Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; Texas; Control of Emission of Oxides of Nitrogen From Cement Kilns

On July 30, 2003, EPA published a direct final rule (68 FR 44631) approving revisions to the Texas State Implementation Plan (SIP) concerning Control of Air Pollution from Nitrogen Compounds, Cement Kilns. The revision was based on a request from the State of Texas submitted to EPA on April 2, 2003. In the proposed rules section of the July 30, 2003, Federal Register (68 FR 44714), we stated that written comment must be received by August 29, 2003. On August 28, 2003, we received written adverse comments on our July 30, 2003, rulemaking action. The EPA is withdrawing this final rule due to the adverse comments received on this rulemaking action. In a subsequent final rule, we will summarize and respond to written comments received and take final rulemaking action on this requested Texas SIP revision.
