In that rule, RSPA stated that if no adverse comments were received by September [[Page 48953]] 2, 1997, it would publish a confirmation notice in the Federal Register by September 30, 1997, and if an adverse comment was received, RSPA would issue a notice to confirm that fact and would withdraw the direct final rule in whole or in part. The rule also stated that RSPA might then incorporate the adverse comment(s) into a subsequent direct final rule or might publish a notice of proposed rulemaking. RSPA received three comments. All commenters supported RSPA's action on mobile and temporary LNG facilities. There were no adverse comments. Therefore, this document confirms the addition of Sec. 193.2019 to part 193 in the direct final rule, effective October 15, 1997. Issued in Washington, DC, on September 15, 1997. Richard B.
