National Pollutant Discharge
Elimination System (NPDES): Use of
Sufficiently Sensitive Test Methods for
Permit Applications and Reporting;
Correction
Environmental Protection
Agency.
ACTION: Final rule; correction.
AGENCY:
The Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) is correcting a final rule
that appeared in the Federal Register of
August 19, 2014 (79 FR 49001). The rule
finalized minor amendments to its
Clean Water Act (CWA) regulations to
codify that under the National Pollutant
Discharge Elimination System (NPDES)
program, in general, permit applicants
must use ‘‘sufficiently sensitive’’
analytical test methods when
completing an NPDES permit
application and the Director must
prescribe that only ‘‘sufficiently
sensitive’’ methods be used for analyses
of pollutants or pollutant parameters
under an NPDES permit.
DATES: Effective September 18, 2014.

Kelley, Water Permits Division, Office of
Wastewater Management (4203M),

except (1) (3), (6), (7), (9) (14), (19) (26), and
(28).
EPA is
correcting two citations that are
contained within the text of two
‘‘Notes’’ in the final rule, as set forth
below. Section 553(b)(B) of the
Administrative Procedure Act, 5 U.S.C.
553(b)(B), provides that, when an
agency for good cause finds that public
notice and comment procedures are
impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary
to the public interest, the agency may
issue a rule without providing notice
and an opportunity for public comment.
Here, EPA has determined that there is
good cause for making this rule final
without prior proposal and opportunity
for comment because notice and
opportunity for comment are
unnecessary. The corrections being
made in this rule are technical and very
minor. These corrections concern two
citations that were inadvertently stated
incorrectly in the text of the final rule
published on Aug. 19, 2014. The
preamble to that rule makes clear that
EPA intended the two Notes that
contain these citations to discuss how
method minimum levels (MLs) are
determined under any of the
subparagraphs to 122.21(e)(3)(i) or
122.44(i)(1)(iv)(A) (see 79 FR 49004–05
and 49010), which is the effect of
today’s corrections to these two
citations. Accordingly, EPA does not
believe that conducting a notice and
comment process on today’s corrections
would inform the public of agency
action that may be of interest.
Under Section 553(d) of the
Administrative Procedure Act,
publication of a rule must be made at
least 30 days before its effective date,
except where the agency provides
otherwise for good cause. EPA finds that
there is good cause for making this rule

Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 182 / Friday, September 19, 2014 / Rules and Regulations
effective on September 18, 2014, which
is less than 30 days after its publication.
Waiting 30 days before making this rule
effective is not necessary. Since these
are only minor corrections to citations,
we do not believe they will be of public
interest (as discussed above) and the
regulated community does not need 30
days to prepare to comply with them. At
the same time, because the August 19,
2014 sufficiently sensitive methods rule
becomes effective on September 18,
2014, making these minor corrections to
that final rule effective on the same date
will avoid any regulatory confusion that
might occur from making them effective
on a different date.
In FR Doc. 2014–19265 appearing on
page 49001 in the Federal Register of
Tuesday, August 19, 2014, the following
corrections are made:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: EPA is correcting two citations that are
contained within the text of two ``Notes'' in the final rule, as set
forth below. Section 553(b)(B) of the Administrative Procedure Act, 5
U.S.C. 553(b)(B), provides that, when an agency for good cause finds
that public notice and comment procedures are impracticable,
unnecessary, or contrary to the public interest, the agency may issue a
rule without providing notice and an opportunity for public comment.
Here, EPA has determined that there is good cause for making this rule
final without prior proposal and opportunity for comment because notice
and opportunity for comment are unnecessary. The corrections being made
in this rule are technical and very minor. These corrections concern
two citations that were inadvertently stated incorrectly in the text of
the final rule published on Aug. 19, 2014. The preamble to that rule
makes clear that EPA intended the two Notes that contain these
citations to discuss how method minimum levels (MLs) are determined
under any of the subparagraphs to 122.21(e)(3)(i) or
122.44(i)(1)(iv)(A) (see 79 FR 49004-05 and 49010), which is the effect
of today's corrections to these two citations. Accordingly, EPA does
not believe that conducting a notice and comment process on today's
corrections would inform the public of agency action that may be of
interest.
Under Section 553(d) of the Administrative Procedure Act,
publication of a rule must be made at least 30 days before its
effective date, except where the agency provides otherwise for good
cause. EPA finds that there is good cause for making this rule
[[Page 56275]]
effective on September 18, 2014, which is less than 30 days after its
publication. Waiting 30 days before making this rule effective is not
necessary. Since these are only minor corrections to citations, we do
not believe they will be of public interest (as discussed above) and
the regulated community does not need 30 days to prepare to comply with
them. At the same time, because the August 19, 2014 sufficiently
sensitive methods rule becomes effective on September 18, 2014, making
these minor corrections to that final rule effective on the same date
will avoid any regulatory confusion that might occur from making them
effective on a different date.
In FR Doc. 2014-19265 appearing on page 49001 in the Federal
Register of Tuesday, August 19, 2014, the following corrections are
made:
