SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Background This notice corrects certain minor errors in the revisions to OSHA’s Hazard Communication Standard, published at 77 FR 17574. The majority of these corrections change references in other OSHA standards made to ‘‘material safety data sheet’’ or ‘‘MSDS’’ to ‘‘safety data sheet’’ or ‘‘SDS,’’ which OSHA inadvertently missed in its original publication of the final rule. Other corrections include correcting values or notations in tables, and updating references to terms defined in the Hazard Communication Standard Final Rule, published on March 26, 2012. Correction of Publication The following corrections are made to the preamble to the final rule for the Hazard Communication Standard, published in the Federal Register on March 26, 2012 (77 FR 17574). 1.

Exemption From Notice-andComment Procedures Section 4 of the Administrative Procedure Act, 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. This rulemaking only corrects errors of a minor, mainly typographical nature and therefore does not affect or change any existing rights or obligations. OSHA has determined that there is good cause, pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(3)(B), VerDate Mar<15>2010 14:10 Feb 07, 2013 Jkt 229001 The example label language in Appendix A is removed and the Appendix is corrected to reference classification and label requirements provided in § 1910.1200. ‘‘material safety data sheet’’ and the acronym ‘‘MSDS’’ are corrected to ‘‘safety data sheet’’ and ‘‘SDS’’. Remove the entire Appendix E entitled, ‘‘Appendix E to § 1910.1200—(Advisory)— Guidelines for Employer Compliance’’. Remove paragraphs (d)(4), (d)(5), and (d)(6). Remove the word ‘‘Steward’’. Dermal Category 1 value of ‘‘≤5’’ is corrected to read ‘‘≤50’’. The concentration of ‘‘relevant ingredients’’ of a mixture is corrected from ‘‘>1%’’ to ‘‘≥1%’’. The concentration of ‘‘relevant ingredients’’ of a mixture is corrected from ‘‘>1%’’ to ‘‘≥1%’’. Reformat table to clarify application of hazard categories. Correct the paragraph numbering in the first column. The second subsection under the heading Carcinogenicity in experimental animals is corrected to read ‘‘(b)’’. The NTP RoC column of the Table is corrected to indicate that the text ‘‘Reasonably Anticipated (See Note 1)’’ is intended to refer to both lines (IARC Group 2A and 2B, and GHS Category 1B and 2), and the subparagraphs in paragraph 3 of Note 1 are corrected to ‘‘a’’ and ‘‘b’’ rather than ‘‘c’’ and ‘‘d’’. ‘‘material safety data sheet’’ and the acronym ‘‘MSDS’’ are corrected to ‘‘safety data sheet’’ and ‘‘SDS’’, respectively. ‘‘material safety data sheet’’ and the acronym ‘‘MSDS’’ are corrected to ‘‘safety data sheet’’ and ‘‘SDS’’, respectively. ‘‘material safety data sheet’’ is corrected to ‘‘safety data sheet’’. Paragraphs (k)(8)(iv)(B) and (k)(8)(v) are repetitive; paragraph (k)(8)(v) is designated as ‘‘Reserved.’’ Section 6(b) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 (29 U.S.C. 655(b)), and 29 CFR 1911.5, for making this correctional amendment final without prior proposal and opportunity for comment because the rulemaking does not affect or change any existing rights or obligations, and no stakeholder is likely to object to them. For the same reasons, the Agency finds good cause under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3) to make the amendment effective upon publication. III.

ACTION: Direct final rule. AGENCY: EPA is taking direct final action to approve a State Implementation Plan (SIP) revision submitted by the Maryland Department of the Environment (MDE) pertaining to the F. Keeler Company Boiler at Mount Saint Mary’s College. This revision removes the Mount Saint Mary’s College 1979 Consent Order (1979 Consent Order) from the Maryland SIP because the coal-fired F. Keeler Boiler has been modified by removing the coal-firing capability and converting the boiler to fire natural gas with No. 2 fuel oil as backup. EPA is approving this SIP revision because the 1979 Consent Order is no longer required as the modified gas-fired unit can comply with all visible emission and particulate requirements in the Maryland SIP, and this 1979 Consent Order is no longer required to satisfy any applicable Federal regulations or the Clean Air Act (CAA). This action is being taken under the CAA. SUMMARY: E:\FR\FM\08FER1.SGM 08FER1

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background

    This notice corrects certain minor errors in the revisions to 
OSHA's Hazard Communication Standard, published at 77 FR 17574. The 
majority of these corrections change references in other OSHA standards 
made to ``material safety data sheet'' or ``MSDS'' to ``safety data 
sheet'' or ``SDS,'' which OSHA inadvertently missed in its original 
publication of the final rule. Other corrections include correcting 
values or notations in tables, and updating references to terms defined 
in the Hazard Communication Standard Final Rule, published on March 26, 
2012.

Correction of Publication

    The following corrections are made to the preamble to the final 
rule for the Hazard Communication Standard, published in the Federal 
Register on March 26, 2012 (77 FR 17574).
    1. In the Preamble, on p. 17686, in the third column, the seventh 
paragraph Estimated Total Burden Hours: 11.3 million hours is revised 
to read Estimated Total Burden Hours: 10,689,248 hours.
    2. In the Preamble, on p. 17755, in the third column, in the first 
paragraph the name ``David Levine'' is corrected to read ``Daniel 
Levine''.
    3. In the Preamble, on p. 17712, Table XIII-1, the ``>20%'' value 
for Specific target organ toxicity Category 3 is corrected to read 
``>=20%'' (both columns).
    4. In the Preamble, on p. 17751, Table XIII-5, Health Effects 
Column for Standard No. 1910.1051. ``Cancer; eye and respiratory tract 
irritation; center nervous system effects; and flammability'' is 
corrected to read

[[Page 9312]]

``Cancer; eye and respiratory tract irritation; central nervous system 
effects; and flammability.''
    The following table contains a summary of the codified changes made 
to the Hazard Communication final rule as it appeared at 77 FR 17574 
and is provided for the regulated community. The changes are listed by

II. Exemption From Notice-and-Comment Procedures

    Section 4 of the Administrative Procedure Act, 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. This rulemaking 
only corrects errors of a minor, mainly typographical nature and 
therefore does not affect or change any existing rights or obligations. 
OSHA has determined that there is good cause, pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 
553(b)(3)(B), Section 6(b) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 
1970 (29 U.S.C. 655(b)), and 29 CFR 1911.5, for making this 
correctional amendment final without prior proposal and opportunity for 
comment because the rulemaking does not affect or change any existing 
rights or obligations, and no stakeholder is likely to object to them. 
For the same reasons, the Agency finds good cause under 5 U.S.C. 
553(d)(3) to make the amendment effective upon publication.

    Note 1:
    1. Limited evidence of carcinogenicity from studies in humans 
(corresponding to IARC 2A/GHS 1B);
    2. Sufficient evidence of carcinogenicity from studies in 
experimental animals (again, essentially corresponding to IARC 2A/
GHS 1B);
    3. Less than sufficient evidence of carcinogenicity in humans or 
laboratory animals; however:
    a. The agent, substance, or mixture belongs to a well-defined, 
structurally-related class of substances whose members are listed in 
a previous RoC as either ``Known'' or ``Reasonably Anticipated'' to 
be a human carcinogen, or
    b. There is convincing relevant information that the agent acts 
through mechanisms indicating it would likely cause cancer in 
humans.
