Clarification of Requirements for Method 303 Certification Training, 
published on February 25, 2016.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Because the EPA received adverse comment, we 
are withdrawing the direct final rule for Clarification of Requirements 
for Method 303 Certification Training, published on February 25, 2016 
(81 FR 9350). We stated in that direct final rule that if we received 
adverse comment by March 28, 2016, the direct final rule would not take 
effect and we would publish a timely withdrawal in the Federal 
Register. We subsequently received adverse comment on that direct final 
rule. We will address those comments in any subsequent final action, 
which will be based on the parallel proposed rule also published on 
February 25, 2016 (81 FR 9407). As stated in the direct final rule and 
the parallel proposed rule, we will not institute a second comment 
period on this action.

    Dated: April 14, 2016.
Janet G. McCabe,
Acting Assistant Administrator.
