This document corrects an
error in the codification in a May 25,
2007, final rule under the Clean Air Act
pertaining to a request for the use of low
Reid Vapor Pressure (RVP) fuel in the
Cincinnati and Dayton areas. Clinton
County, Ohio is actually not part of the
area affected by the rulemaking.
DATES: Effective Date: This final rule is
effective on July 8, 2011.

Carolyn Persoon, Environmental
Engineer, Control Strategies Section, Air
Programs Branch (AR–18J),
Environmental Protection Agency,
Region 5, 77 West Jackson Boulevard,
Chicago, Illinois 60604, (312) 353–8290,
persoon.carolyn@epa.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Throughout this document whenever
‘‘we,’’ ‘‘us,’’ or ‘‘our’’ is used, we mean
EPA. EPA published a final approval of
Ohio rules that request use of low RVP
fuel in the Cincinnati and Dayton areas
on May 25, 2007 (72 FR 29269).
Thecodification of this approval states
that the Ohio rules require that low-RVP
fuel of 7.8 pounds per square inch (psi)
be sold in Hamilton, Butler, Clinton,
Warren, Clermont, Clark, Greene,
Miami, and Montgomery counties.
However, the addition of Clinton
County in the final rule and the
codification was a clerical error. The
Ohio rules submitted to EPA for action
do not apply to Clinton County, Ohio.
The error has resulted in a discrepancy
between 40 CFR 52.1870 and the state
rules of Ohio. This document corrects
the erroneous amendatory language.
Correction
In the codification published in the
Federal Register on May 25, 2007 (72
FR 29269), on page 29273 in the second
column, paragraph numbered (138):
‘‘Areas which includes Hamilton,
Butler, Clinton, Warren and Clermont,
Clark, Greene, Miami, and Montgomery
counties.’’ is corrected to read: ‘‘Areas
which include Hamilton, Butler, Warren
and Clermont, Clark, Greene, Miami,
and Montgomery Counties.’’
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. The underlying state
rule is not affected. Thus, notice and
public procedure are unnecessary. We
find that this constitutes good cause
under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B).
Statutory and Executive Order Reviews
Under Executive Order (E.O.) 12866
(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
VerDate Mar<15>2010
15:25 Jul 07, 2011
Jkt 223001
Budget. For this reason, this action is
also not subject to Executive Order
13211, ‘‘Actions Concerning Regulations
That Significantly Affect Energy Supply,
Distribution, or Use’’ (66 FR 28355 (May
22, 2001)). Because the agency has made
a ‘‘good cause’’ finding that this action
is not subject to notice-and-comment
requirements under the Administrative
Procedures Act or any other statute as
indicated in the Supplementary
Information section above, 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.
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
UMRA. This rule also does not have a
substantial direct effect on one or more
Indian Tribes, on the relationship
between the Federal Government and
Indian Tribes, or on the distribution of
power and responsibilities between the
Federal Government and Indian Tribes,
as specified by Executive Order 13175
(65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000), nor
will it have substantial direct effects on
the States, on the relationship between
the National Government and the States,
or on the distribution of power and
responsibilities among the various
levels of governments, as specified by
Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255,
August 10, 1999). This rule also is not
subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR
19885, April 23, 1997), because it is not
economically significant.
This technical correction action does
not involve technical standards; thus
the requirements of section 12(d) of the
National Technology Transfer and
Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C.
272 note) do not apply. The rule also
does not involve special consideration
of environmental justice related issues
as required by Executive Order 12898
(59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994). In
issuing this rule, EPA has taken the
necessary steps to eliminate drafting
errors and ambiguity, minimize
potential litigation, and provide a clear
legal standard for affected conduct, as
required by section 3 of Executive Order
12988 (61 FR 4729, February 7, 1996).
EPA has complied with Executive Order
12630 (53 FR 8859, March 15, 1998) by
examining the takings implications of
the rule in accordance with the
‘‘Attorney General’s Supplemental
Guidelines for the Evaluation of Risk
and Avoidance of Unanticipated
Takings’’ issued under the executive
order. This rule does not impose an
PO 00000

Fmt 4700

information collection burden under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44
U.S.C. 3501 et seq.).
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. Section 808 allows
the issuing agency to make a rule
effective sooner than otherwise
provided by the CRA if the agency
makes a good cause finding that notice
and public procedure is impracticable,
unnecessary or contrary to the public
interest. This determination must be
supported by a brief statement. 5 U.S.C.
808(2). As stated previously, EPA had
made such a good cause finding,
including the reasons therefore, and
established an effective date of July 8,
2011. 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. This correction to
40 CFR part 52 for Ohio is not a ‘‘major
rule’’ as defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2).

Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:
EPA is approving submittals
from the States of Connecticut, Maine,
New Hampshire and Rhode Island.
These submittals outline how each
state’s State Implementation Plan (SIP)
meets the requirements of the Clean Air
Act (CAA) for the 1997 8-hour ozone
national ambient air quality standards
(NAAQS). Section 110(a) of the CAA
requires that each state adopt and
submit a SIP for the implementation,
maintenance and enforcement of each
NAAQS promulgated by the EPA. This
SIP is commonly referred to as an
infrastructure SIP. Specifically, EPA is
taking final action to fully approve the
submittals from Connecticut, Maine,
New Hampshire and Rhode Island, with
one exception. EPA is taking direct final
action to conditionally approve one
element of Connecticut’s submittal.
These actions are being taken under the
Clean Air Act.
DATES: Effective Dates: This rule will be
effective August 8, 2011, with one
exception. The conditional approval of
one element of Connecticut’s SIP is a
direct final rule which will be effective
September 6, 2011, unless EPA receives
adverse comments on that action by
August 8, 2011.
If adverse comments are received,
EPA will publish a timely withdrawal of
the direct final rule in the Federal
Register informing the public that the
rule will not take effect.
ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, if
any, on EPA’s direct final conditional
approval for Connecticut, identified by

I. Background
Section 110(a) of the Clean Air Act
imposes the obligation upon states to
make a SIP submission to EPA for a new
or revised NAAQS, but the contents of
that submission may vary depending
upon the facts and circumstances. In
particular, the data and analytical tools
available at the time the state develops
and submits the SIP for a new or revised
NAAQS affects the content of the
submission. The contents of such SIP
submissions may also vary depending
upon what provisions the state’s
existing SIP already contains. In the
case of the 1997 8-hour ozone NAAQS,
states typically have met the basic
program elements required in section
110(a)(2) through earlier SIP
submissions in connection with
previous ozone standards.
On October 2, 2007, EPA issued a
guidance document entitled, ‘‘Guidance
on SIP Elements Required Under

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Throughout this document whenever ``we,''
``us,'' or ``our'' is used, we mean EPA. EPA published a final approval
of Ohio rules that request use of low RVP fuel in the Cincinnati and
Dayton areas on May 25, 2007 (72 FR 29269). Thecodification of this
approval states that the Ohio rules require that low-RVP fuel of 7.8
pounds per square inch (psi) be sold in Hamilton, Butler, Clinton,
Warren, Clermont, Clark, Greene, Miami, and Montgomery counties.
However, the addition of Clinton County in the final rule and the
codification was a clerical error. The Ohio rules submitted to EPA for
action do not apply to Clinton County, Ohio. The error has resulted in
a discrepancy between 40 CFR 52.1870 and the state rules of Ohio. This
document corrects the erroneous amendatory language.
Correction
In the codification published in the Federal Register on May 25,
2007 (72 FR 29269), on page 29273 in the second column, paragraph
numbered (138): ``Areas which includes Hamilton, Butler, Clinton,
Warren and Clermont, Clark, Greene, Miami, and Montgomery counties.''
is corrected to read: ``Areas which include Hamilton, Butler, Warren
and Clermont, Clark, Greene, Miami, and Montgomery Counties.''
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. The underlying state rule
is not affected. Thus, notice and public procedure are unnecessary. We
find that this constitutes good cause under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B).
Statutory and Executive Order Reviews
Under Executive Order (E.O.) 12866 (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. For this
reason, this action is also not subject to Executive Order 13211,
``Actions Concerning Regulations That Significantly Affect Energy
Supply, Distribution, or Use'' (66 FR 28355 (May 22, 2001)). Because
the agency has made a ``good cause'' finding that this action is not
subject to notice-and-comment requirements under the Administrative
Procedures Act or any other statute as indicated in the Supplementary
Information section above, 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. 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 UMRA. This rule also does not have a substantial direct effect
on one or more Indian Tribes, on the relationship between the Federal
Government and Indian Tribes, or on the distribution of power and
responsibilities between the Federal Government and Indian Tribes, as
specified by Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000), nor
will it have substantial direct effects on the States, on the
relationship between the National Government and the States, or on the
distribution of power and responsibilities among the various levels of
governments, as specified by Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August
10, 1999). This rule also is not subject to Executive Order 13045 (62
FR 19885, April 23, 1997), because it is not economically significant.
This technical correction action does not involve technical
standards; thus the requirements of section 12(d) of the National
Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272 note) do
not apply. The rule also does not involve special consideration of
environmental justice related issues as required by Executive Order
12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994). In issuing this rule, EPA has
taken the necessary steps to eliminate drafting errors and ambiguity,
minimize potential litigation, and provide a clear legal standard for
affected conduct, as required by section 3 of Executive Order 12988 (61
FR 4729, February 7, 1996). EPA has complied with Executive Order 12630
(53 FR 8859, March 15, 1998) by examining the takings implications of
the rule in accordance with the ``Attorney General's Supplemental
Guidelines for the Evaluation of Risk and Avoidance of Unanticipated
Takings'' issued under the executive order. This rule does not impose
an information collection burden under the Paperwork Reduction Act of
1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.).
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. Section 808 allows the issuing agency to
make a rule effective sooner than otherwise provided by the CRA if the
agency makes a good cause finding that notice and public procedure is
impracticable, unnecessary or contrary to the public interest. This
determination must be supported by a brief statement. 5 U.S.C. 808(2).
As stated previously, EPA had made such a good cause finding, including
the reasons therefore, and established an effective date of July 8,
2011. 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. This correction to 40 CFR part 52 for
Ohio is not a ``major rule'' as defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2).
