40 CFR Part 70

[EPA-R05-OAR-2018-0285; FRL-10000-39-Region 5]

Air Plan Approval; Wisconsin; Title V Operation Permit Program; 
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, the Environmental 
Protection Agency (EPA) is withdrawing the July 31, 2019 direct final 
rule approving updates and revisions to the Wisconsin Title V Operating 
Permit Program. The revisions were submitted to update the title V 
program for the first time since the final approval of the program in 
2001 and to change the permit fee schedule for subject facilities. The 
revisions consist of amendments to Chapter Natural Resources (NR) 407 
Wisconsin Administrative Code, operation permits, Chapter NR 410 
Wisconsin Administrative Code, permit fees, and Wisconsin statute 
285.69, fee structure.

DATES: The direct final rule published at 84 FR 37104 on July 31, 2019, 
is withdrawn effective September 25, 2019.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Susan Kraj, Environmental Engineer, 
Air Permits Section, Air Programs Branch (AR-18J), Environmental 
Protection Agency, Region 5, 77 West Jackson Boulevard, Chicago, 
Illinois 60604, (312) 353-2654, kraj.susan@epa.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the direct final rule, EPA stated that if 
adverse comments were submitted by August 30, 2019, the rule would be 
withdrawn and not take effect. EPA received an adverse comment prior to 
the close of the comment period and, therefore, is withdrawing the 
direct final rule. EPA will address the comment in a subsequent final 
action based upon the proposed action also published on July 31, 2019 
(84 FR 37194). EPA will not institute a second comment period on this 
action.
