Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans; 
Pennsylvania; NOX RACT Determinations for the Koppel Steel 
Corporation 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 a revision which 
establishes reasonably available control technology (RACT) requirements 
for Koppel Steel Corporation, a major source of nitrogen oxides 
(NOX) located in the Pittsburgh-Beaver Valley ozone 
nonattainment area. In the direct final rule published on August 24, 
2001 (66 FR 44544), 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September 24, 2001, the rule would be withdrawn and not take effect.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 44581). EPA will not institute 
a second comment period on this action.

EFFECTIVE DATE: The Direct final rule is withdrawn as of September 28, 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