FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Olivia Davidson, Environmental Scientist, Attainment Planning and Maintenance Section, Air Programs Branch (AR–18J), Environmental Protection Agency, Region 5, 77 West Jackson Boulevard, Chicago, Illinois 60604, (312) 886–0266, davidson.olivia@epa.gov. EPA published a final rule redesignating the Ohio portion of the Cincinnati area to attainment of the 2015 ozone NAAQS on June 9, 2022 (87 FR 35104). That rule also approved VOC and NOX Budgets for the Ohio portion of the Cincinnati area for transportation conformity purposes. In that rule, EPA erroneously identified the 2015 ozone Budgets as 14.15 and 10.58 tons per day (tpd) for NOX in 2026 and 2035, respectively, and 25.30 and 18.98 tpd for VOC in 2026 and 2035, respectively. The table in that action conflicts with the Budgets submitted by Ohio and set forth in the proposed rule. The Budgets submitted by Ohio are 14.15 and 10.58 tpd for VOC in 2026 and 2035, and 25.30 and 18.98 tpd in 2026 and 2035 for NOX. Therefore, the table is being revised to reflect the correct Budgets. Section 553 of the Administrative Procedure Act, 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B), provides that, when an agency for good cause finds that notice and public procedure are impracticable, unnecessary or contrary to the public interest, the agency may issue a rule without providing notice and an opportunity for public comment. 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). lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with RULES1 SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:22 Jan 27, 2023 Jkt 259001 Statutory and Executive Order Reviews This action is not a significant regulatory action subject to review by the Office of Management and Budget under Executive Orders (E.O.s) 12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993) and 13563 (76 FR 3821, January 21, 2011). This action does not impose an information collection burden under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.). Because the agency has made a ‘‘good cause’’ finding that this action is not subject to notice-andcomment requirements under the Administrative Procedures Act or any other statute as indicated in the section above, it is not subject to the regulatory flexibility provisions of the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C 601 et seq.), or to sections 202 and 205 of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (UMRA) (Pub. L. 104–4). This action will not have substantial direct effects on the States, on the relationship between the National Government and the States, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities among the various levels of governments, as specified by E.O. 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999). In addition, the State Implementation Plan (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 E.O. 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000). This action is not subject to E.O. 13045 (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997), because it is not economically significant. This action is also not subject to E.O. 13211, ‘‘Actions Concerning Regulations That Significantly Affect Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use’’ (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001). This technical correction action does not involve technical standards; thus the requirements of section 12(d) of the National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272 note) do not apply. The action also does not involve special consideration of environmental justice related issues as required by E.O. 12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994). This action is subject to the Congressional Review Act (CRA), and EPA will submit a rule report to each House of the Congress and to the Comptroller General of the United States. Section 808 allows the issuing agency to make a rule effective sooner than otherwise provided by the CRA if the agency makes a good cause finding PO 00000 Frm 00068 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 that notice and public procedure is impracticable, unnecessary or contrary to the public interest. This determination must be supported by a brief statement. 5 U.S.C. 808(2). As stated previously, EPA had made such a good cause finding, including the reasons therefore, and established an effective date of January 30, 2023. This correction to 40 CFR 52 for Ohio is not a ‘‘major rule’’ as defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2).

ACTION: Direct final rule. lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with RULES1 AGENCY: The Office of Hearings and Appeals (OHA) is amending department regulations to provide parties to a hearing or appeal the option of sending and receiving documents electronically; SUMMARY: VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:22 Jan 27, 2023 Jkt 259001 to specifically recognize the OHA Director’s authority to issue Standing Orders to provide procedural information to parties and the public; and to make clear that OHA will communicate information on how and where to file and serve documents through OHA Standing Orders issued by the Director and posted on OHA’s Department of the Interior website. This rule removes specific office addresses, some outdated, from the regulatory text and provides for up-to-date contact information to be provided in OHA Standing Orders on Contact Information. This rule further provides that OHA may issue Standing Orders to provide procedural information in an emergency or to address an immediate need, such as an office closure, natural disaster or other unanticipated event. This rule, and the associated Standing Orders, would not add to, change, or diminish any substantive rights of any parties or the public. DATES: This rule is effective on March 16, 2023 without further notice, unless OHA receives significant adverse written comment by March 1, 2023 on the amendments. If significant adverse comments are received on the amendments, OHA will publish a timely withdrawal in the Federal Register clarifying which provisions will become effective and which provisions are being withdrawn due to adverse comment. ADDRESSES: You may send comments, identified by Docket No. DOI–2022– 0010 by any of the following methods: • Federal eRulemaking Portal: https://www.regulations.gov (our preferred method). Follow the online instructions for submitting comments. • Mail: Office of Hearings and Appeals, 801 North Quincy Avenue, Suite 300, Arlington, VA 22203. • Hand/Courier Delivery: Office of Hearings and Appeals, 801 North Quincy Avenue, Suite 300, Arlington, VA 22203. OHA’s hours of operation are 8:30 a.m.–4:30 p.m., Monday–Friday (except federal holidays). Instructions: All submissions received must include Docket No. DOI–2022– 0010 for this rulemaking. Comments received may be posted without change to https://www.regulations.gov, including any personal information provided. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Rachel Lukens, Counsel to the Director, Office of Hearings and Appeals, DIR@ oha.doi.gov, (703) 235–3810. Individuals in the United States who are deaf, blind, hard of hearing, or have a speech disability may dial 711 (TTY, TDD, or TeleBraille) to access telecommunications relay services. PO 00000 Frm 00069 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 5789 Individuals outside the United States should use the relay services offered within their country to make international calls to the point-ofcontact in the United States. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: OHA is modernizing its practice and improving services to the parties who appear before OHA and the public. OHA is issuing this rule to update its regulations in 43 CFR part 4 to provide the option to send and receive documents electronically, obtain up-todate contact information and procedural information through the use of Standing Orders, and to remove outdated or unnecessary references in the existing regulations. These revisions do not impose new obligations on parties or the public. For example, parties may still submit paper documents but will have the option under the revised regulations to submit documents electronically. Because the rule does not diminish any substantive rights or require parties to alter their current procedural practices, we are publishing this rule without a prior proposal because of its noncontroversial nature. Nonetheless, this rule will not become effective until the date specified in DATES so that we may receive public comment on the rule. If we receive significant adverse comments by the comment due date specified in DATES, we will publish a document in the Federal Register withdrawing the rule, in whole or in part, before the rule goes into effect. Significant adverse comments are comments that provide strong justification as to why our rule should not be adopted or why it should be changed. The backdrop for this Direct Final Rule is OHA’s interest in providing electronic transmission options as an improved service as well as establishing how it will communicate new processes as they are developed. In March 2020, at the onset of the COVID–19 pandemic, OHA reviewed its options to use existing technology to quickly meet the needs of parties, the public, and its employees and posted this information on the OHA website. OHA offered, where possible, the option of using electronic mail to transmit documents to certain OHA units, allowing many cases to proceed without the need for trips to the office or post office. This was intended to serve as a limited short-term solution since electronic mail restricts the size of the files that may be transmitted and because OHA’s regulations, in some subparts, utilized terms, such as references to paper, that potentially limited OHA’s ability to offer an electronic transmission option.
