the errors as discussed below.
In FR Doc. 2016–25506, appearing on

following corrections:
1. On page 72697, in the table entitled

Description is corrected to read ‘‘Filing
a Request for an Extension of Time to

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Need for Correction: As published,
the regulatory and explanatory text in
the final rule implementing changes to
trademark fees (81 FR 72694; October
21, 2016) are correct. However, certain
tables included in the preamble contain
minor errors. In the tables entitled ‘‘Fees
for Paper Filings’’ and ‘‘New Fees for
Extensions of Time at the TTAB,’’ the
descriptions for certain fees listed were
mistakenly transposed. In the table
entitled ‘‘Other Trademark-Processing
Fees [Extension of time to file a
statement of use],’’ a CFR citation
contained a typographical error. Good
cause exists to issue this rule without
prior notice and opportunity for
comment as the corrections are nonsubstantive and are being implemented
to avoid inconsistencies and any
confusion that may occur when

Rescission of Preconstruction Permits
Issued Under the Clean Air Act
ehiers on DSK5VPTVN1PROD with RULES
11:32 Nov 04, 2016
Jkt 241001
Regulated entities. The Administrator
determined that this action is subject to
the provisions of Clean Air Act (CAA or
Act) section 307(d). CAA section
307(d)(1)(V) (the provisions of CAA
section 307(d) apply to ‘‘such other
actions as the Administrator may
determine’’). These are amendments to
existing regulations and could affect any
facility that is eligible for a PSD permit
rescission for any such permit issued by
the EPA, reviewing authorities that
implement the EPA’s regulations
through delegation or reviewing
authorities that incorporate the federal
PSD regulations by reference.
A. Does this action apply to me?
The Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) is promulgating
amendments to the EPA’s federal
Prevention of Significant Deterioration
(PSD) regulations to remove a date
restriction from the Permit Rescission
provision. Other than removing the date
restriction, this final rule does not alter
the criteria under which a new source
review (NSR) permit may be rescinded.
This final rule also clarifies that a
rescission of a permit is not automatic
and corrects an outdated cross-reference
to another part of the PSD regulations.
The EPA is also adding a corresponding
Permit Rescission provision in the
federal regulations that apply to major
sources in nonattainment areas of
Indian country.
DATES: This final rule is effective on
December 7, 2016.
ADDRESSES: The EPA has established a
docket for this action under Docket ID
No. EPA–HQ–OAR–2015–0782. All
documents in the docket are listed on
the https://www.regulations.gov Web
site. Although listed in the index, some
information is not publicly available,
i.e., confidential business information or
other information whose disclosure is
restricted by statute. Certain other
material, such as copyrighted material,
will be publicly available only in hard
copy. Publicly available docket
materials are available electronically in

II. Background for Final Rulemaking
On June 14, 2016, the EPA proposed
revisions to the Permit Rescission
provision in the EPA’s federal PSD
regulations at 40 CFR 52.21(w). The
proposed revisions remove a date
restriction from this provision, clarify
that a rescission of a permit is
contingent on the reviewing authority’s
concurrence with a rescission
applicant’s demonstration that the PSD
permit provisions ‘‘would not apply to
the source or modification,’’ and correct
an outdated cross-reference to another
part of the PSD regulations. The EPA
also proposed to add a corresponding
Permit Rescission provision in the
federal regulations that apply to major
sources in nonattainment areas of
Indian country.
The preamble to the proposal
provided an overview of the NSR
permitting program and a brief history
of the previous revisions to the Permit
Rescission provision regulations. The
preamble also explained the EPA’s basis
for the proposed changes and rationale.
Because the EPA is finalizing this rule
as it was proposed, this final rulemaking
notice does not repeat that discussion.
The 30-day public comment period
for the proposed rule closed on July 14,
2016. In Section III of this document, we
summarize and respond to the
comments received and explain the

SUMMARY: This document contains corrections to tables included in the
preamble of the final rule implementing changes to trademark fees
published in the Federal Register of Friday, October 21, 2016.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Need for Correction: As published, the regulatory and explanatory
text in the final rule implementing changes to trademark fees (81 FR
72694; October 21, 2016) are correct. However, certain tables included
in the preamble contain minor errors. In the tables entitled ``Fees for
Paper Filings'' and ``New Fees for Extensions of Time at the TTAB,''
the descriptions for certain fees listed were mistakenly transposed. In
the table entitled ``Other Trademark-Processing Fees [Extension of time
to file a statement of use],'' a CFR citation contained a typographical
error. Good cause exists to issue this rule without prior notice and
opportunity for comment as the corrections are non-substantive and are
being implemented to avoid inconsistencies and any confusion that may
occur when comparing the items in the tables with the regulatory text.
The USPTO corrects the errors as discussed below.
In FR Doc. 2016-25506, appearing on page 72694 in the Federal
Register of Friday, October 21, 2016, make the following corrections:
1. On page 72697, in the table entitled ``Fees for Paper Filings,''

b. In the entry for 2.6(a)(23)(i), the Description is corrected to
read ``Filing a Request for an Extension of Time to File a Notice of
Opposition under Sec. 2.102(c)(3) on Paper.''
