II. What Does This Correction Do? jlentini on PROD1PC65 with RULES On September 15, 1994, (59 FR 47384) EPA published revisions to the National Oil and Hazardous Substances and Pollution Contingency Plan (NCP). The Oil Pollution Act of 1990 (OPA) amended certain provisions of the Clean Water Act (CWA) and created major new authorities that addressed oil and, to a lesser extent, hazardous substance spill response. The amended CWA required the President to revise the NCP to reflect these changes. The OPA specified a number of revisions to the NCP that enhanced and expanded upon the existing framework, standards, and procedures for response. The NCP is found in 40 CFR part 300. Section 300.105 provides general organization concepts to show the basic framework for the response management structure VerDate Aug<31>2005 17:48 Jun 07, 2007 Jkt 211001 in the NCP. Section 300.105(e)(3) includes the United States Coast Guard (USCG) District boundaries in Figure 3, ‘‘U.S. Coast Guard Districts Atlantic and Pacific Area Commands.’’ The USCG revised their District boundaries and the map is now incorrect. This technical correction provides the revised map depicting the USCG District boundaries. III. Why Is This Correction Issued as a Final Rule? 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 final rule without providing notice and an opportunity for public comment. EPA has determined that public comment on this technical correction is unnecessary, because EPA is merely correcting information that has become out of date since the previously published final rule. The USCG District boundaries found in the Figure at 40 CFR 300.105(e)(3) have changed since the September 15, 1994, publication of the final rule. This change has no effect on the substantive requirements of the NCP. IV. Do Any of the Statutory and Executive Order Reviews Apply to This Action? 31753 of the United States. EPA will submit a report containing this rule 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.

.

II. What Does This Correction Do?

    On September 15, 1994, (59 FR 47384) EPA published revisions to the 
National Oil and Hazardous Substances and Pollution Contingency Plan 
(NCP). The Oil Pollution Act of 1990 (OPA) amended certain provisions 
of the Clean Water Act (CWA) and created major new authorities that 
addressed oil and, to a lesser extent, hazardous substance spill 
response. The amended CWA required the President to revise the NCP to 
reflect these changes. The OPA specified a number of revisions to the 
NCP that enhanced and expanded upon the existing framework, standards, 
and procedures for response. The NCP is found in 40 CFR part 300. 
Section 300.105 provides general organization concepts to show the 
basic framework for the response management structure in the NCP. 
Section 300.105(e)(3) includes the United States Coast Guard (USCG) 
District boundaries in Figure 3, ``U.S. Coast Guard Districts Atlantic 
and Pacific Area Commands.'' The USCG revised their District boundaries 
and the map is now incorrect. This technical correction provides the 
revised map depicting the USCG District boundaries.

III. Why Is This Correction Issued as a Final Rule?

    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 final rule without 
providing notice and an opportunity for public comment. EPA has 
determined that public comment on this technical correction is 
unnecessary, because EPA is merely correcting information that has 
become out of date since the previously published final rule. The USCG 
District boundaries found in the Figure at 40 CFR 300.105(e)(3) have 
changed since the September 15, 1994, publication of the final rule. 
This change has no effect on the substantive requirements of the NCP.

IV. Do Any of the Statutory and Executive Order Reviews Apply to This 
Action?

    The applicable statutory and Executive Order reviews were included 
in the September 15, 1994, Federal Register document. This document is 
a technical correction and as such no new review requirements are 
applicable.

V. Congressional Review Act

    The Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801 et seq., as added by the 
Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996, 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 
United States. EPA will submit a report containing this rule 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). This rule will be effective on July 9, 2007.
