Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans; 
Virginia; Adoption of the Revised Lead Standards and Related Reference 
Conditions and Update of Appendices; Withdrawal of Direct Final Rule

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 revisions to Virginia's State Implementation Plan 
(SIP). These SIP revisions add the primary and secondary lead standards 
of 0.15 micrograms per cubic meter ([mu]g/m3), related reference 
conditions, and update the list of appendices under ``Documents 
Incorporated by Reference.'' In the direct final rule published on 
January 26, 2011 (76 FR 4537), we stated that if we received any 
adverse comments by February 25, 2011, the rule would be withdrawn and 
would not take effect. EPA received an adverse comment within the 
comment period. EPA will address the comment received in a subsequent 
final action based upon the proposed action also published on January 
26, 2011 (76 FR 4579). EPA will not institute a second comment period 
on this action.

DATES: The direct final rule published at 76 FR 4537, January 26, 2011, 
is withdrawn as of March 18, 2010.
