AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Withdrawal of direct final rule.

SUMMARY: Due to an adverse comment, 

EPA is withdrawing the direct final rule 

to approve Connecticut’s 2005 and 2007 

motor vehicle emissions budgets 

recalculated using MOBILE6.2 for the 

Connecticut portion of the New YorkNorthern New Jersey-Long Island 

nonattainment area and to approve 

Connecticut’s 2007 motor vehicle 

emissions budgets for the Greater 

Connecticut nonattainment area also 

recalculated using MOBILE6.2. In the 

direct final rule published on December

if we received adverse comment by

subsequently received an adverse 

comment. EPA will address the 

comment received in a subsequent final 

action based upon the proposed action 

also published on December 18, 2003 

(68 FR 70484). EPA will not institute a 

second comment period on this action.

EFFECTIVE DATE: The Direct final rule is 

withdrawn as of February 4, 2004.
