SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Illinois Environmental Protection Agency 
submitted this revision as a modification to the SIP for gasoline vapor

adverse comments were submitted by November 17, 2014, the rule would be 
withdrawn and not take effect. On October 20, 2014, EPA received an 
adverse comment and, therefore, is withdrawing the direct final rule.
