        <RULE_TITLE>Withdrawal of Federal Water Quality Guidance for the Great Lakes System for Michigan</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On August 4, 2000, EPA specified at 40 CFR 132.6(c) that certain requirements set forth in the Water Quality Guidance for the Great Lakes System (Guidance) at 40 CFR part 132 apply to discharges within the Great Lakes System in the states of Indiana, Michigan, and Ohio because those states had not adopted requirements pertaining to whole effluent toxicity (WET) consistent with the Guidance. On September 19, 2005, Michigan submitted to EPA revisions to the rules that addressed WET requirements. By letter dated December 27, 2005, EPA found that Michigan's revised regulations were consistent with the Guidance, and therefore, approved the WET rule revisions. Michigan adopted the WET regulations into state rule on January 13, 2006. As a result, EPA is proposing to amend 40 CFR 132.6(c) to remove the reference to Michigan.]]></ABSTRACT>
