Abstract
The EPA published without prior proposal a Federal Register notice approving a request from the State of Louisiana to remove Pointe Coupee Parish, Louisiana, from the Baton Rouge serious ozone nonattainment area, to reclassify the parish from serious to marginal, and to redesignate it to attainment for ozone. The direct final approval was published on July 22, 1996 (61 FR 37833). The EPA subsequently received adverse comments on the action. Accordingly, the EPA is withdrawing its direct final approval. All public comments received will be addressed in a subsequent final rule.
