EPA published a document on February 24, 2005 (70 FR 8930) redesignating § 52.1220 as § 52.1222, when § 52.1222 already existed. The intent of the rule was to remove the then existing § 52.1222 titled ‘‘EPA-approved Minnesota State regulations’’ and then redesignate § 52.1220 as § 52.1222. This document corrects the erroneous amendatory language. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Correction In the final rule published in the Federal Register on February 24, 2005 (70 FR 8930), on page 8932 the amendatory instruction is corrected. Section 553 of the Administrative Procedure Act, 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 rule final without prior proposal and opportunity for comment because we are merely correcting an incorrect citation in a previous action. Thus, notice and public procedure are unnecessary. We find that this constitutes good cause under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B).

ACTION: Final rule; corrections. AGENCY: SUMMARY: This action corrects and clarifies certain text of the final rule entitled ‘‘Standards of Performance for New and Existing Stationary Sources: Electric Utility Steam Generating E:\FR\FM\30AUR1.SGM 30AUR1 Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 167 / Tuesday, August 30, 2005 / Rules and Regulations Units.’’ The final rule was published in the Federal Register on May 18, 2005 (70 FR 28606). This action corrects certain section designations set forth in the final rule at 70 FR 28652. In addition, this action corrects certain revisions set forth in the final rule at 70 FR 28678. These corrections do not affect the substance of the action, nor do they change the rights or obligations of any party. Rather, this action merely corrects certain section designations to eliminate duplication with other rules. Thus, it is proper to issue these 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 this 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). EFFECTIVE DATE: May 18, 2005. Mr. William Maxwell, Combustion Group, Emission Standards Division (C439–01), EPA, Research Triangle Park, North Carolina, 27711; telephone number (919) 541–5430; fax number (919) 541– 5450; electronic mail address: maxwell.bill@epa.gov. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. What Is the Background for the Corrections? On May 18, 2005 (70 FR 28606), EPA issued a final rule in which EPA promulgated new source performance standards for new coal-fired electric utility steam generating units and emission guidelines for existing coalfired electric utility steam generating units designed to limit mercury (Hg) emissions from such sources. EPA subsequently determined that certain sections of the final rule were not properly designated, i.e., the numbering was not correct, and that certain rule text was not properly identified as introductory text. This action corrects those technical errors. VerDate Aug<18>2005 15:13 Aug 29, 2005 Jkt 205001 II. What Are the Corrections to Final Rule (70 FR 28652, 27678)? This notice corrects the following errors. In inserting a section to 40 CFR part 60, subpart Da (e.g., 40 CFR 60.45a), to incorporate emission limitations for Hg, subsequent sections were renumbered. In so doing, we inadvertently assigned section numbers to 40 CFR part 60, subpart Da, that were already in use in 40 CFR part 60, subpart Ea. To correct this error, it is necessary to renumber all of the sections in 40 CFR part 60, subpart Da, and to correct the associated internal references in the same manner. Further, in revising 40 CFR 75.6, we inadvertently indicated that we were revising entire paragraphs, rather than just the introductory text. 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) (Pub. L. 104B4). 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 in 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 PO 00000 Frm 00027 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 51267 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. EPA will submit a report containing today’s 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 May 18, 2005. EPA’s compliance with the above statutes and EO for the underlying rule is discussed in the May 18, 2005 Federal Register notice containing ‘‘Standards of Performance for New and Existing Stationary Sources: Electric Utility Steam Generating Units’’ (70 FR 28606).

We will address all comments in a subsequent final rule based on the PO 00000 Frm 00029 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 51269 parallel proposal published on July 1, 2005. As stated in the parallel proposal, we will not institute a second comment period on this action. DATES: As of August 30, 2005, EPA withdraws the direct final rule amendments to 40 CFR 63.2485(c)(4) and Table 1 to subpart FFFF of part 63, published on July 1, 2005 (70 FR 38554). The remaining provisions published on July 1, 2005, will be effective on August 30, 2005. ADDRESSES: EPA has established a docket for this action under Docket ID No. OAR–2003–0121.

Standards of Performance for New and Existing Stationary Sources: 
Electric Utility Steam Generating Units

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Final rule; corrections.

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

SUMMARY: This action corrects and clarifies certain text of the final 
rule entitled ``Standards of Performance for New and Existing 
Stationary Sources: Electric Utility Steam Generating

[[Page 51267]]

Units.'' The final rule was published in the Federal Register on May 
18, 2005 (70 FR 28606).
    This action corrects certain section designations set forth in the 
final rule at 70 FR 28652. In addition, this action corrects certain 
revisions set forth in the final rule at 70 FR 28678. These corrections 
do not affect the substance of the action, nor do they change the 
rights or obligations of any party. Rather, this action merely corrects 
certain section designations to eliminate duplication with other rules. 
Thus, it is proper to issue these 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 this 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).

EFFECTIVE DATE: May 18, 2005.

Emission Standards Division (C439-01), EPA, Research Triangle Park,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. What Is the Background for the Corrections?

    On May 18, 2005 (70 FR 28606), EPA issued a final rule in which EPA 
promulgated new source performance standards for new coal-fired 
electric utility steam generating units and emission guidelines for 
existing coal-fired electric utility steam generating units designed to 
limit mercury (Hg) emissions from such sources. EPA subsequently 
determined that certain sections of the final rule were not properly 
designated, i.e., the numbering was not correct, and that certain rule 
text was not properly identified as introductory text. This action 
corrects those technical errors.

II. What Are the Corrections to Final Rule (70 FR 28652, 27678)?

    This notice corrects the following errors. In inserting a section 
to 40 CFR part 60, subpart Da (e.g., 40 CFR 60.45a), to incorporate 
emission limitations for Hg, subsequent sections were renumbered. In so 
doing, we inadvertently assigned section numbers to 40 CFR part 60, 
subpart Da, that were already in use in 40 CFR part 60, subpart Ea. To 
correct this error, it is necessary to renumber all of the sections in 
40 CFR part 60, subpart Da, and to correct the associated internal 
references in the same manner. Further, in revising 40 CFR 75.6, we 
inadvertently indicated that we were revising entire paragraphs, rather 
than just the introductory text.

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) (Pub. L. 104B4). 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 in 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. EPA will submit a report containing today's 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 May 18, 2005.
    EPA's compliance with the above statutes and EO for the underlying 
rule is discussed in the May 18, 2005 Federal Register notice 
containing ``Standards of Performance for New and Existing Stationary 
Sources: Electric Utility Steam Generating Units'' (70 FR 28606).
