Standards of Performance for Stationary Compression Ignition 
Internal Combustion Engines; Withdrawal of Direct Final Rule

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Withdrawal of direct final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: Because the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) 
received adverse comment, we are withdrawing the direct final rule 
amending the Standards of Performance for Stationary Compression 
Ignition Internal Combustion Engines published on July 5, 2019.

DATES: The direct final rule published on July 5, 2019 (84 FR 32084), 
is withdrawn effective September 20, 2019.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For questions about this action,

Protection Agency, Research Triangle Park, North Carolina 27711;

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On July 5, 2019, the EPA published a direct 
final rule (84 FR 32084) and a parallel proposal (84 FR 32114) to amend 
the Standards of Performance for Stationary Compression Ignition 
Internal Combustion Engines to revise the emission standards for 
particulate matter for new stationary compression ignition engines 
located in remote areas of Alaska. We stated in that direct final rule 
that if we received adverse comment by August 5, 2019, 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 and are withdrawing it. We will address those 
comments in any subsequent final action, which will be based on the 
parallel proposed rule also published on July 5, 2019. As stated in the 
direct final rule and parallel proposed rule, we will not institute a 
second comment period on this action.
