    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.
