Revision of December 2000 Regulatory
Finding on the Emissions of
Hazardous Air Pollutants From Electric
Utility Steam Generating Units and the
Removal of Coal- and Oil-Fired Electric
Utility Steam Generating Units From
the Section 112(c) List
Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Final rule; correction.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: This action corrects and
clarifies certain text of the final rule
entitled ‘‘Revision of December 2000
Regulatory Finding on the Emissions of
Hazardous Air Pollutants from Electric
VerDate jul<14>2003
16:06 Jun 06, 2005
Jkt 205001
Utility Steam Generating Units and the
Removal of Coal- and Oil-Fired Electric
Utility Steam Generating Units From the
Section 112(c) List.’’ The final rule was
published in the Federal Register on
March 29, 2005 (70 FR 15994) and
contains two discrete regulatory actions:
The reversal of the December 2000
finding based on EPA’s conclusion that
it is neither appropriate nor necessary to
regulate coal- and oil-fired electric
utility steam generating units (Utility
Units) under section 112 of the Clean
Air Act (CAA); and the removal of coaland oil-fired Utility Units from the CAA
section 112(c) list.
This document corrects certain
explanatory text in the final rule
published at 70 FR 15993. These
corrections do not affect the substance
of the two above-noted regulatory
actions, nor do they change the rights or
obligations of any party. Rather, this
notice merely corrects certain
explanatory text in support of EPA’s
actions. Thus, it is proper to issue this
notice of final rule corrections without
notice and comment. Section 553 of the
Administrative Procedure Act (APA), 5
U.S.C. 553(b)(B), provides that, when an
agency for good cause finds that notice
and public procedure are impracticable,
unnecessary, or contrary to the public
PO 00000
Frm 00024
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
interest, the agency may issue a rule
without providing notice and an
opportunity for public comment. We
have determined that there is good
cause for making today’s action final
without prior proposal and opportunity
for comment because the changes to the
rule are minor technical corrections, are
noncontroversial, and do not
substantively change the agency actions
taken in the final rule. Thus, notice and
public procedure are unnecessary. We
find that this constitutes good cause
under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B).
DATES: Effective Date: June 7, 2005.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
On March 15, 2005 (70 FR 15994),
EPA issued a final rule in which EPA
revised the regulatory finding issued on
December 15, 2000, pursuant to CAA
section 112(n)(1)(A), and concluded that
it is neither appropriate nor necessary to
regulate coal- and oil-fired Utility Units
under CAA section 112. Based on this
E:\FR\FM\07JNR1.SGM
07JNR1
Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 108 / Tuesday, June 7, 2005 / Rules and Regulations
revised finding, EPA removed coal- and
oil-fired Utility Units from the CAA
section 112(c) list.
II. Correction to Regulatory Finding
Final Rule (70 FR 15994–16035)
This notice corrects certain
explanatory text, which is the text in the
final rule that supports the two abovenoted regulatory actions. The
corrections can be categorized generally
as follows: (a) Insertion of citations
inadvertently omitted from the text; (b)
correction of typographical errors; (c)
clarification of confusing explanatory
text; and (d) correction of incorrect
factual statements.
Below, we identify each technical
correction to the explanatory text at 70
FR 15994–16035 and provide a brief
explanation for the corrections.
Specifically, 70 FR 15994–16035 is
corrected, as follows:
(1) On page 16012, column 1, in the
second full paragraph, after the second
sentence, add the following citation: See
Centers for Disease Control, Blood
Mercury Levels in Young Children and
Childbearing-Aged Women—United
States, 1999–2002, MMWR Morb Mortal
Wkly Rep. 2004 Nov 5; 53(43):1018–
1020. https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/
preview/mmwrhtml/mm5343a5.htm.
We are adding the above citation
because the explanatory text on page
16012 of the final rule summarizes the
Center for Disease Control report, but
inadvertently fails to include the
citation to that report.
(2) On page 16024, column 3, in the
second full paragraph, after the second
sentence, add the following: https://
www.epa.gov/ttn/atw/nata/
gloss1.html#hazardquotient.
This revision adds an inadvertently
omitted citation for the text quoted in
the noted paragraph.
(3) On page 16012, column 1, in the
second full paragraph, change the fourth
sentence to read as follows:
‘‘The analysis of the first 1,500 of
these women, which was based on
1999–2000 data, showed that Hg blood
levels were higher in the women who
reported eating three or more servings of
fish in the month before they were
tested.’’
We are revising this sentence because
the original sentence in the preamble is
confusing as to the number of women
studied and the years of data examined
in the study. This revision clarifies that
the analysis of 1,500 women concerned
only the first part of a larger study of
3,600 women and was based on 1999–
2000 data.
(4) On page 16024, column 1, in the
first full paragraph, in the second
sentence, insert the phrase ‘‘having
VerDate jul<14>2003
16:06 Jun 06, 2005
Jkt 205001
utility-attributable exposures’’ before
the word ‘‘exceeding.’’
This clarification is necessary to make
clear that the statement is limited to
utility-attributable mercury exposures.
As noted throughout the March 29, 2005
final rule, EPA’s analysis pursuant to
CAA section 112(n)(1)(A) focused on
utility-attributable mercury exposures.
(See 70 FR 15998, 16022.)
(5) On page 16024, column 3, in the
last paragraph that begins on that page,
in the second sentence, add the phrase
‘‘to utility-attributable methylmercury’’
before the word ‘‘above.’’
This clarification is necessary to make
clear that the statement is limited to
utility-attributable mercury exposures.
See explanation provided in item 4
above.
(6) At the following locations, delete
the word ‘‘anglers’’ or ‘‘angler’’ and
insert in lieu thereof ‘‘fishers’’ or
‘‘fisher’’ respectively:
(i) On page 16012, column 1, in the
last paragraph, in the first sentence;
(ii) On page 16022, column 1, in the
first full paragraph, in the last sentence;
(iii) On page 16023, column 3, in the
second full paragraph, in both places;
(iv) On page 16024, column 1, in the
carryover paragraph from page 16023, in
the second full sentence;
(v) On page 16024, in the first full
paragraph, in all three places that it
appears;
(vi) On page 16024, column 2, in the
first full paragraph, in the last sentence;
(vii) On page 16024, column 2, in the
second full paragraph, in the first
sentence; and
(viii) On page 16024, column 3, in the
last paragraph that begins on that page,
in the second sentence.
The term ‘‘fishers’’ is appropriate
because it includes anglers, who are
individuals who catch fish with a pole
or rod, as well as persons who catch fish
in other ways. Our conclusions in the
final rule were based on information
concerning fishers, not anglers; thus, all
references to ‘‘anglers’’ or ‘‘angler’’
should be to ‘‘fishers’’ or ‘‘fisher,’’
respectively.
(7) On page 16022, column 3, in the
carryover paragraph from column 2,
delete the number ‘‘292.8’’ and insert in
lieu thereof the number ‘‘394.’’
The sentence at issue here
summarizes a study by the Great Lakes
Indian Fish and Wildlife Commission.
The sentence incorrectly summarizes
one of the figures cited in that study.
The above-noted change rectifies this
inadvertent error and correctly reflects
the number in the study.
(8) On page 16023, column 3, in the
carryover paragraph from column 2, in
the first full sentence, delete the word
PO 00000
Frm 00025
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
33001
‘‘commercial’’ and insert in lieu thereof
‘‘marine.’’
This revision corrects the erroneous
use in this sentence of the term
‘‘commercial’—which refers to
purchased marine, freshwater, and
estuarine fish—by replacing it with the
term ‘‘marine,’’ which refers to ocean
fish, whether commercially obtained or
self-caught. The water quality criterion
discussed in this paragraph was based
on possible exposure to methylmercury
through the consumption of marine, not
commercial, fish, as described in more
detail on page 16014, column 3, in the
second full paragraph.
(9) On page 16023, column 3, in the
second full paragraph, in the second
sentence, insert the phrase ‘‘at or’’
before the word ‘‘below’’ in both places.
This revision corrects an arithmetic
error.
(10) On page 16024, column 2, in the
second full paragraph, in the second
sentence, delete the number ‘‘293’’ and
insert in lieu thereof the number ‘‘394.’’
This revision corrects an error in the
summary of the public comments to
accurately reflect the data provided by
the commenters.
(11) On page 15999, footnote 14, in
the second sentence, insert the word
‘‘not’’ before the word ‘‘adequate’’ The
corrected sentence should read:
‘‘Section 112(m)(6) also requires EPA to
promulgate additional regulations
setting emission standards or control
requirements, ‘‘in accordance with’’
section 112 and under the authority of
section 112(m)(6), if EPA determines
that the other provisions of section 112
are not adequate, and such regulations
are appropriate and necessary to prevent
serious adverse public health and
environmental effects.’’
This change corrects a typographical
error. The word ‘‘not’’ was inadvertently
omitted from the sentence and without
that term, the sentence improperly
summarizes CAA section 112(m)(6),
which requires EPA to first determine if
the other provisions of CAA section 112
are ‘‘adequate to prevent serious adverse
effects to public health and serious or
widespread environmental effects,’’ and
then make an assessment based on that
determination whether additional
standards or control requirements are
‘‘necessary and appropriate.’’ (42 U.S.C.
7412(m)(6).’’
(12) On page 16009, renumber
sections ‘‘3.’’ and ‘‘4.’’ as sections ‘‘2.’’
and ‘‘3.,’’ respectively.
This revision corrects a typographical
error, as the sections were improperly
numbered.
(13) On page 16010, renumber section
‘‘C.’’ as section ‘‘B.’’

(14) On page 16021, renumber section
‘‘5.’’ as section ‘‘3.’’
See explanation provided in item 12,
above.
(15) On page 16024, column 2, last
paragraph, first sentence, delete the
reference ‘‘VII.B.,’’ and insert in lieu
thereof the reference ‘‘VI.B.’’
This correction accurately cites the
appropriate cross-reference.
(16) On page 16026, column 2, first
full paragraph, delete the references
‘‘VII.D.’’ and ‘‘VII.E.,’’ and insert in lieu
thereof the references ‘‘VI.D.’’ and
‘‘VI.E.,’’ respectively.
See explanation provided in item 15,
above.
(17) On page 16027, column 3, first
full paragraph, delete the reference
‘‘VII.E.,’’ and insert in lieu thereof the
reference ‘‘VI.E.’’
See explanation provided in item 15,
above.
III. Statutory and Executive Order
Reviews
Under Executive Order 12866,
Regulatory Planning and Review (58 FR
51735, October 4, 1993), this action is
not a ‘‘significant regulatory action’’ and
is therefore not subject to review by the
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB). This action is not a ‘‘major rule’’
as defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2). The
technical corrections do not impose an
information collection burden under the
provisions of the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.).
Because EPA has made a ‘‘good
cause’’ finding that this action is not
subject to notice and comment
requirements under the APA or any
other statute, it is not subject to the
regulatory flexibility provisions of the
Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601
et seq.), or to sections 202 and 205 of the
Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995
(UMRA) (Public Law 104–4). In
addition, this action does not
significantly or uniquely affect small
governments or impose a significant
intergovernmental mandate, as
described in sections 203 and 204 of the
UMRA.
The corrections do not have
substantial direct effects on the States,
or on the relationship between the
national government and the States, or
on the distribution of power and
responsibilities among the various
levels of government, as specified in
Executive Order 13132, Federalism (64
FR 43255, August 10, 1999).
Today’s action also does not
significantly or uniquely affect the
communities of tribal governments, as
specified by Executive Order 13175,
VerDate jul<14>2003
16:06 Jun 06, 2005
Jkt 205001
Consultation and Coordination with
Indian Tribal Governments (65 FR
67249, November 9, 2000). The
technical corrections also are not subject
to Executive Order 13045, Protection of
Children from Environmental Health
and Safety Risks (62 FR 19885, April 23,
1997) because this action is not
economically significant.
The corrections are not subject to
Executive Order 13211, Actions
Concerning Regulations That
Significantly Affect Energy Supply,
Distribution, or Use (66 FR 28355, May
22, 2001) because this action is not a
significant regulatory action under
Executive Order 12866.
The corrections do not involve
changes to the technical standards
related to test methods or monitoring
methods; thus, the requirements of
section 12(d) of the National
Technology Transfer and Advancement
Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272) do not
apply.
The corrections also do not involve
special consideration of environmental
justice-related issues as required by
Executive Order 12898, Federal Actions
to Address Environmental Justice in
Minority Populations and Low-Income
Populations (59 FR 7629, February 16,
1994).
The Congressional Review Act, 5
U.S.C. 801 et seq., as added by the Small
Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996 (SBREFA),
generally provides that before a rule
may take effect, the agency
promulgating the rule must submit a
rule report, which includes a copy of
the rule, to each House of the Congress
and to the Comptroller General of the
U.S. The EPA will submit a report
containing this final action and other
required information to the U.S. Senate,
the U.S. House of Representatives, and
the Comptroller General of the U.S.
prior to publication of today’s action in
the Federal Register. Today’s action is
not a ‘‘major rule’’ as defined by 5
U.S.C. 804(2). The final rule will be
effective on June 7, 2005.
The EPA’s compliance with the above
statutes and Executive Orders for the
underlying rule is discussed in the
March 29, 2005 Federal Register notice
containing ‘‘EPA’s revision to the
December 2000 Regulatory Finding on
the Emissions of Hazardous Air
Pollutants from Electric Utility Steam
Generating Units and the Removal of
Coal- and Oil-Fired Electric Utility
Steam Generating Units From the
Section 112(c) List’’ (70 FR 15994).

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Final rule; correction.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This action corrects and clarifies certain text of the final
rule entitled ``Revision of December 2000 Regulatory Finding on the
Emissions of Hazardous Air Pollutants from Electric Utility Steam
Generating Units and the Removal of Coal- and Oil-Fired Electric
Utility Steam Generating Units From the Section 112(c) List.'' The
final rule was published in the Federal Register on March 29, 2005 (70
FR 15994) and contains two discrete regulatory actions: The reversal of
the December 2000 finding based on EPA's conclusion that it is neither
appropriate nor necessary to regulate coal- and oil-fired electric
utility steam generating units (Utility Units) under section 112 of the
Clean Air Act (CAA); and the removal of coal- and oil-fired Utility
Units from the CAA section 112(c) list.
This document corrects certain explanatory text in the final rule
published at 70 FR 15993. These corrections do not affect the substance
of the two above-noted regulatory actions, nor do they change the
rights or obligations of any party. Rather, this notice merely corrects
certain explanatory text in support of EPA's actions. Thus, it is
proper to issue this notice of final rule corrections without notice
and comment. Section 553 of the Administrative Procedure Act (APA), 5
U.S.C. 553(b)(B), provides that, when an agency for good cause finds
that notice and public procedure are impracticable, unnecessary, or
contrary to the public interest, the agency may issue a rule without
providing notice and an opportunity for public comment. We have
determined that there is good cause for making today's action final
without prior proposal and opportunity for comment because the changes
to the rule are minor technical corrections, are noncontroversial, and
do not substantively change the agency actions taken in the final rule.
Thus, notice and public procedure are unnecessary. We find that this
constitutes good cause under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
On March 15, 2005 (70 FR 15994), EPA issued a final rule in which
EPA revised the regulatory finding issued on December 15, 2000,
pursuant to CAA section 112(n)(1)(A), and concluded that it is neither
appropriate nor necessary to regulate coal- and oil-fired Utility Units
under CAA section 112. Based on this
[[Page 33001]]
revised finding, EPA removed coal- and oil-fired Utility Units from the
CAA section 112(c) list.
II. Correction to Regulatory Finding Final Rule (70 FR 15994-16035)
This notice corrects certain explanatory text, which is the text in
the final rule that supports the two above-noted regulatory actions.
The corrections can be categorized generally as follows: (a) Insertion
of citations inadvertently omitted from the text; (b) correction of
typographical errors; (c) clarification of confusing explanatory text;
and (d) correction of incorrect factual statements.
Below, we identify each technical correction to the explanatory
text at 70 FR 15994-16035 and provide a brief explanation for the
corrections. Specifically, 70 FR 15994-16035 is corrected, as follows:
(1) On page 16012, column 1, in the second full paragraph, after
the second sentence, add the following citation: See Centers for
Disease Control, Blood Mercury Levels in Young Children and
Childbearing-Aged Women--United States, 1999-2002, MMWR Morb Mortal
Wkly Rep. 2004 Nov 5; 53(43):1018-1020. https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/
preview/mmwrhtml/mm5343a5.htm.
We are adding the above citation because the explanatory text on
page 16012 of the final rule summarizes the Center for Disease Control
report, but inadvertently fails to include the citation to that report.
(2) On page 16024, column 3, in the second full paragraph, after
the second sentence, add the following: https://www.epa.gov/ttn/atw/
nata/gloss1.html#hazardquotient.
This revision adds an inadvertently omitted citation for the text
quoted in the noted paragraph.
(3) On page 16012, column 1, in the second full paragraph, change
the fourth sentence to read as follows:
``The analysis of the first 1,500 of these women, which was based
on 1999-2000 data, showed that Hg blood levels were higher in the women
who reported eating three or more servings of fish in the month before
they were tested.''
We are revising this sentence because the original sentence in the
preamble is confusing as to the number of women studied and the years
of data examined in the study. This revision clarifies that the
analysis of 1,500 women concerned only the first part of a larger study
of 3,600 women and was based on 1999-2000 data.
(4) On page 16024, column 1, in the first full paragraph, in the
second sentence, insert the phrase ``having utility-attributable
exposures'' before the word ``exceeding.''
This clarification is necessary to make clear that the statement is
limited to utility-attributable mercury exposures. As noted throughout
the March 29, 2005 final rule, EPA's analysis pursuant to CAA section
112(n)(1)(A) focused on utility-attributable mercury exposures. (See 70
FR 15998, 16022.)
(5) On page 16024, column 3, in the last paragraph that begins on
that page, in the second sentence, add the phrase ``to utility-
attributable methylmercury'' before the word ``above.''
This clarification is necessary to make clear that the statement is
limited to utility-attributable mercury exposures. See explanation
provided in item 4 above.
(6) At the following locations, delete the word ``anglers'' or
``angler'' and insert in lieu thereof ``fishers'' or ``fisher''
respectively:
(i) On page 16012, column 1, in the last paragraph, in the first
sentence;
(ii) On page 16022, column 1, in the first full paragraph, in the
last sentence;
(iii) On page 16023, column 3, in the second full paragraph, in
both places;
(iv) On page 16024, column 1, in the carryover paragraph from page
16023, in the second full sentence;
(v) On page 16024, in the first full paragraph, in all three places
that it appears;
(vi) On page 16024, column 2, in the first full paragraph, in the
last sentence;
(vii) On page 16024, column 2, in the second full paragraph, in the
first sentence; and
(viii) On page 16024, column 3, in the last paragraph that begins
on that page, in the second sentence.
The term ``fishers'' is appropriate because it includes anglers,
who are individuals who catch fish with a pole or rod, as well as
persons who catch fish in other ways. Our conclusions in the final rule
were based on information concerning fishers, not anglers; thus, all
references to ``anglers'' or ``angler'' should be to ``fishers'' or
``fisher,'' respectively.
(7) On page 16022, column 3, in the carryover paragraph from column
2, delete the number ``292.8'' and insert in lieu thereof the number
``394.''
The sentence at issue here summarizes a study by the Great Lakes
Indian Fish and Wildlife Commission. The sentence incorrectly
summarizes one of the figures cited in that study. The above-noted
change rectifies this inadvertent error and correctly reflects the
number in the study.
(8) On page 16023, column 3, in the carryover paragraph from column
2, in the first full sentence, delete the word ``commercial'' and
insert in lieu thereof ``marine.''
This revision corrects the erroneous use in this sentence of the
term ``commercial'--which refers to purchased marine, freshwater, and
estuarine fish--by replacing it with the term ``marine,'' which refers
to ocean fish, whether commercially obtained or self-caught. The water
quality criterion discussed in this paragraph was based on possible
exposure to methylmercury through the consumption of marine, not
commercial, fish, as described in more detail on page 16014, column 3,
in the second full paragraph.
(9) On page 16023, column 3, in the second full paragraph, in the
second sentence, insert the phrase ``at or'' before the word ``below''
in both places.
This revision corrects an arithmetic error.
(10) On page 16024, column 2, in the second full paragraph, in the
second sentence, delete the number ``293'' and insert in lieu thereof
the number ``394.''
This revision corrects an error in the summary of the public
comments to accurately reflect the data provided by the commenters.
(11) On page 15999, footnote 14, in the second sentence, insert the
word ``not'' before the word ``adequate'' The corrected sentence should
read: ``Section 112(m)(6) also requires EPA to promulgate additional
regulations setting emission standards or control requirements, ``in
accordance with'' section 112 and under the authority of section
112(m)(6), if EPA determines that the other provisions of section 112
are not adequate, and such regulations are appropriate and necessary to
prevent serious adverse public health and environmental effects.''
This change corrects a typographical error. The word ``not'' was
inadvertently omitted from the sentence and without that term, the
sentence improperly summarizes CAA section 112(m)(6), which requires
EPA to first determine if the other provisions of CAA section 112 are
``adequate to prevent serious adverse effects to public health and
serious or widespread environmental effects,'' and then make an
assessment based on that determination whether additional standards or
control requirements are ``necessary and appropriate.'' (42 U.S.C.
7412(m)(6).''
(12) On page 16009, renumber sections ``3.'' and ``4.'' as sections
``2.'' and ``3.,'' respectively.
This revision corrects a typographical error, as the sections were
improperly numbered.
(13) On page 16010, renumber section ``C.'' as section ``B.''
[[Page 33002]]
See explanation provided in item 12, above.
(14) On page 16021, renumber section ``5.'' as section ``3.''
See explanation provided in item 12, above.
(15) On page 16024, column 2, last paragraph, first sentence,
delete the reference ``VII.B.,'' and insert in lieu thereof the
reference ``VI.B.''
This correction accurately cites the appropriate cross-reference.
(16) On page 16026, column 2, first full paragraph, delete the
references ``VII.D.'' and ``VII.E.,'' and insert in lieu thereof the
references ``VI.D.'' and ``VI.E.,'' respectively.
See explanation provided in item 15, above.
(17) On page 16027, column 3, first full paragraph, delete the
reference ``VII.E.,'' and insert in lieu thereof the reference
``VI.E.''
See explanation provided in item 15, above.
III. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews
Under Executive Order 12866, Regulatory Planning and Review (58 FR
51735, October 4, 1993), this action is not a ``significant regulatory
action'' and is therefore not subject to review by the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB). This action is not a ``major rule'' as
defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2). The technical corrections do not impose an
information collection burden under the provisions of the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.).
Because EPA has made a ``good cause'' finding that this action is
not subject to notice and comment requirements under the APA or any
other statute, it is not subject to the regulatory flexibility
provisions of the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.), or
to sections 202 and 205 of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995
(UMRA) (Public Law 104-4). In addition, this action does not
significantly or uniquely affect small governments or impose a
significant intergovernmental mandate, as described in sections 203 and
204 of the UMRA.
The corrections do not have substantial direct effects on the
States, or on the relationship between the national government and the
States, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities among the
various levels of government, as specified in Executive Order 13132,
Federalism (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999).
Today's action also does not significantly or uniquely affect the
communities of tribal governments, as specified by Executive Order
13175, Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments (65
FR 67249, November 9, 2000). The technical corrections also are not
subject to Executive Order 13045, Protection of Children from
Environmental Health and Safety Risks (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997)
because this action is not economically significant.
The corrections are not subject to Executive Order 13211, Actions
Concerning Regulations That Significantly Affect Energy Supply,
Distribution, or Use (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001) because this action is
not a significant regulatory action under Executive Order 12866.
The corrections do not involve changes to the technical standards
related to test methods or monitoring methods; thus, the requirements
of section 12(d) of the National Technology Transfer and Advancement
Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272) do not apply.
The corrections also do not involve special consideration of
environmental justice-related issues as required by Executive Order
12898, Federal Actions to Address Environmental Justice in Minority
Populations and Low-Income Populations (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994).
The Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801 et seq., as added by the
Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996 (SBREFA),
generally provides that before a rule may take effect, the agency
promulgating the rule must submit a rule report, which includes a copy
of the rule, to each House of the Congress and to the Comptroller
General of the U.S. The EPA will submit a report containing this final
action and other required information to the U.S. Senate, the U.S.
House of Representatives, and the Comptroller General of the U.S. prior
to publication of today's action in the Federal Register. Today's
action is not a ``major rule'' as defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2). The final
rule will be effective on June 7, 2005.
The EPA's compliance with the above statutes and Executive Orders
for the underlying rule is discussed in the March 29, 2005 Federal
Register notice containing ``EPA's revision to the December 2000
Regulatory Finding on the Emissions of Hazardous Air Pollutants from
Electric Utility Steam Generating Units and the Removal of Coal- and
Oil-Fired Electric Utility Steam Generating Units From the Section
112(c) List'' (70 FR 15994).
Dated: June 1, 2005.
