40 CFR Part 52

[PA-4140a; FRL-7079-5]


Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans; 
Pennsylvania; VOC and NOX RACT Determinations for Eight 
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 eight 
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 31, 
2001 (66 FR 45933), EPA stated that if it received adverse comment by 
October 1, 2001, the rule would be withdrawn and not take effect.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 31, 2001 (66 FR 45954). EPA will not institute 
a second comment period on this action.

DATES: The direct final rule is withdrawn as of October 11, 2001.
