Revisions to General Rules and Regulations for Control of Air Pollution 
by Permits for New Sources and Modifications; Withdrawal of Direct 
Final Rule

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Withdrawal of direct final rule.

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

SUMMARY: Due to receipt of adverse comments, EPA is withdrawing the 
direct final rule to approve revisions to Texas General Rules and 
Regulations for Control of Air Pollution by Permits for New Sources and 
Modifications. In the direct final rule published September 24, 2001 
(66 FR 48796), we stated that if we received adverse comment by October 
24, 2001, the direct final rule would be withdrawn and would not take 
effect. The EPA will address all public comments in a subsequent final 
rule based on the proposed rule also published on September 24, 2001 
(66 FR 48850). The EPA subsequently received adverse comments on the 
direct final rule from Public Citizen and from Lowerre & Kelly, 
Attorneys at Law.

DATES: The Direct final is withdrawn as of November 23, 2001.
