Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans; 
Pennsylvania; VOC RACT Determinations for Two 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 an adverse comment, EPA is withdrawing the direct final 
rule to approve revisions which establish reasonably available control 
technology (RACT) requirements for two major sources of volatile 
organic compounds (VOC) located in the Pittsburgh-Beaver Valley ozone 
nonattainment area. In the direct final rule published on August 13, 
2001 (66 FR 42415), EPA stated that if it received adverse comment by 
September 12, 2001, the rule would be withdrawn and not take effect.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 13, 2001 (66 FR 42487). EPA will not institute 
a second comment period on this action.

DATES: The Direct final rule is withdrawn as of September 24, 2001.
