Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans; 
Pennsylvania; VOC and NOX RACT Determinations for Twenty-Six 
Individual Sources; Partial Withdrawal of Proposed Rule for Three 
Sources

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Partial withdrawal of proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: On April 18, 2000, EPA published a proposed rule (65 FR 20788) 
to approve reasonably available control technology (RACT) 
determinations submitted by the Pennsylvania Department of 
Environmental Protection (DEP) for twenty-six major sources of nitrogen 
oxides (NOX) and/or volatile organic compounds (VOC). In 
separate final rules, EPA has already approved the RACT determinations 
for ten of the twenty-six sources covered by the April 18, 2000 
proposed rule. In the rules portion of today's Federal Register, EPA is 
approving the RACT determinations for an additional thirteen of twenty-
six sources covered by the April 18, 2000 proposed rule. EPA is hereby 
withdrawing its April 18, 2000 proposed rule with regard to the 
remaining three sources. The April 18, 2000 (65 FR 20788) proposed rule 
is being withdrawn with regard to Doverspike Brothers Coal Co., 
Hedstrom Corporation, and the thermal coal dryers at EME Homer City, 
LP. These three formerly RACT-subject sources have been permanently 
shut down and the Pennsylvania DEP has indicated to EPA that no RACT 
need be approved for them.

DATES: Effective Date: The proposed rule for Doverspike Brothers Coal 
Co., Hedstrom Corporation, and the thermal coal dryers at EME Homer 
City published at 65 FR 20788 is withdrawn as of March 8, 2006.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: See the information provided in the proposed 
rule located in the Proposed Rules section of the April 18, 2000 
Federal Register (65 FR 20788). EPA is withdrawing the proposed rule 
for only three sources, namely, Doverspike Brothers Coal Co., Hedstrom 
Corporation and the thermal coal dryers at EME Homer City, LP. These 
formerly RACT-subject sources have been permanently shut down and the 
Pennsylvania DEP has indicated to EPA that no RACT need be approved for 
them. The other actions in the April 18, 2000 Federal Register are not 
affected.
