SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Because EPA received adverse comment, we are withdrawing the direct final rule approving revisions to the Idaho SIP relating to revisions to the Idaho crop residue burning fee billing procedures, published on September 3, 2019 (84 FR 45918). We stated in that direct final rule that if we received adverse comment by October 3, 2019, we would publish a timely withdrawal in the Federal Register and the direct final rule would not take effect. We subsequently received an adverse comment on that direct final rule prior to October 3, 2019. Accordingly, we are withdrawing the direct final rule. We will address the comment in a subsequent final action based upon the parallel proposed rule also published on September 3, 2019 (84 FR 45930). As stated in the direct final rule and the parallel proposed rule, we will not institute a second comment period on this action.
