direct final rule for State of Michigan Underground Injection Control 
(UIC) Class II Program; Primacy Approval, published on March 19, 2021. 
EPA stated in that direct final rule that if the agency received 
adverse comments by April 19, 2021, the direct final rule would not 
take effect and we would publish a timely withdrawal in the Federal 
Register. EPA subsequently received adverse comments on that direct 
final rule. EPA will address those comments in any subsequent final 
action, which will be based on the parallel proposed rule also 
published on March 19, 2021. As stated in the direct final rule and the 
parallel proposed rule, EPA will not institute a second comment period 
on this action.
