SUMMARY: The EPA published without prior proposal a Federal Register 
notice approving a petition from the State of Texas requesting that 
Victoria County, an incomplete data ozone nonattainment area, be 
exempted from the requirement to perform the oxides of nitrogen (NOx) 
portion of the build/no-build test required by the Federal 
transportation conformity rule. This petition for exemption was 
submitted by the State of Texas on May 4, 1994. EPA's direct final 
approval was published on August 12, 1994 (59 FR 41416).
    The EPA subsequently received adverse comments on the action. 
Accordingly, the EPA is withdrawing its direct final approval. All 
public comments received will be addressed in a subsequent final rule.
