On October 15, 1996, EPA published direct final approvals of State Implementation Plan (SIP) revisions submitted by New Jersey (61 FR 53692 and 61 FR 53624). These SIP revisions incorporate transportation control measures (TCMs) as part of the State's effort to attain the national ambient air quality standard for ozone and demonstrate that emissions from growth in vehicle miles traveled will not increase motor vehicle emissions and, therefore, offsetting measures are not necessary. This action was published without prior proposal because EPA anticipated no adverse comments. Because New Jersey submitted adverse comments requesting withdrawal of EPA's document, EPA is withdrawing direct final approval of New Jersey's request to revise the SIP, announced on October 15, 1996. EFFECTIVE DATE: This action is effective December 18, 1996.
