The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is correcting a direct final rule that appeared in the Federal Register on June 5, 2017.

An approved and promulgated negative declaration exempts a state from certain implementation plan development requirements of Clean Air Act sections 111 and 129. An error in the proposed regulatory text amending 40 CFR part 62 is identified and corrected in this action.
