Pallet National Ambient Air Quality Standards for Particulate Matter; Correction Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). ACTION: Proposed rule; correction. AGENCY: In the Proposed Rules section of today’s Federal Register, the EPA is proposing to revise the national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS) for particulate matter (PM). This action SUMMARY: corrects a typographical error in one table contained in the preamble. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Questions concerning the ‘‘National Ambient Air Quality Standards for Particulate Matter’’ proposed rule should be addressed to Ms. Beth Hassett-Sipple, U.S. EPA, Office of Air Quality Planning and Standards, Health and Environmental Impacts Division, (C504–06), Research Triangle Park, NC 27711, telephone number (919) 541– 4605, email hassettsipple.beth@epa.gov. Questions related to the Regulatory Impact Analysis for the proposed revisions to the PM NAAQS should be addressed to Ms. Lillian Bradley, U.S. EPA, Office of Office of Air Quality Planning and Standards, Health and Environmental Impacts Division, (C439–02), Research Triangle Park, NC 27711, telephone number (919) 541–5694, email bradley.lillian@epa.gov. In today’s Federal Register, a proposed rule titled, ‘‘National Ambient Air Quality Standards for Particulate Matter,’’ with the same RIN as this correction (RIN 2060–AO47) was published. This correction corrects a typographical error in section X.A, Table 4 of the preamble. This correction will make a change to the summary of the potential costs and benefits of attaining several alternative PM2.5 standards as presented in the Regulatory Impact Analysis (RIA). In NAAQS rulemaking, the RIA is done for informational purposes only, and the proposed decisions announced in today’s Federal Register are not in any way based on consideration of the information or analyses in the RIA. Specifically, the net benefits presented in Table 4 (3% discount rate) for alternative PM2.5 standard levels of 11/ 35 mg/m3 (annual and 24-hour standards) were incorrectly identified as $8,900 to $2300 million in the proposed rule. The correct estimates are $8,900 to $23,000 million.

If EPA receives adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received will be addressed in a subsequent final rule based on this proposed rule. EPA will not institute a second comment period. Any parties interested in commenting on this action should do so at this time. Please note that if EPA receives adverse comment on an amendment, paragraph, or section of this rule and if that provision may be severed from the remainder of the rule, EPA may adopt as final those provisions of the rule that are not the subject of an adverse comment.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In today's Federal Register, a proposed rule 
titled, ``National Ambient Air Quality Standards for Particulate 
Matter,'' with the same RIN as this correction (RIN 2060-AO47) was 
published. This correction corrects a typographical error in section
