[PA-4121a; FRL-7059-5 ]

Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans; Pennsylvania; NO X RACT Determinations for the Latrobe Steel Company 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 to establish reasonably available control technology (RACT) requirements for the Latrobe Steel Company, a major source of nitrogen oxides (NO X ) located in the Pittsburgh-Beaver Valley ozone nonattainment area. In the direct final rule published on August 10, 2001 (66 FR 42123), EPA stated that if it received adverse comment by September 10, 2001, the rule would be withdrawn and not take effect.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 10, 2001 (66 FR 42172). EPA will not institute a second comment period on this action.

EFFECTIVE DATE:

The direct final rule is withdrawn as of September 20, 2001.
