a petition for reconsideration by the Administrator of this final rule does not affect the finality of this action 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.

The plan specifically satisfies BART requirements for nonEGUs, most notably by providing new, tighter emission limits for the P.H. Glatfelter facility in Ross County, Ohio.

This revision concerned South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) Rule 1156, Further Reductions of Particulate Emissions from Cement Manufacturing Facilities. The direct final action was published without prior proposal because EPA anticipated no adverse comment. The direct final rule stated that if adverse comments were received by July 2, 2012, EPA would publish a timely withdrawal in the Federal Register. EPA received a timely adverse comment. Consequently, with this revision we are withdrawing the direct final approval of SCAQMD Rule 1156. EPA will either address the comment in a subsequent final action based on the parallel proposal also published on June 1, 2012 (77 FR 32398), or repropose an alternative action.

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

SUMMARY: On June 1, 2012 (77 FR 32398), EPA published a direct final 
approval of a revision to the California State Implementation Plan 
(SIP). This revision concerned South Coast Air Quality Management 
District (SCAQMD) Rule 1156, Further Reductions of Particulate 
Emissions from Cement Manufacturing Facilities. The direct final action 
was published without prior proposal because EPA anticipated no adverse 
comment. The direct final rule stated that if adverse comments were 
received by July 2, 2012, EPA would publish a timely withdrawal in the 
Federal Register. EPA received a timely adverse comment. Consequently, 
with this revision we are withdrawing the direct final approval of 
SCAQMD Rule 1156. EPA will either address the comment in a subsequent 
final action based on the parallel proposal also published on June 1, 
2012 (77 FR 32398), or repropose an alternative action. As stated in 
the parallel proposal, EPA will not institute a second comment period 
on a subsequent final action.

DATES: The addition of 40 CFR 52.220 (c)(362)(i)(B)(2) published at 77 
FR 32398 on June 1, 2012 is withdrawn as of July 2, 2012.
