40 CFR Part 52
[PA-101/178-4124a; FRL-7059-8]
 
Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans; 
Pennsylvania; VOC and NOX RACT Determinations for Five 
Individual Sources Located in the Pittsburgh-Beaver Valley Area; 
Withdrawal of Direct Final Rule

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Withdrawal of direct final rule.

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

SUMMARY: Due to receipt of a letter of adverse comment, EPA is 
withdrawing the direct final rule approving revisions which establish 
reasonably available control technology (RACT) requirements for five 
major sources of volatile organic compounds (VOC) and oxides of 
nitrogen (NOX) located in the Pittsburgh-Beaver Valley ozone 
nonattainment area. In the direct final rule published on August 10, 
2001 (66 FR 42128), EPA stated that if it received adverse comment by 
September 10, 2001, the rule would be withdrawn and not take effect. 
EPA subsequently received adverse comments from the Citizens for 
Pennsylvania's Future (PennFuture). EPA will address the comments 
received in a subsequent final action based upon the proposed action 
also published on August 10, 2001 (66 FR 42186). EPA will not institute 
a second comment period on this action.

EFFECTIVE DATE: The direct final rule is withdrawn as of September 20, 
2001.
