Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Final rule; correction.
AGENCY:
The Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) is correcting a final rule
published in the Federal Register of
April 18, 2024, which will be effective
June 17, 2024. The final rule established
new emission standards for light-duty
and medium-duty motor vehicles. This
document corrects inadvertent errors
introduced in preparing the regulatory
text for publication. These corrections
do not include any substantives change
to the final rule.
DATES: This correction is effective June
17, 2024.
ADDRESSES: EPA has established a
docket for this action under Docket ID
No. EPA–HQ–OAR–2022–0829.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: EPA is
making the following corrections for
inadvertent errors in the regulatory text
for the final rule:
• Revising 40 CFR 85.2103(c) to
remove references to a nonexistent
paragraph (e).
• Revising 40 CFR 86.1 to remove
references to nonexistent sections
86.1823–01, 86.1824–01, and 86.1825–
01.
• Revising 40 CFR 86.1806–27(a)(7)
by referring to California’s LEV
standards in general instead of
specifically to the LEV III standards.
• Restoring the content of 40 CFR
86.1818–12(c)(4), which was
inadvertently over-written by re-
lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with RULES1
SUMMARY:
VerDate Sep<11>2014

organizing the section content. The
paragraph is moved to 40 CFR 86.1818–
12(a)(4). The restored paragraph
describes an option for waiving
greenhouse gas standards for emergency
vehicles.
• Eliminating the specific paragraph
reference for battery-related testing in 40
CFR 86.1829–15(a)(2)(ii). The intended
reference was to all of 40 CFR 86.1815–
27, where we discuss the range of
battery-related testing requirements that
apply. We note especially that batteryrelated testing requirements apply
differently for vehicles certified based
on California procedures as specified in
40 CFR 86.1815–27(h).
Section 553(b)(B) of the
Administrative Procedure Act, 5 U.S.C.
553(b)(B), provides that, when an
agency for good cause finds that public
notice and comment procedures are
impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary
to the public interest, the agency may
issue a rule without providing notice
and an opportunity for public comment.
EPA has determined that there is good
cause for making this technical
correction final without prior proposal.
Such notice and opportunity for
comment is unnecessary as the
technical corrections are for minor
typographical and other nonsubstantive
errors made in the final rule.
This final rule is effective June 17,
2024. Section 553(d)(3) of the
Administrative Procedure Act (‘‘APA’’),
5 U.S.C. 553(d), provides that final rules
shall not become effective until 30 days
after publication in the Federal Register
‘‘except . . . as otherwise provided by
the agency for good cause.’’ The purpose
of this provision is to ‘‘give affected
parties a reasonable time to adjust their
behavior before the final rule takes
effect.’’ Omnipoint Corp. v. Fed.
Commc’n Comm’n, 78 F.3d 620, 630
(D.C. Cir. 1996); see also United States
v. Gavrilovic, 551 F.2d 1099, 1104 (8th
Cir. 1977) (quoting legislative history).
Thus, in determining whether good
cause exists to waive the 30-day delay,
an agency should ‘‘balance the necessity
for immediate implementation against
principles of fundamental fairness
which require that all affected persons
be afforded a reasonable amount of time
to prepare for the effective date of its
ruling.’’ Gavrilovic, 551 F.2d at 1105.
EPA has determined that there is good
cause for making this final rule effective
less than 30 days after publication in the
Federal Register because the technical
corrections are for minor typographical
and other nonsubstantive errors made in
the final rule, these corrections will
address potential confusion for
regulated entities that could result if
these errors introduced during
PO 00000

preparation for publication are not
corrected prior to the effective date of
the final rule published in the Federal
Register of Monday, April 18, 2024, and
further time is not needed for regulated
entities to prepare for such corrections
prior to the effective date given the
nature of the corrections.
For these reasons, the agency finds
that good cause exists under APA
section 553(d)(3) to make this rule
effective June 17, 2024.

vehicles based on the thresholds
calculated for the corresponding bin
standards in the California LEV program
as prescribed for the latest model year
in 13 CCR 1968.2(d). For example, for
Tier 4 Bin 10 standards, apply the
threshold that applies for the LEV
standards. For cases involving Tier 4
standards that have no corresponding
bin standards from the California LEV
program, use the monitor threshold for
the next highest LEV bin. For example,
for Tier 4 Bin 5 and Bin 10 standards,
apply a threshold of 50 mg/mile (15 mg/
mile × 3.33). You may apply thresholds
that are more stringent than we require
under this paragraph (a)(7).

ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:
This document amends the
Table of FM Allotments, of the Federal
Communications Commission’s
(Commission) rules, by substituting
Channel 245B1 for vacant Channel 245B
at Mattoon, Illinois to resolve the
distance spacing conflict with Station
WHMS–FM and maintain a second local
FM service. A staff engineering analysis
determines that Channel 245B1 can be
allotted to Mattoon, Illinois consistent
with the minimum distance separation
requirements of the Commission’s rules
with a site restriction of 12.2 kilometers
(7.6 miles) southeast of the community
at reference coordinates 39–23–17 NL
and 88–17–21 WL. See SUPPLEMENTARY
INFORMATION.

6, 2024. The full text of this
Commission decision is available online

Document Format (PDF) at https://

not contain information collection
requirements subject to the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, Public Law 104–
13.
Channel 245B at Mattoon, Illinois is
not currently listed in the Table of FM
Allotments. Channel 245B is considered
a vacant allotment resulting from the
cancellation of the license for Station
DWLBH–FM. The vacant Channel 245B
at Mattoon is short-spaced to Station
WHMS–FM, Channel 248B, Champaign,
Illinois by ten kilometers. The minimum
distance spacing requirement of section
73.207(b) of the Commission’s rules is
74 kilometers.
The Commission will send a copy of
the Report and Order in a report to be
sent to Congress and the Government
Accountability Office pursuant to the
Congressional Review Act, see 5 U.S.C.
801(a)(1)(A).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: EPA is making the following corrections for
inadvertent errors in the regulatory text for the final rule:
Revising 40 CFR 85.2103(c) to remove references to a
nonexistent paragraph (e).
Revising 40 CFR 86.1 to remove references to nonexistent
sections 86.1823-01, 86.1824-01, and 86.1825-01.
Revising 40 CFR 86.1806-27(a)(7) by referring to
California's LEV standards in general instead of specifically to the
LEV III standards.
Restoring the content of 40 CFR 86.1818-12(c)(4), which
was inadvertently over-written by re-organizing the section content.
The paragraph is moved to 40 CFR 86.1818-12(a)(4). The restored
paragraph describes an option for waiving greenhouse gas standards for
emergency vehicles.
Eliminating the specific paragraph reference for battery-
related testing in 40 CFR 86.1829-15(a)(2)(ii). The intended reference
was to all of 40 CFR 86.1815-27, where we discuss the range of battery-
related testing requirements that apply. We note especially that
battery-related testing requirements apply differently for vehicles
certified based on California procedures as specified in 40 CFR

Section 553(b)(B) of the Administrative Procedure Act, 5 U.S.C.
553(b)(B), provides that, when an agency for good cause finds that
public notice and comment procedures are impracticable, unnecessary, or
contrary to the public interest, the agency may issue a rule without

the Administrative Procedure Act (``APA''), 5 U.S.C. 553(d), provides
that final rules shall not become effective until 30 days after
publication in the Federal Register ``except . . . as otherwise
provided by the agency for good cause.'' The purpose of this provision
is to ``give affected parties a reasonable time to adjust their

making this final rule effective less than 30 days after publication in
the Federal Register because the technical corrections are for minor

these corrections will address potential confusion for regulated
entities that could result if these errors introduced during
