-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: Because the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
received adverse comment, it is withdrawing the direct final rule
entitled, ``Effluent Limitations Guidelines and Standards for the Steam
Electric Power Generating Point Source Category--Initial Notification
Date Extension,'' published in the Federal Register on October 2, 2025.
DATES: Effective November 28, 2025, the EPA withdraws the direct final

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Because the EPA received adverse comment,
the Agency is withdrawing the direct final rule entitled, ``Effluent
Limitations Guidelines and Standards for the Steam Electric Power
Generating Point Source Category--Initial Notification Date
Extension,'' published on October 2, 2025 (90 FR 47617). The EPA stated
in that direct final rule that if it received adverse comment by
November 3, 2025, the direct final rule would not take effect, and the
EPA would publish a timely withdrawal in the Federal Register. Because
the EPA subsequently received adverse comment on that direct final
rule, it is withdrawing the direct final rule.
The EPA published a companion proposed rule on the same day as the
direct final rule (90 FR 47693). The proposed rule invited comment on
the substance of the direct final rule (as well as on additional
subjects). The EPA will address those comments in a subsequent final
action, which will be based on the companion proposed rule. As stated
in the direct final rule and the companion proposed rule, the EPA will
not institute a second comment period on this subject.
List of Subjects in 40 CFR Part 423
Environmental protection, Electric power generation, Power
facilities, Waste treatment and disposal, Water pollution control.
