lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with RULES1
I. Background and Purpose
On October 1, 2018, a Final Rule
published at 83 FR 49297 (FR doc.
2018–21150). EPA has identified the
need for a typographical correction to
the regulatory text approved into the
Code of Federal Regulations by FR Rule
Doc. 2018–21150. The typographical
error appears on page 49298, in the
second column, in § 52.377, in
amendment 2, within the added
paragraph (t).
II. Final Action
The EPA is revising a final rule that
was published in the Federal Register
on October 1, 2018, which became
effective on October 31, 2018, correcting
a typographical error to 40 CFR
52.377(t). The final rule approved SIP
revisions submitted by the State of
Connecticut to address SIP revisions
submitted to meet moderate area
nonattainment requirements for the
2008 ozone standard. The SIP revisions
are for the Greater Connecticut and the
Connecticut portion of the New YorkNorthern New Jersey-Long Island, NYNJ-CT moderate ozone nonattainment
areas, and include these areas 2011 base

year emissions inventories, an
emissions statement certification, RFP
demonstrations, RACM analyses, motor
vehicle emissions budgets, and
contingency measures. This revision
does not change any final action taken
by EPA on October 1, 2018; this action
merely corrects the CAA citation for
moderate area contingency measures.
We have determined that there is good
cause for making this rule final without
prior proposal and opportunity for
comment because we are merely
correcting an incorrect citation in a
previous action. Thus, notice and public
procedure are unnecessary. We find that
this constitutes good cause under 5
U.S.C. 553(b)(B).
III. Statutory and Executive Order
Reviews
Under the Clean Air Act, the
Administrator is required to approve a
SIP submission that complies with the
provisions of the Act and applicable
Federal regulations. 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 Clean Air 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
PO 00000
Frm 00038
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
Technology Transfer and Advancement
Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272 note) because
application of those requirements would
be inconsistent with the Clean Air Act;
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).
In addition, 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 and will not impose
substantial direct costs on tribal
governments or preempt tribal law as
specified by Executive Order 13175 (65
FR 67249, November 9, 2000).
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).

per day of VOC and 22.2 tons per day
of NOX to be used in transportation
conformity in the Greater Connecticut
moderate ozone nonattainment area.
The August 8, 2017 revision establishes
motor vehicle emissions budgets for
2017 of 17.6 tons per day of VOC and
24.6 tons per day of NOX to be used in
transportation conformity in the
Connecticut portion of the New YorkNorthern New Jersey-Long Island, NYNJ-CT moderate ozone nonattainment

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is amending approved
State Implementation Plan (SIP) revisions submitted by the State of
Connecticut to address SIP revisions submitted to meet moderate area
nonattainment requirements for the 2008 ozone standard. The SIP
revisions are for the Greater Connecticut and the Connecticut portion
of the New York-Northern New Jersey-Long Island, NY-NJ-CT moderate
ozone nonattainment areas, and include these areas 2011 base year
emissions inventories, an emissions statement certification, reasonable
further progress (RFP) demonstrations, reasonably available control
measures (RACM) analyses, motor vehicle emissions budgets, and
contingency measures. This rule does not change any final action taken
by EPA in an earlier final rule published on October 1, 2018; this
action merely corrects the Clean Air Act (CAA) citation for moderate
area contingency measures.

Table of Contents
I. Background and Purpose
II. Final Action
III. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews
I. Background and Purpose
On October 1, 2018, a Final Rule published at 83 FR 49297 (FR doc.
2018-21150). EPA has identified the need for a typographical correction
to the regulatory text approved into the Code of Federal Regulations by
FR Rule Doc. 2018-21150. The typographical error appears on page 49298,
in the second column, in Sec. 52.377, in amendment 2, within the added
paragraph (t).
II. Final Action
The EPA is revising a final rule that was published in the Federal
Register on October 1, 2018, which became effective on October 31,
2018, correcting a typographical error to 40 CFR 52.377(t). The final
rule approved SIP revisions submitted by the State of Connecticut to
address SIP revisions submitted to meet moderate area nonattainment
requirements for the 2008 ozone standard. The SIP revisions are for the
Greater Connecticut and the Connecticut portion of the New York-
Northern New Jersey-Long Island, NY-NJ-CT moderate ozone nonattainment
areas, and include these areas 2011 base year emissions inventories, an
emissions statement certification, RFP demonstrations, RACM analyses,
motor vehicle emissions budgets, and contingency measures. This
revision does not change any final action taken by EPA on October 1,
2018; this action merely corrects the CAA citation for moderate area
contingency measures. We have determined that there is good cause for
making this rule final without prior proposal and opportunity for
comment because we are merely correcting an incorrect citation in a
previous action. Thus, notice and public procedure are unnecessary. We
find that this constitutes good cause under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B).
III. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews
Under the Clean Air Act, the Administrator is required to approve a
SIP submission that complies with the provisions of the Act and
applicable Federal regulations. 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 Clean Air 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

In addition, 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 and will not impose
substantial direct costs on tribal governments or preempt tribal law as
specified by Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000).
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).

emissions budgets for 2017 of 15.9 tons per day of VOC and 22.2 tons
per day of NOX to be used in transportation conformity in
the Greater Connecticut moderate ozone nonattainment area. The August

of 17.6 tons per day of VOC and 24.6 tons per day of NOX to
be used in transportation conformity in the Connecticut portion of the
New York-Northern New Jersey-Long Island, NY-NJ-CT moderate ozone
