ACTION: Final rule; correction. AGENCY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is making corrections to the Review of Final Rule Reclassification of Major Sources as Area Sources Under Section 112 of the Clean Air Act (CAA) final rule that appeared in the Federal Register on September 10, 2024. Following publication of this final rule, the EPA discovered an inadvertent typographical error in the regulatory text and is correcting the error in this action.

Alexander Drive, P.O. Box 12055, RTP, North Carolina 27711; telephone number: (919) 541–1548; and email address: kennedy.john@epa.gov. SUMMARY: I. Summary of Final Action The EPA is making a correction to the Review of Final Rule Reclassification of Major Sources as Area Sources Under Section 112 of the Clean Air Act (CAA) final rule that appeared in the Federal Register on September 10, 2024 (89 FR 73293). In the September 10, 2024, final rule, the EPA amended 40 CFR 63.1(c)(6) to include a requirement that sources subject to certain major source NESHAP used to meet the Agency’s obligations under the CAA for seven specific persistent and bioaccumulative PO 00000 Frm 00012 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 pollutants must remain subject to those NESHAP even if the sources reclassify to area source status. Following publication of this final rule, the EPA discovered an inadvertent typographical error in the regulatory text in 40 CFR 63.1(c)(6) and is correcting the error in this action. Specifically, as finalized on September 10, 2024, the regulatory text in 40 CFR 63.1(c)(6)(iii) included a reference to 40 CFR part 63 subpart HHH (National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants from Natural Gas Transmission and Storage Facilities) instead of the correct reference, 40 CFR part 63 subpart MMM (National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Pesticide Active Ingredient Production). This error was included in the table of CAA 112(c)(6) categories placed in the docket for the Review of Final Rule Reclassification of Major Sources as Area Sources Under Section 112 of the Clean Air Act (docket ID: EPA–HQ–OAR–2023–0330–0033). The table included the correct source category rule name, National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Pesticide Active Ingredient Production, but instead of referencing the correct regulation reference to 40 CFR part 63 subpart MMM, it referenced 40 CFR part 63 subpart HHH. This error found in the table included in the docket was cross referenced in the regulatory text of the final rulemaking. This action corrects this inadvertent typographical error by removing the reference to 40 CFR part 63 subpart HHH from 40 CFR 63.1(c)(6)(iii) and adding the correct reference to 40 CFR part 63 subpart MMM. II. Rulemaking Procedures The EPA’s authority for the rulemaking procedures followed in this action is provided by the Administrative Procedure Act (APA), 5 U.S.C. 553. In general, an agency issuing a rule must provide prior notice and an opportunity for public comment, but APA section 553(b)(B) includes an exemption from notice-and-comment requirements ‘‘when the agency for good cause finds (and incorporates the finding and a brief statement of reasons therefor in the rule issued) that notice and public procedure thereon are impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to the public interest.’’ This action is being issued without prior notice or opportunity for public comment because the EPA finds that the APA ‘‘good cause’’ exemption from notice-and-comment requirements applies here. Following notice-and-comment procedures is unnecessary for this action. This action corrects a E:\FR\FM\07JAR1.SGM 07JAR1
