SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
States are required to submit a
progress report in the form of a SIP
revision that evaluates progress towards
the RPGs for each mandatory Class I
federal area 1 (Class I area) within the
state and for each Class I area outside
the state which may be affected by
emissions from within the state. 40 CFR
51.308(g). In addition, the provisions of
40 CFR 51.308(h) require states to
submit, at the same time as the 40 CFR
51.308(g) progress report, a
determination of the adequacy of the
state’s existing regional haze plan. On
January 8, 2014, Georgia submitted its
Progress Report which, among other
things, details the progress made in the
first period toward implementation of
the long term strategy outlined in the
State’s regional haze plan; the visibility
improvement measured at the three
Class I areas within its borders (Cohutta
Wilderness Area, Okefenokee
Wilderness Area, and Wolf Island
Wilderness Area) and at Class I areas
1 Areas designated as mandatory Class I federal
areas consist of national parks exceeding 6000
acres, wilderness areas and national memorial parks
exceeding 5000 acres, and all international parks
that were in existence on August 7, 1977 (42 U.S.C.
7472(a)). These areas are listed at 40 CFR part 81,
subpart D.

outside of the State potentially impacted
by emissions from Georgia; and a
determination of the adequacy of the
State’s existing regional haze plan.
In a notice of proposed rulemaking
(NPRM) published on August 15, 2017
(82 FR 38654), EPA proposed to approve
Georgia’s January 8, 2014, Progress
Report. The details of Georgia’s
submission and the rationale for EPA’s
actions are explained in the NPRM.
Comments on the proposed rulemaking
were due on or before September 14,
2017. EPA received no adverse
comments on the proposed action.
II. Final Action
EPA is finalizing approval of
Georgia’s January 8, 2014, Progress
Report as meeting the applicable
regional haze requirements set forth in
40 CFR 51.308(g) and 51.308(h).
III. Statutory and Executive Order
Reviews
Under the CAA, the Administrator is
required to approve a SIP submission
that complies with the provisions of the
Act and applicable federal regulations.
See 42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 40 CFR 52.02(a).
Thus, in reviewing SIP submissions,
EPA’s role is to approve state choices,
provided that they meet the criteria of
the Act. Accordingly, this action merely
approves state law as meeting federal
requirements and does not impose
additional requirements beyond those
imposed by state law. For that reason,
this action:
• Is not a significant regulatory action
subject to review by the Office of
Management and Budget under
Executive Orders 12866 (58 FR 51735,
October 4, 1993) and 13563 (76 FR 3821,
January 21, 2011);
• does not impose an information
collection burden under the provisions
of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44
U.S.C. 3501 et seq.);
• is certified as not having a
significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities
under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5
U.S.C. 601 et seq.);
• does not contain any unfunded
mandate or significantly or uniquely
affect small governments, as described
in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act
of 1995 (Pub. L. 104–4);
• does not have Federalism
implications as specified in Executive
Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10,
1999);
• is not an economically significant
regulatory action based on health or
safety risks subject to Executive Order
13045 (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997);
• is not a significant regulatory action
subject to Executive Order 13211 (66 FR
28355, May 22, 2001);
• is not subject to requirements of
Section 12(d) of the National
Technology Transfer and Advancement
Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272 note) because
application of those requirements would
be inconsistent with the CAA; and
• does not provide EPA with the
discretionary authority to address, as
appropriate, disproportionate human
health or environmental effects, using
practicable and legally permissible
methods, under Executive Order 12898
(59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994).
The SIP is not approved to apply on
any Indian reservation land or in any
other area where EPA or an Indian tribe
has demonstrated that a tribe has
jurisdiction. In those areas of Indian
country, the rule does not have tribal
implications as specified by Executive
Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9,
2000), nor will it impose substantial
direct costs on tribal governments or
preempt tribal law.
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 December 4, 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).

II. Summary of Errors
BILLING CODE 6560–50–P
A. Summary of Errors in the Preamble
On page 37990, we are making a
conforming correction, removal of the
reference to part 488, based on the
removal of the regulations text for
§ 488.5 described in section II.B. of this
correcting document.
On pages 38067 and 38068, we are
correcting technical errors in our
discussion and summary of and
response to public comment regarding
ICD–10–PCS procedure codes
describing procedures involving
percutaneous insertion of intraluminal
or monitoring device. Specifically, we
erroneously referred to a count of 28
procedure codes describing procedures
involving the percutaneous insertion of
intraluminal and monitoring devices
into central nervous system and other
cardiovascular body parts rather than 18
procedure codes. Of the 28 codes listed
in Table 6P.4b associated with the
proposed rule, 10 procedure codes were
duplicative, and erroneously included
in the table and in the total number of
codes referenced in the preamble. As
indicated in the final rule, after
consideration of the public comments
we received, we maintained the
designation of 15 procedure codes
identified by the commenters. For this
reason, we are also correcting Table
6P.4b associated with the final rule (as
discussed in section II.E. of this
correcting document) to reflect the 3
distinct procedure codes for which we
finalized a change in designation,
including to remove the listings of ICD–
10–PCS procedure codes 00H032Z
(Insertion of Monitoring Device into
Brain, Percutaneous Approach) and
00H632Z (Insertion of Monitoring
Device into Cerebral Ventricle,
Percutaneous Approach), which we
finalized to maintain as O.R. procedures
for FY 2018, and are making conforming
changes to the corresponding count of
codes listed in that table as indicated on
page 38068. Consistent with these
corrections, we are also correcting the
description of the proposal on page
38067 of the final rule. As a result of the
corrections to Table 6P.4b associated
with the final rule and the conforming
corrections on pages 38067 and 38068,
we have made conforming changes to
the ICD–10 MS–DRG Definitions
Manual Version 35 and ICD–10 MS–
DRG Grouper Software Version 35 for
FY 2018 to reflect the O.R. designation
of ICD–10–PCS procedure codes

Device into Brain, Percutaneous
Approach) and 00H632Z (Insertion of
Monitoring Device into Cerebral

finalized on page 38068 of the final rule
for FY 2018.
In addition, after publication of the
FY 2018 IPPS/LTCH PPS final rule, we
became aware that the logic for the ICD–
10 MS–DRG Definitions Manual Version
35 and the ICD–10 MS–DRG Grouper
and Medicare Code Editor (MCE)
Version 35 Software erroneously
designated the following ICD–10–PCS
procedure code as a non-O.R. procedure
rather than as an O.R. procedure as
finalized on page 38072 of the final rule
for FY 2018: 0BCC8ZZ (Extirpation of
matter from right upper lung lobe, via
natural or artificial opening
endoscopic). Therefore, we also made
changes to the ICD–10 MS–DRG
Definitions Manual Version 35 and the
ICD–10 MS–DRG Grouper and MCE
Version 35 Software to correctly reflect
the O.R. designation for this procedure
code for FY 2018.
We recalculated the FY 2018 MS–
DRG relative weights (and associated
statistics, such as average length of stay
(ALOS)) as a result of the corrections to
the logic for the ICD–10 MS–DRG
Grouper Version 35 Software discussed
above. In addition, since the MS–LTC–
DRGs used under the LTCH PPS for FY
2018 are the same as the MS DRGs used
under the IPPS for FY 2018 (and as such
use the same ICD–10 MS–DRG Grouper
Version 35 Software), we also
recalculated the FY 2018 MS–LTC–DRG
relative weights (and associated
statistics, such as geometric ALOS) for
the same reasons.
On page 38119, we made a technical
error in describing which ICD–10–PCS
procedure codes will be used to identify
cases involving ZINPLAVATM that are
eligible for new technology add-on
payments in FY 2018. Specifically,
cases involving ZINPLAVATM that are
eligible for new technology add-on
payments will be identified by either of
the ICD–10–PCS procedure codes listed
in the final rule (XW033A3 or
XW043A3) (rather than requiring the
combination of both ICD–10–PCS
procedure codes).
On pages 38132 and 38137, in our
discussion of the wage indexes, we
provided incorrect values for the FY
2018 national average hourly wage
(unadjusted for occupational mix) and
the FY 2018 occupational mix adjusted
national average hourly wage due to
inadvertent errors related to the wage
data collected from the Medicare cost
reports of six hospitals (CMS
Certification Numbers (CCNs) 240010,
420033, 420037, 420038, 420078, and

requirements of the Clean Air Act (CAA or Act) and EPA's rules that
require each state to submit periodic reports describing progress
towards reasonable progress goals (RPGs) established for regional haze
and a determination of the adequacy of the state's existing SIP
addressing regional haze (regional haze plan). EPA is finalizing
approval of Georgia's determination that the State's regional haze plan
is adequate to meet these RPGs for the first implementation period
covering through 2018 and requires no substantive revision at this
time.
DATES: This rule is effective November 3, 2017.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
States are required to submit a progress report in the form of a
SIP revision that evaluates progress towards the RPGs for each
mandatory Class I federal area \1\ (Class I area) within the state and
for each Class I area outside the state which may be affected by
emissions from within the state. 40 CFR 51.308(g). In addition, the
provisions of 40 CFR 51.308(h) require states to submit, at the same
time as the 40 CFR 51.308(g) progress report, a determination of the
adequacy of the state's existing regional haze plan. On January 8,
2014, Georgia submitted its Progress Report which, among other things,
details the progress made in the first period toward implementation of
the long term strategy outlined in the State's regional haze plan; the
visibility improvement measured at the three Class I areas within its
borders (Cohutta Wilderness Area, Okefenokee Wilderness Area, and Wolf
Island Wilderness Area) and at Class I areas
[[Page 46137]]
outside of the State potentially impacted by emissions from Georgia;
and a determination of the adequacy of the State's existing regional
haze plan.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ Areas designated as mandatory Class I federal areas consist
of national parks exceeding 6000 acres, wilderness areas and
national memorial parks exceeding 5000 acres, and all international
parks that were in existence on August 7, 1977 (42 U.S.C. 7472(a)).
These areas are listed at 40 CFR part 81, subpart D.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
In a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) published on August 15,
2017 (82 FR 38654), EPA proposed to approve Georgia's January 8, 2014,
Progress Report. The details of Georgia's submission and the rationale
for EPA's actions are explained in the NPRM. Comments on the proposed
rulemaking were due on or before September 14, 2017. EPA received no
adverse comments on the proposed action.
II. Final Action
EPA is finalizing approval of Georgia's January 8, 2014, Progress
Report as meeting the applicable regional haze requirements set forth
in 40 CFR 51.308(g) and 51.308(h).
III. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews
Under the CAA, the Administrator is required to approve a SIP
submission that complies with the provisions of the Act and applicable
federal regulations. See 42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 40 CFR 52.02(a). Thus, in
reviewing SIP submissions, EPA's role is to approve state choices,
provided that they meet the criteria of the Act. Accordingly, this
action merely approves state law as meeting federal requirements and
does not impose additional requirements beyond those imposed by state
law. For that reason, this action:
Is not a significant regulatory action subject to review
by the Office of Management and Budget under Executive Orders 12866 (58
FR 51735, October 4, 1993) and 13563 (76 FR 3821, January 21, 2011);
does not impose an information collection burden under the
provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.);
is certified as not having a significant economic impact
on a substantial number of small entities under the Regulatory
Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.);
does not contain any unfunded mandate or significantly or
uniquely affect small governments, as described in the Unfunded
Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-4);
does not have Federalism implications as specified in
Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999);
is not an economically significant regulatory action based
on health or safety risks subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR
19885, April 23, 1997);
is not a significant regulatory action subject to
Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001);
is not subject to requirements of Section 12(d) of the
National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272
note) because application of those requirements would be inconsistent
with the CAA; and
does not provide EPA with the discretionary authority to
address, as appropriate, disproportionate human health or environmental
effects, using practicable and legally permissible methods, under
Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994).
The SIP is not approved to apply on any Indian reservation land or
in any other area where EPA or an Indian tribe has demonstrated that a
tribe has jurisdiction. In those areas of Indian country, the rule does
not have tribal implications as specified by Executive Order 13175 (65
FR 67249, November 9, 2000), nor will it impose substantial direct
costs on tribal governments or preempt tribal law.
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 December 4, 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).
