I. Order
By this Order, the Commission
corrects paragraphs (j)(1) and (k) of
§ 27.53 of the Commission’s rules 1 to
update each paragraphs’ incorrect crossreference to the section’s paragraph
(a)(4). The Commission had
inadvertently failed to update those
cross-references in 2010 when it
renumbered paragraph (a)(4) as (a)(5).
Section 27.53 addresses the emission
limits for various Part 27 services, and,
according to the current language of
paragraphs (j)(1) and (k), compliance
with the emission limits for the bands
identified in those paragraphs ‘‘is based
on the procedures described in
paragraph (a)(4) of this [S]ection.’’ 2
Paragraph (a)(4), however, does not
contain any such procedures; rather, it
sets forth wattage amounts by which the
power of certain emissions must be
attenuated. The next subparagraph in
paragraph (a)—i.e., paragraph (a)(5)—is
entitled ‘‘Measurement procedure’’ and
contains the compliance procedures that
paragraphs (j) and (k) had referenced
before the Commission added paragraph
(a)(4) in 2010.3 At that time, when the
Commission renumbered the old
paragraph (a)(4) as (a)(5) to
accommodate the new paragraph (a)(4),
it neglected to update the paragraphs
(j)(1) and (k) cross-reference to the
1 47
CFR 27.53(j)(1), (k).

provision that had been renumbered as
paragraph (a)(5). And since that time,
paragraphs (j)(1) and (k) have continued
to refer incorrectly to paragraph (a)(4) as
containing the measurement procedures
for compliance, rather than paragraph
(a)(5). The Commission therefore
corrects this error by amending
paragraphs (j)(1) and (k) to change the
cross-reference to paragraph (a)(5).
The Commission finds it appropriate
to forego a notice-and-comment period
prior to this Order taking effect, given
the administrative nature and limited
impact of this rule correction. The
Administrative Procedure Act (APA)
provides that notice procedures are not
required where ‘‘the agency for good
cause finds (and incorporates the
finding and a brief statement of reasons
therefor in the rules issued) that notice
and public procedure thereon are
impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary
to the public interest.’’ 4 Here, the
Commission finds, for good cause, that
using such procedure to correct an
outdated cross-reference in paragraphs
(j)(1) and (k) of § 27.53—an inadvertent
error that arose out of the failure to
make a ministerial adjustment to the
cross-reference when the subparagraphs
of that section’s paragraph (a) were
renumbered—is unnecessary and
contrary to the public interest because it
would needlessly prolong an obvious
inaccuracy in the rules, delay the return
of the rules’ language to its clearly
intended meaning, and fail to yield any
of the public interest benefits that notice
and comment procedures are designed
to produce. The APA also requires
publication of a substantive rule at least
30 days before its effective date ‘‘except
as otherwise provided by the agency for
good cause found and published with
the rule.’’ 5 For the same reasons that the
Commission foregoes notice-andcomment procedures, the Commission
finds good cause to make this correction
to § 27.53(j)(1) and (k) effective
immediately upon publication in the
Federal Register.

I. Order
By this Order, the Commission corrects paragraphs (j)(1) and (k) of
Sec. 27.53 of the Commission's rules \1\ to update each paragraphs'
incorrect cross-reference to the section's paragraph (a)(4). The
Commission had inadvertently failed to update those cross-references in
2010 when it renumbered paragraph (a)(4) as (a)(5). Section 27.53
addresses the emission limits for various Part 27 services, and,
according to the current language of paragraphs (j)(1) and (k),
compliance with the emission limits for the bands identified in those
paragraphs ``is based on the procedures described in paragraph (a)(4)
of this [S]ection.'' \2\ Paragraph (a)(4), however, does not contain
any such procedures; rather, it sets forth wattage amounts by which the
power of certain emissions must be attenuated. The next subparagraph in
paragraph (a)--i.e., paragraph (a)(5)--is entitled ``Measurement
procedure'' and contains the compliance procedures that paragraphs (j)
and (k) had referenced before the Commission added paragraph (a)(4) in
2010.\3\ At that time, when the Commission renumbered the old paragraph
(a)(4) as (a)(5) to accommodate the new paragraph (a)(4), it neglected
to update the paragraphs (j)(1) and (k) cross-reference to the
provision that had been renumbered as paragraph (a)(5). And since that
time, paragraphs (j)(1) and (k) have continued to refer incorrectly to
paragraph (a)(4) as containing the measurement procedures for
compliance, rather than paragraph (a)(5). The Commission therefore
corrects this error by amending paragraphs (j)(1) and (k) to change the
cross-reference to paragraph (a)(5).

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Commission finds it appropriate to forego a notice-and-comment
period prior to this Order taking effect, given the administrative
nature and limited impact of this rule correction. The Administrative
Procedure Act (APA) provides that notice procedures are not required
where ``the agency for good cause finds (and incorporates the finding
and a brief statement of reasons therefor in the rules issued) that
notice and public procedure thereon are impracticable, unnecessary, or
contrary to the public interest.'' \4\ Here, the Commission finds, for
good cause, that using such procedure to correct an outdated cross-
reference in paragraphs (j)(1) and (k) of Sec. 27.53--an inadvertent
error that arose out of the failure to make a ministerial adjustment to
the cross-reference when the subparagraphs of that section's paragraph
(a) were renumbered--is unnecessary and contrary to the public interest
because it would needlessly prolong an obvious inaccuracy in the rules,
delay the return of the rules' language to its clearly intended
meaning, and fail to yield any of the public interest benefits that
notice and comment procedures are designed to produce. The APA also
requires publication of a substantive rule at least 30 days before its
effective date ``except as otherwise provided by the agency for good
cause found and published with the rule.'' \5\ For the same reasons
that the Commission foregoes notice-and-comment procedures, the
Commission finds good cause to make this correction to Sec.
27.53(j)(1) and (k) effective immediately upon publication in the
Federal Register.
