SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

On December 23, 2024, the EPA published a direct final rule (89 FR 104435). We stated in that direct final rule that if we received adverse comments during the comment period, the direct final rule would not take effect, and we would publish a timely withdrawal in the Federal Register .

The EPA is withdrawing the direct final rule “Utah: Final Authorization of State Hazardous Waste Management Program Revisions and Incorporation by Reference,” published on December 23, 2024, at 89 FR 104435, which intended to revise the codification of Utah's authorized hazardous waste program incorporated by reference at 40 CFR 272.2251. The EPA stated in the direct final rule that if the EPA received comments that opposed this action, the EPA would publish a timely notice of withdrawal in the Federal Register . Since the EPA did receive adverse comments, the EPA is withdrawing the direct final rule. The EPA will address all comments in a subsequent final rule based on the proposed rule previously published on December 23, 2024, at 89 FR 104486. The EPA will not provide for additional public comment during the final rule action.
