Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 186 / Wednesday, September 25, 2019 / Rules and Regulations
Congress and to the Comptroller General
of the United States. EPA will submit a
report containing this action and other
required information to the U.S. Senate,
the U.S. House of Representatives, and
the Comptroller General of the United
States prior to publication of the rule in
the Federal Register. A major rule
cannot take effect until 60 days after it
is published in the Federal Register.
This action is not a ‘‘major rule’’ as
defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2).
Under section 307(b)(1) of the Clean
Air Act, petitions for judicial review of
this action must be filed in the United
States Court of Appeals for the
appropriate circuit by November 25,
2019. Filing a petition for
reconsideration by the Administrator of
this final rule does not affect the finality
of this action for the purposes of judicial
review nor does it extend the time
within which a petition for judicial
review may be filed, and shall not
postpone the effectiveness of such rule
or action. This action may not be
challenged later in proceedings to
enforce its requirements. (See section
307(b)(2).)

Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Withdrawal of direct final rule.
AGENCY:
Due to the receipt of an
adverse comment, the Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) is withdrawing
the July 31, 2019 direct final rule
approving updates and revisions to the
Wisconsin Title V Operating Permit
Program. The revisions were submitted
to update the title V program for the first
time since the final approval of the
program in 2001 and to change the
permit fee schedule for subject facilities.
The revisions consist of amendments to
Chapter Natural Resources (NR) 407
Wisconsin Administrative Code,
operation permits, Chapter NR 410
Wisconsin Administrative Code, permit
fees, and Wisconsin statute 285.69, fee
structure.
DATES: The direct final rule published at
84 FR 37104 on July 31, 2019, is
withdrawn effective September 25,
2019.

2. In § 52.2270, the table in paragraph
(c) is amended by removing the entry for
‘‘Section 114.86’’ under ‘‘Chapter 114
(Reg 4)—Control of Air Pollution from
Motor Vehicles.’’
In the
direct final rule, EPA stated that if
adverse comments were submitted by
August 30, 2019, the rule would be
withdrawn and not take effect. EPA
received an adverse comment prior to
the close of the comment period and,
therefore, is withdrawing the direct final
rule. EPA will address the comment in
a subsequent final action based upon
the proposed action also published on
July 31, 2019 (84 FR 37194). EPA will
not institute a second comment period
on this action.

Deletion of the Novak Sanitary Landfill
Superfund Site
Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:
The Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) Region 3 announces the
partial deletion of the Novak Sanitary
Landfill Superfund Site (Site) located in
South Whitehall Township,
Pennsylvania, from the National
Priorities List (NPL). The NPL,
promulgated pursuant to section 105 of
the Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation, and Liability
Act (CERCLA) of 1980, as amended, is
an appendix of the National Oil and
Hazardous Substances Pollution
Contingency Plan (NCP). The EPA and
the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania,
through the Pennsylvania Department of
Environmental Protection (PADEP),
have determined that all appropriate
response actions to address the
groundwater portion of the Site, other
than monitoring, operations and
maintenance, and Five-Year Reviews
(FYRs), have been completed. However,
this deletion does not preclude future
actions under Superfund. This partial
deletion pertains only to the
groundwater portion of the Site. The
landfill and landfill gas components of
the Site will remain on the NPL and are
not being considered for deletion as part
of this action.
DATES: This action is effective
September 25, 2019.

The
potion of the site to be deleted from the
NPL is the groundwater of the Novak
Sanitary Landfill Superfund Site, South
Whitehall Township, Lehigh County,
Pennsylvania. A Notice of Intent for
Partial Deletion for this Site was
published in the Federal Register (84
FR 38905) on August 8, 2019.
The closing date for comments on the
Notice of Intent for Partial Deletion was
September 9, 2019. No public comments
were received.
EPA maintains the NPL as the list of
sites that appear to present a significant
risk to public health, welfare, or the
environment. Deletion from the NPL
does not preclude further remedial
action. Whenever there is a significant
release from a site deleted from the NPL,
the deleted site may be restored to the
NPL without application of the hazard
ranking system. Deletion of a site from
the NPL does not affect responsible
party liability in the unlikely event that
future conditions warrant further
actions.
