Determination of Attainment of Ozone Standard by Grand Rapids and Muskegon, Michigan; Determination Regarding Applicability of Certain Reasonable Further Progress and Attainment Demonstration Requirements: Withdrawal

On June 2, 1995, the EPA published a proposed rule (60 FR 28773) and a direct final rule (60 FR 28729) determining that the Grand Rapids (Kent and Ottawa Counties) and Muskegon (Muskegon County), Michigan ozone nonattainment areas have attained the National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS) for ozone. Based on that determination, the EPA also determined that requirements of section 182(b)(1) of the Clean Air Act (Act) concerning the submission of the 15 percent plan and ozone attainment demonstration and the requirements of section 172(c)(9) of the Act concerning contingency measures are not applicable to the areas so long as the areas do not violate the ozone standard. The EPA is removing the final rule due to adverse comments and will summarize and address all public comments received in a subsequent final rule (based upon the proposed rule cited above).
