In the direct final rule, EPA stated that if adverse comments were submitted by March 23, 2020, the rule would be withdrawn and not take effect. On March 23, 2020, EPA received adverse comments, and, therefore, is withdrawing the direct final rule. EPA will address the comments in a subsequent final action based upon the proposed action also published on February 21, 2020 (85 FR 10127). EPA will not institute a second comment period on this action.
