SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Throughout this document, ``we,'' ``us'' and 
``our'' refer to the EPA.
    Because the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) received a public 
comment that we intend to address, we are withdrawing the direct final 
rule for Delegation of New Source Performance Standards and National 
Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for the States of 
Arizona and California published on March 31, 2022 (87 FR 18705). We 
stated in that direct final rule that if we received adverse comment by 
May 2, 2022, the direct final rule would not take effect and we would 
publish a timely withdrawal in the Federal Register. We subsequently 
received one comment on that direct final rule that we intend to 
address. We will address this comment in a subsequent final action, 
which will be based on the parallel proposed rule also published on 
March 31, 2022 (87 FR 18760). As stated in the direct final rule and 
the parallel proposed rule, we will not institute a second comment 
period on this action.
