SUMMARY: Due to an adverse comment, EPA is withdrawing the direct final 
rule to approve reasonable available control technology (RACT) to limit 
volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions from distilled spirits 
facilities. In the direct final rule published on May 22, 2001 (66 FR

the rule would be withdrawn and not take effect. EPA received adverse 
comments on June 21, 2001. EPA will address the comments received in a 
subsequent final action based upon the proposed action also published 
on May 22, 2001 (66 FR 28138). EPA will not institute a second comment 
period on this action.

DATES: The Direct final rule published at 66 FR 28058, May 22, 2001, is 
withdrawn as of July 6, 2001.
