Technical Amendment to Attainment Status Designation for PM-10; South Dakota

On February 6, 1996, EPA published a direct final rule amending the attainment status designation for the ``Rest of State'' area in South Dakota (excluding Rapid City) from unclassifiable to attainment for PM-10 (see 61 FR 4357). As stated in that Federal Register document, if adverse or critical comments were received by March 7, 1996, the effective date would be delayed and notice would be published in the Federal Register. EPA subsequently received adverse comments on that direct final rule. However, EPA mistakenly did not withdraw the direct final rule in time before it became effective on April 8, 1996. Therefore, EPA is amending the South Dakota's PM-10 attainment status designation table to reflect the unclassifiable PM-10 designation for the ``Rest of State'' area which existed previous to the direct final rulemaking published on February 6, 1996. EPA will address the comments received in a subsequent final action in the near future. EPA will not institute a second comment period on this document.
