Control of Hazardous Air Pollutants From Mobile Sources: Early 
Credit Technology Requirement Revision

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Withdrawal of Direct Final Rule.

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

SUMMARY: Because EPA received significant adverse comment, we are 
withdrawing the direct final rule for revising the February 26, 2007 
mobile source air toxics rule's requirements that specify the benzene 
control technologies that qualify a refiner to generate early benzene 
credits, published on March 12, 2008.

DATES: Effective May 9, 2008, EPA withdraws the direct final rule 
published at 73 FR 13132 on March 12, 2008.

Transportation and Air Quality, Assessment and Standards Division,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Because EPA received significant adverse 
comment, we are withdrawing the direct final rule for revising the 
February 26, 2007 mobile source air toxics rule's requirements that 
specify the benzene control technologies that qualify a refiner to 
generate early benzene credits, published on March 12, 2008 (73 FR 
13132). We stated in that direct final rule that if we received adverse 
comment by April 11, 2008, the direct final rule would not take effect 
and we would publish a timely withdrawal in the Federal Register. We 
subsequently received significant adverse comment on that direct final 
rule. We will address those comments in any subsequent final action, 
which will be based on the parallel proposed rule also published on 
March 12, 2008 (73 FR 13163). As stated in the direct final rule and 
the parallel proposed rule, we will not institute a second comment 
period on this action.

    Dated: May 1, 2008.
Stephen L. Johnson,
 Administrator.

Accordingly, the amendments to the rule published on March 12, 2008 (73 
FR 13132) are withdrawn as of May 9, 2008.
