Individual Sources Located in the Philadelphia-Wilmington-Trenton 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 18 
major sources of volatile organic compounds (VOC) and nitrogen oxides 
(NOX) located in the Philadelphia-Wilmington-Trenton ozone 
nonattainment area. In the direct final rule published on August 20, 
2001 (66 FR 43502), we stated that if we received adverse comment by 
September 19, 2001, the rule would be withdrawn and not take effect.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 
20, 2001 (66 FR 43551). EPA will not institute a second comment period 
on this action.

DATES: The direct final rule is withdrawn as of September 26, 2001.
