The EPA believes that this action is 

not likely to change existing 

disproportionate and adverse effects on 

communities with environmental justice 

concerns. This action only removes 

from the Code of Federal Regulations 

already vacated provisions and is not 

likely to result in new disproportionate 

and adverse effects on communities 

with environmental justice concerns. 

K. Congressional Review Act (CRA) 

This action is subject to the CRA, and 

the EPA will submit a rule report to 

each House of the Congress and to the 

Comptroller General of the United 

States. This action is not a ‘‘major rule’’ 

as defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The EPA 

is withdrawing the direct final action, 

North Carolina: Final Authorization of 

State Hazardous Waste Management 

Program Revisions, published on July 

15, 2024, at 89 FR 57364, which 

intended to grant authorization for

waste program. The EPA stated in the 

direct final action that if the EPA

period, the EPA would publish a timely 

notice of withdrawal in the Federal 

Register. Because the EPA did receive 

adverse comments, the EPA is 

withdrawing the direct final action. The 

EPA will address all comments and 

make a final authorization decision in a 

subsequent final action based on the 

proposed rule, also published on July 

15, 2024, at 89 FR 57381. The EPA will 

not provide for additional public 

comment on the final action.
