SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Due to the receipt of adverse comment, the
EPA is withdrawing the direct final rule titled ``Hazardous and Solid
Waste Management System: Disposal of Coal Combustion Residuals From
Electric Utilities; CCR Management Unit Deadline Extension Rule,''
which published on July 22, 2025 (90 FR 34358). We stated in that
direct final rule that if we received adverse comment by August 21,
2025, the direct final rule would not take effect and we would publish
a timely withdrawal in the Federal Register. Because the EPA
subsequently received adverse comment on that direct final rule, we are
withdrawing the direct final rule.
The EPA published a parallel proposed rule (90 FR 34409, July 22,
2025) on the same day as the direct final rule. The proposed rule
invited comment on the substance of the direct final rule.
Notwithstanding this action to withdraw the direct final rule, the EPA
will continue to accept comment on the parallel proposed rule through
September 15, 2025, which is the new deadline to submit comments. EPA
is also publishing in the ``Proposed Rules'' section of the Federal
Register a reopening of the comment period for the proposed rule until
September 15, 2025. Because the direct final rule has been withdrawn by
this action, any further comments must be submitted on the proposed
rule. The EPA will respond to comments received by September 15, 2025,
as part of any final action it takes on the parallel proposed rule.
