the EPA received adverse comment, we
are withdrawing the direct final rule

would not take effect and we would
publish a timely withdrawal in the
Federal Register. We subsequently
received adverse comment on that direct

ACTION: Direct final rule.
AGENCY:
In reviewing past State
Implementation Plan (SIP) actions, the
Washington Department of Ecology
(Ecology) and the Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) discovered
minor typographical errors related to the
EPA’s previous approvals of Chapter
173–400 Washington Administrative
Code, General Regulations for Air
Pollution Sources. The EPA is taking
direct final action to correct these errors.
This direct final action makes no
substantive changes to the SIP and
imposes no new requirements.
DATES: This rule is effective on
November 28, 2016, without further
notice, unless the EPA receives adverse
comment by October 31, 2016. If the
EPA receives adverse comment, we will
publish a timely withdrawal in the
Federal Register informing the public
that the rule will not take effect.
ADDRESSES: Submit your comments,
identified by Docket ID No. EPA–R10–
OAR–2016–0493 at https://
www.regulations.gov. Follow the online
instructions for submitting comments.
Once submitted, comments cannot be
edited or removed from Regulations.gov.
The EPA may publish any comment
received to its public docket. Do not
submit electronically any information

I. Introduction
In final actions published October 3,
2014 (79 FR 59653) and April 29, 2015
(80 FR 23721), the EPA approved
Washington Administrative Code
(WAC) 173–400–110 New Source
Review (NSR) for Sources and Portable
Sources and WAC 173–400–112
Requirements for New Sources in
Nonattainment Areas—Review for
Compliance with Regulations with
certain exceptions. One of the listed
exceptions was ‘‘the part of 400–
110(4)(e)(f)(i)’’ related to toxic air
pollutants. The EPA notes that ‘‘400–
110(4)(e)(f)(i)’’ does not exist under
Chapter 173–400 WAC. The correct
citation is ‘‘400–110(4)(f)(i).’’ Similarly,
both final approvals contained
regulatory text under 40 CFR part
52.2470(c) which listed an exception for
WAC 173–400–112(8). WAC 173–400–
112(8) does not exist in the version of
Chapter 173–400 WAC adopted by
Ecology on November 28, 2012, which
the EPA reviewed and approved. This
exception, related to toxic air pollutants,
was a holdover from a previous
approval action (60 FR 28726, June 2,
1995). This exception was inadvertently
copied as part of 40 CFR 52.2470(c)
Table 2—Additional Regulations
Approved for Washington Department
of Ecology (Ecology) Direct Jurisdiction.
Both typographical errors were also
inadvertently copied in the regulatory
text of a November 17, 2015 final
approval for the Benton Clean Air
Agency, under 40 CFR 52.2470(c) Table
4—Additional Regulations Approved for
the Benton Clean Air Agency (BCAA)
Jurisdiction, which generally relies on
the regulations contained in Chapter
173–400 WAC (80 FR 71695).
