Clean Air Act Full Approval of Operating Permit Program; 
Virginia; Withdrawal of Direct Final Rule

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Withdrawal of direct final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: Due to an adverse comment, EPA is withdrawing the direct final 
rule fully approving the operating permit program of the Commonwealth 
of Virginia. In the direct final rule published on October 10, 2001 (66 
FR 51581), we stated that if we received adverse comment by November 9, 
2001, the rule would be withdrawn and not take effect. EPA subsequently 
received adverse comment. EPA will address the comments received in a 
subsequent final action based upon the proposed action also published 
on October 10, 2001 (66 FR 51620). EPA will not institute a second 
comment period on this action.

EFFECTIVE DATE: The Direct final rule is withdrawn as of November 21, 
2001.
