SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Because EPA received adverse comment, we are 
withdrawing the direct final rule for Adequacy of Nebraska Municipal 
Solid Waste Landfill Program published on November 16, 2006 (71 FR 
66686). We stated in that direct final rule that if we received adverse 
comment by January 16, 2007, the direct final rule would not take 
effect and we would publish a timely withdrawal in the Federal 
Register. On December 8, 2006, the Federal Register published a 
correction notice (71 FR 71241) establishing December 18, 2006, as the 
date by which EPA would receive comment. We subsequently received an 
adverse comment on that direct final rule. We will address that comment 
in a subsequent final action. As stated in the direct final rule and 
the parallel proposed rule, we will not institute a second comment 
period in this action.
