Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 251 / Wednesday, December 31, 2008 / Rules and Regulations the EPA regulation that determines the pollutants subject to the Federal PSD program under the Clean Air Act (Act). Under Title I, Part C of the Act, the PSD program preconstruction permit requirement applies to any new major stationary source or modified existing major stationary source of regulated air pollutants located in an area that is either attaining the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) or unclassifiable. Under the Federal PSD permitting regulations, only new or modified major sources that emit one or more ‘‘regulated NSR pollutants,’’ as that term is defined in the regulations, are subject to the requirements of the PSD program, including the requirement to install the best available control technology (BACT) for those regulated NSR pollutants that the facility has the potential to emit in significant amounts. This memorandum contains EPA’s definitive interpretation of ‘‘regulated NSR pollutant’’ and is intended to resolve any ambiguity in the definition, which includes ‘‘any pollutant that otherwise is subject to regulation under the Act.’’ As of the date of the memorandum, EPA interprets this definition of ‘‘regulated NSR pollutant’’ to exclude pollutants for which EPA regulations only require monitoring or reporting but include all pollutants subject to a provision in the Act or regulation adopted by EPA under the Act that requires actual control of emissions of that pollutant.

II. What Does this Amendment Do? FR Doc. E8–21589 published in the Federal Register of September 17, 2008 (73 FR 53732) (FRL–8375–2), is corrected as follows: 1. On page 53737, under § 180.185(a), in the table, the tolerance for ‘‘vegetable, brassica, leafy, group 5’’ is corrected to read 5.0 ppm. (EPA proposed a 5.0 ppm tolerance on February 6, 2008 (73 FR 6867) (FRL–8345–2), and received no comments on that proposed tolerance, but through typographical error the tolerance was listed at 0.05 ppm in the final rule. This technical amendment corrects that error.) 2. On page 53742, under § 180.412(a), the table is corrected to include the following tolerances which were E:\FR\FM\31DER1.SGM 31DER1 80302 Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 251 / Wednesday, December 31, 2008 / Rules and Regulations inadvertently omitted: Crambe, meal at 40.0 ppm; crambe, seed at 35.0 ppm; cuphea, seed at 35.0 ppm; echium, seed at 35.0 ppm; gold of pleasure, meal at 40.0 ppm; gold of pleasure, seed at 35.0 ppm; hare’s ear mustard, seed at 35.0 ppm; lesquerella, seed at 35.0 ppm; lunaria, seed at 35.0 ppm; meadowfoam, seed at 35.0 ppm; milkweed, seed at 35.0 ppm; mustard, seed at 35.0 ppm; oil radish, seed at 35.0 ppm; poppy, seed at 35.0 ppm; sesame, seed at 35.0 ppm; and sweet rocket, seed at 35.0 ppm. (These oil seed commodity tolerances for sethoxydim were published in the Federal Register of July 9, 2008 (73 FR 39256) (FRL–8370– 9). When EPA published the September 17, 2008 (73 FR 53732), final rule pertaining to sethoxydim tolerances for other commodities, the amendatory language in the final rule mistakenly omitted the tolerances finalized on July 9, 2008, rather than adding to them, as had been intended. EPA has not proposed revoking these tolerances. This technical amendment corrects that error). III. Why is this Amendment 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 there is good cause for making today’s technical amendment final without prior proposal and opportunity for comment, because the erroneous changes being corrected were the result of clerical error, and were neither proposed nor commented upon. Notice and comment is therefore unnecessary. pwalker on PROD1PC71 with RULES IV. Do Any of the Statutory and Executive Order Reviews Apply to this Action? No. This action only corrects typographical omissions and errors for a previously published final rule and does not impose any new requirements. EPA’s compliance with the statues and Executive Orders for the underlying rule is discussed in Unit VI. of the final rule published September 17, 2008 (73 FR 53732). V. Congressional Review Act The Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801 et seq., generally provides that before a rule may take effect, the Agency promulgating the rule must submit a rule report to each House of VerDate Aug<31>2005 16:52 Dec 30, 2008 Jkt 217001 the Congress and to the Comptroller General of the United States.

II. What Does this Amendment Do?

    FR Doc. E8-21589 published in the Federal Register of September 17, 
2008 (73 FR 53732) (FRL-8375-2), is corrected as follows:
    1. On page 53737, under Sec.  180.185(a), in the table, the 
tolerance for ``vegetable, brassica, leafy, group 5'' is corrected to 
read 5.0 ppm. (EPA proposed a 5.0 ppm tolerance on February 6, 2008 (73 
FR 6867) (FRL-8345-2), and received no comments on that proposed 
tolerance, but through typographical error the tolerance was listed at 
0.05 ppm in the final rule. This technical amendment corrects that 
error.)
    2. On page 53742, under Sec.  180.412(a), the table is corrected to 
include the following tolerances which were

[[Page 80302]]

inadvertently omitted: Crambe, meal at 40.0 ppm; crambe, seed at 35.0 
ppm; cuphea, seed at 35.0 ppm; echium, seed at 35.0 ppm; gold of 
pleasure, meal at 40.0 ppm; gold of pleasure, seed at 35.0 ppm; hare's 
ear mustard, seed at 35.0 ppm; lesquerella, seed at 35.0 ppm; lunaria, 
seed at 35.0 ppm; meadowfoam, seed at 35.0 ppm; milkweed, seed at 35.0 
ppm; mustard, seed at 35.0 ppm; oil radish, seed at 35.0 ppm; poppy, 
seed at 35.0 ppm; sesame, seed at 35.0 ppm; and sweet rocket, seed at 
35.0 ppm. (These oil seed commodity tolerances for sethoxydim were 
published in the Federal Register of July 9, 2008 (73 FR 39256) (FRL-
8370-9). When EPA published the September 17, 2008 (73 FR 53732), final 
rule pertaining to sethoxydim tolerances for other commodities, the 
amendatory language in the final rule mistakenly omitted the tolerances 
finalized on July 9, 2008, rather than adding to them, as had been 
intended. EPA has not proposed revoking these tolerances. This 
technical amendment corrects that error).

III. Why is this Amendment 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 there is good cause for making today's technical 
amendment final without prior proposal and opportunity for comment, 
because the erroneous changes being corrected were the result of 
clerical error, and were neither proposed nor commented upon. Notice 
and comment is therefore unnecessary.

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

    No. This action only corrects typographical omissions and errors 
for a previously published final rule and does not impose any new 
requirements. EPA's compliance with the statues and Executive Orders 
for the underlying rule is discussed in Unit VI. of the final rule 
published September 17, 2008 (73 FR 53732).

V. Congressional Review Act

    The Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801 et seq., generally 
provides that before a rule may take effect, the Agency promulgating 
the rule must submit a rule report 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 this final rule in the Federal 
Register. This final rule is not a ``major rule'' as defined by 5 
U.S.C. 804(2).
