Summary

On January 2, 2001, the EPA published a direct final rule (66 FR 16) approving, and an accompanying proposed rule (66 FR 84) proposing to approve, the operating permits program submitted by the State of Washington. Washington's operating permits program was submitted in response to the directive in the Clean Air Act that permitting authorities develop, and submit to EPA, programs for issuing operating permits to all major stationary sources and to certain other sources within the permitting authority's jurisdiction. EPA is removing the amendment made by that final rule due to the adverse public comments received and reinstating the previous regulatory text. In a subsequent final rule, EPA will summarize and respond to the comments received and take final rulemaking action on the operating permits program submitted by the State of Washington. EFFECTIVE DATE: April 2, 2001.
