Due to an adverse comment, EPA is withdrawing the direct final rule to approve the Vehicle Miles Traveled Offset State Implementation Plan for the Houston/Galveston Ozone Nonattainment area. In the direct final rule published on July 10, 2001 (66 FR 35903), we stated that if we received adverse comment by August 9, 2001, the rule would be withdrawn and not take effect. EPA subsequently received an adverse comment. EPA will address the comment received in a subsequent final action based upon the proposed action also published on July 10, 2001 (66 FR 35920). EPA will not institute a second comment period on this action.
