40 CFR Part 52

[PA-4141a; FRL-7061-2]


Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans; 
Pennsylvania; NOX RACT Determinations for Armco Inc., Butler 
Operations Main Plant and Butler Operations Stainless Steel Plant 
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 to approve revisions which establish 
reasonably available control technology (RACT) requirements for Armco 
Inc., Butler Operations Main Plant and Butler Operations Stainless 
Steel Plant, major sources of nitrogen oxides (NOX) located 
in the Pittsburgh-Beaver Valley ozone nonattainment area. In the direct 
final rule published on August 22, 2001 (66 FR 44053), EPA stated that 
if it received adverse comment by September 21, 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withdrawn and not take effect.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 22, 2001 (66 FR 
44097). EPA will not institute a second comment period on this action.

DATE: The Direct final rule is withdrawn as of September 27, 2001.
