Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; Indiana

On February 18, 1997 (62 FR 7157), the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) approved Indiana's October 25, 1994, request to revise the Indiana State Implementation Plan (SIP) to add or revise definitions in the SIP's general provisions, the applicability criteria of the rule for malfunctions and, the applicability criteria for State construction and operating permits. Also approved were revisions to Indiana's construction permit program including its ``Permit no defense'' provision. The USEPA is withdrawing this final rule because in a letter dated March 18, 1997, Indiana informed USEPA that a portion of the State's submittal--326 Indiana Administrative Code (IAC) 2-1-1(b)(1)(h)--is being considered for removal from the IAC. Further, adverse comments have been received on USEPA's rulemaking action.
