This technical amendment revises § 180.1254 to reinstate text that was inadvertently omitted in a final rule that was published in the Federal Register of June 3, 2009 (74 FR 26527) (FRL–8417– 9).

III. Why is this Technical Amendment Issued as a Final Rule?

EPA has determined that there is good cause for making this technical correction final without prior proposal and opportunity for comment, because the omission was the result of clerical error and was 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 the omission for a previously published final rule and does not impose any new requirements. EPA’s compliance with the statutes and Executive orders for the underlying rule is discussed in Unit III. of the final rule published on June 3, 2009 (74 FR 26527). 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 PO 00000 Frm 00038 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Does this Action Apply to Me?

    The Agency included in the final rule a list of those who may be 
potentially affected by this action. If you have questions regarding 
the applicability of this action to a particular entity, consult the 
person listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT.

II. What Does this Technical Amendment Do?

    This technical amendment revises Sec.  180.1254 to reinstate text 
that was inadvertently omitted in a final rule that was published in 
the Federal Register of June 3, 2009 (74 FR 26527) (FRL-8417-9). The 
June 3, 2009 final rule revised Sec.  180.1254, however; the revision 
omitted text which which had been added as paragraph (b) in a final 
rule published in the Federal Register on October 1, 2008 (73 FR 
56995).

III. Why is this Technical Amendment Issued as a Final Rule?

    Section 553 of the Administrative Procedure Act (APA), (5 U.S.C. 
553(b)(3)(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 this technical 
correction final without prior proposal and opportunity for comment, 
because the omission was the result of clerical error and was 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 the omission for a previously 
published final rule and does not impose any new requirements. EPA's 
compliance with the statutes and Executive orders for the underlying 
rule is discussed in Unit III. of the final rule published on June 3, 
2009 (74 FR 26527).

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).
