[PA-147/177-4126a; FRL-7060-2]
Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans;
Pennsylvania; NOX RACT Determinations for Four 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 approving revisions which establish
reasonably available control technology (RACT) requirements for four
major sources of oxides of nitrogen (NOX) located in the
Pittsburgh-Beaver Valley ozone nonattainment area. In the direct final
rule published on August 15, 2001 (66 FR 42756), EPA stated that if it
received adverse comment by September 14, 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withdrawn and not take effect.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 15, 2001 (66 FR
42831). EPA will not institute a second comment period on this action.
DATES: The direct final rule is withdrawn as of September 26, 2001.
