TKELLEY on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with RULES

Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 20 / Thursday, January 30, 2014 / Rules and Regulations
rate established for the committee and
collected from handlers for the 2013–14
and subsequent crop years from $0.90 to
$0.40 per hundredweight of dates
handled. The committee unanimously
recommended 2013–14 expenditures of
$97,700 and an assessment rate of $0.40
per hundredweight of dates, which is
$0.50 lower than the 2012–13 rate. The
quantity of assessable dates for the
2013–14 crop year is estimated at
26,500,000 pounds (265,000
hundredweight). Thus, the $0.40 rate
should provide $106,000 in assessment
income. Income derived from handler’s
assessments should be adequate to meet
2013–14 crop year expenses.
This rule continues in effect the
action that decreased the assessment
obligation imposed on handlers.
Assessments are applied uniformly on
all handlers, and some of the costs may
be passed on to producers. However,
decreasing the assessment rate reduces
the burden on handlers, and may reduce
the burden on producers.
In addition, the committee’s meeting
was widely publicized throughout the
California date industry and all
interested persons were invited to
attend the meeting and encouraged to
participate in committee deliberations
on all issues. Like all committee
meetings, the June 20, 2013, meeting
was a public meeting and all entities,
both large and small, were able to
express views on this issue.
In accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C.
Chapter 35), the order’s information
collection requirements have been
previously approved by the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) and
assigned OMB No. 0581–0178,
Vegetable and Specialty Crops. No
changes in those requirements as a
result of this action are anticipated.
Should any changes become necessary,
they would be submitted to OMB for
approval.
This action imposes no additional
reporting or recordkeeping requirements
on either small or large California date
handlers. As with all Federal marketing
order programs, reports and forms are
periodically reviewed to reduce
information requirements and
duplication by industry and public
sector agencies.
USDA has not identified any relevant
Federal rules that duplicate, overlap or
conflict with this rule.
Comments on the interim rule were
required to be received on or before
November 4, 2013. No comments were
received. Therefore, for reasons given in
the interim rule, we are adopting the
interim rule as a final rule, without
change.

This action also affirms information

Executive Orders 12866, 12988, and
13563; the Paperwork Reduction Act (44
U.S.C. Chapter 35); and the E-Gov Act
(44 U.S.C. 101).
After consideration of all relevant
material presented, it is found that
finalizing the interim rule, without
change, as published in the Federal
Register (78 FR 54147, September 3,
2013) will tend to effectuate the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: EPA
inadvertently printed an incorrect
column title on a table entitled,
Delaware’s Motor Vehicle Budgets for
the 1997 Annual PM2.5 NAAQS. This
action corrects the table in rule
document [FR document No. 2013–
29803] published in the Federal
Register on December 17, 2013 (78 FR
76209). The table is corrected as
follows: On page 76212 on the third
column of the table, correct the title
which now reads volatile organic
compound (VOC), to read PM2.5.
Section 553 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 rule
without providing notice and an
opportunity for public comment. EPA
has 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. Thus, notice and public
procedure are unnecessary. We find that
this constitutes good cause under 5
U.S.C. 553(b)(3)(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 EPA 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 has
made such a good cause finding,
including the reasons therefore, and
established an effective date of January
16, 2014. 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 52.427(c) for Delaware is not a
‘‘major rule’’ as defined by 5 U.S.C.
804(2).

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Final rule; correcting amendment.

SUMMARY: This document corrects an error in the preamble language of a
final rule pertaining to EPA's approval of Delaware's state
implementation plan (SIP) revision demonstrating Delaware's attainment
of the 1997 annual fine particulate matter (PM2.5) national
ambient air quality standard (NAAQS) for the Philadelphia-Wilmington,
Pennsylvania-New Jersey-Delaware (PA-NJ-DE) nonattainment area
(Philadelphia Area) submitted by the Delaware Department of Natural
Resources and Environmental Control.
DATES: This final rule is effective on January 30, 2014, and is
applicable beginning January 16, 2014.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Rose Quinto, (215) 814-2182 or by
email at quinto.rose@.epa.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: EPA inadvertently printed an incorrect
column title on a table entitled, Delaware's Motor Vehicle Budgets for
the 1997 Annual PM2.5 NAAQS. This action corrects the table
in rule document [FR document No. 2013-29803] published in the Federal
Register on December 17, 2013 (78 FR 76209). The table is corrected as
follows: On page 76212 on the third column of the table, correct the
title which now reads volatile organic compound (VOC), to read
PM2.5.
Section 553 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 rule without providing
notice and an opportunity for public comment. EPA has 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. Thus, notice and public
procedure are unnecessary. We find that this constitutes good cause
under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(3)(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
EPA 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
[[Page 4821]]
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 has made such a good cause finding, including
the reasons therefore, and established an effective date of January 16,
2014. 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 52.427(c)
for Delaware is not a ``major rule'' as defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2).
