Process for Exempting Critical Uses of 

Methyl Bromide for the 2005 

Supplemental Request 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Withdrawal of direct final rule. 

SUMMARY: Because EPA received 

adverse comments, we are withdrawing 

the direct final rule on the supplemental 

authorization of methyl bromide for 

critical uses in 2005, published in the 

Federal Register on August 30, 2005 (70 

FR 51270). We stated in the direct final 

rule that if we received adverse 

comment by September 29, 2005, we 

would publish a timely withdrawal in 

the Federal Register. We received 

adverse comment on the direct final 

rule. We will address those comments 

in a subsequent final action based on 

the parallel proposal also published on 

August 30, 2005 (70 FR 51317). As 

stated in the parallel proposal, we will 

not institute a second comment period 

on this action. 

DATES: As of October 18, 2005, EPA 

withdraws the direct final rule 

published at 70 FR 51270, on August 30, 

2005.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On August 

30, 2005, we published a direct final 

rule (70 FR 51270) and parallel proposal 

(70 FR 51317) supplementing the 

critical stock allowances (CSAs) 

previously allocated for 2005, as 

published in the Federal Register on 

December 23, 2004 (69 FR 76982), and 

amending the list of approved critical 

uses. EPA exempted methyl bromide for 

critical uses beyond the phaseout under 

the authority of the Clean Air Act and 

in accordance with the Montreal 

Protocol on Substances that Deplete the 

Ozone Layer. The preamble to the direct 

final rule stated that if we received 

adverse comment by September 29, 

2005, we would publish a timely notice 

of withdrawal in the Federal Register. 

EPA received adverse comment on the 

direct final rule. Accordingly, we are 

withdrawing the direct final rule as of 

October 18, 2005. EPA will take final 

action on the parallel proposal after 

considering the comments received. As 

stated in the parallel proposal, EPA will 

not institute a second comment period 

on this action.
