Individual Sources; Partial Withdrawal of Proposed Rule for Three

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is being withdrawn with regard to Doverspike Brothers Coal Co.,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City published at 65 FR 20788 is withdrawn as of March 8, 2006.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.
