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.
