40 CFR Part 52

[PA-4136a; FRL-7060-8]


Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans; 
Pennsylvania; VOC RACT Determinations for Nine 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 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 nine 
major sources of volatile organic compounds (VOC) located in the 
Pittsburgh-Beaver Valley ozone nonattainment area. In the direct final 
rule published on August 24, 2001 (66 FR 44528), EPA stated that if it 
received adverse comment by September 24, 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withdrawn and not take effect.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 24, 2001 (66 FR 
44580). EPA will not institute a second comment period on this action.

EFFECTIVE DATE: The Direct final rule is withdrawn as of September 28, 
2001.
