ODEQ cited various wording from two court cases where both generally stated that a state has regulatory jurisdiction under the CAA over all the land within its territory and outside the boundaries of an Indian reservation, and that regulatory jurisdiction under the CAA must lie initially with either a tribe or a state. EPA considers this a relevant, adverse comment and accordingly is withdrawing the direct final rule. In a separate subsequent final rulemaking EPA will address the comment received.

National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants; 
Delegation of Authority to Oklahoma

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Withdrawal of direct final rule.

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

SUMMARY: On February 24, 2015, the Environmental Protection Agency 
(EPA) published a direct final rule approving the updated delegation of 
EPA authority for implementation and enforcement of National Emission 
Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAPs) for all sources (both 
part 70 and non-part 70 sources) to the Oklahoma Department of 
Environmental Quality (ODEQ). The direct final rule was published 
without prior proposal because EPA anticipated no adverse comments. EPA 
stated in the direct final rule that if EPA received relevant, adverse 
comments by March 26, 2015, EPA would publish a timely withdrawal in 
the Federal Register. EPA received a relevant, adverse comment on March 
25, 2015, and accordingly is withdrawing the direct final rule, and in 
a separate subsequent final rulemaking will address the comment 
received.

DATES: Effective April 21, 2015, the direct final rule published at 80 
FR 9622 on February 24, 2015, is withdrawn.
