SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: EPA is withdrawing the April 30, 2014 (79 FR 
24337), direct final rule approving a revision to the Wisconsin 
nitrogen oxide combustion turbine rule for the Milwaukee-Racine former 
nonattainment area. In the direct final rule, EPA stated that if 
adverse comments were received by May 30, 2014, the rule would be 
withdrawn and not take effect. On May 30, 2014, EPA received a comment, 
which it interprets as adverse and, therefore, EPA is withdrawing the 
direct final rule. EPA will address the comment in a subsequent final
