Air Plan Approval; Michigan; Revisions to Part 1 and 2 Rules; 
Withdrawal of Direct Final Rule

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Withdrawal of direct final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: Due to the receipt of an adverse comment, the Environmental 
Protection Agency (EPA) is withdrawing the September 27, 2022, direct 
final rule approving revisions to Michigan Air Pollution Control Rules 
Part 1 Definitions, and Part 2 Air Use Approval for inclusion in the 
Michigan State Implementation Plan (SIP) and the removal of rules from 
the SIP that are part of Michigan's title V Renewable Operating Permit 
program, and rules that have been moved to other sections of the 
Michigan Administrative Code and approved into the Michigan SIP. EPA 
will address the comment in a subsequent final action based upon the 
proposed action also published on September 27, 2022. EPA will not 
institute a second comment period on this action.

DATES: As of November 15, 2022, EPA withdraws the direct final rule 
published at 87 FR 58453 on September 27, 2022.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On September 27, 2022, the EPA published a 
direct final rule (87 FR 58453). The State of Michigan submitted this 
revision as a modification to the SIP on March 22, 2022. In the direct 
final rule, EPA stated that if adverse comments were submitted by 
October 27, 2022, the rule would be withdrawn and not take effect. On 
October 27, 2022, EPA received a comment. EPA believes this comment is 
adverse and, therefore, EPA is withdrawing the direct final rule. EPA 
will address the comment in a subsequent final action based upon the 
proposed action also published on September 27, 2022 (87 FR 58471). EPA 
will not institute a second comment period on this action.
