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. EPA will submit a report containing this action 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. A major rule cannot take effect until 60 days after it is published in the Federal Register. This action is not a ‘‘major rule’’ as defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2). Under section 307(b)(1) of the CAA, petitions for judicial review of this action must be filed in the United States Court of Appeals for the appropriate circuit by March 13, 2017. Filing a petition for reconsideration by the Administrator of this final rule does not affect the finality of this action for the purposes of judicial review nor does it extend the time within which a petition for judicial review may be filed, and shall not postpone the effectiveness of such rule or action. This action may not be challenged later in proceedings to enforce its requirements. (See section 307(b)(2).)

Determination of Nonattainment and Reclassification of the
Houston-Galveston-Brazoria 2008 8-Hour Ozone Nonattainment Area; Texas;
Correction

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Correcting amendment.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: EPA issued a final rule on December 14, 2016, (81 FR 90207),
that determined that the Houston-Galveston-Brazoria, Texas
nonattainment area (HGB area) failed to attain the 2008 8-hour ozone
national ambient air quality standard (NAAQS) by the applicable
attainment deadline of July 20, 2016, and thus was classified by
operation of law as ``Moderate''. In that action, EPA also determined
January 1, 2017 as the deadline by which Texas must submit to the EPA
the State Implementation Plan (SIP) revisions that meet the Clean Air
Act (CAA) statutory and regulatory requirements that apply to 2008
ozone NAAQS nonattainment areas reclassified as Moderate. The language
in the December 14, 2016 Federal Register amended the table in 40 CFR
81.344 (Subpart C-Section 107 Attainment Status Designations) titled
``Texas--2008 8-Hour Ozone NAAQS (Primary and secondary)''. The
amendatory language failed to update the table for the classification
date for HGB nonattainment area to 12/14/2016. This document corrects
the listed classification date in the December 14, 2016 final rule
document.

DATES: This final rule correction is effective on January 11, 2017.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: EPA issued a final rule on December 14,
2016, (81 FR 90207) (EPA-R06-OAR-2016-0275; FRL-9956-08-Region 6), that
reclassified the HGB nonattainment area from Marginal to Moderate for
the 2008 8-hour Ozone NAAQS standards. In that document, EPA
incorrectly listed the classification date for the HGB ozone
nonattainment area in Sec. 81.344, the table titled ``Texas--2008 8-
Hour Ozone NAAQS (Primary and secondary)'' to be 1/13/17. Instead the
document should have the classification date in the table as 12/14/
2016. This document corrects that mistake.
