SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is withdrawing a 
direct final rule published on September 20, 2019 because relevant 
adverse comments were received. The rule pertained to EPA approval of a 
revision to the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) 
portion of the California State Implementation Plan (SIP). EPA will 
take a final action on the proposed action in a separate subsequent 
final rulemaking.

DATES: Effective November 14, 2019, the EPA withdraws the direct final 
rule published at 84 FR 49465, on September 20, 2019.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Throughout this document, ``we,'' ``us,'' 
and ``our'' refer to the EPA. On September 20, 2019 we published a 
direct final rule to approve a revision to the SCAQMD portion of the 
California SIP. Specifically, the revision pertains to SCAQMD Rule 1325 
``Federal PM2.5 New Source Review Program.'' The direct 
final rule was published without prior proposal because we anticipated 
no adverse comments. We stated in the direct final rule that if we 
received relevant adverse comments by October 21, 2019, we would 
publish a timely withdrawal in the Federal Register. We received a 
relevant adverse comment and accordingly are withdrawing the direct 
final rule. In a separate subsequent final rulemaking, we will address 
the comments received.
