    AGENCY:

    Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

    ACTION:

    Final rule; technical correction.

    SUMMARY:

    On January 12, 2004, at 69 FR 1677, EPA published a final rule updating the materials incorporated by reference (IBR) into the Kentucky State Implementation Plan (SIP). This document corrects two errors in the amendatory language in the final rule.

    DATES:

    This correction is effective April 9, 2004.

    SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

    EPA published a document on January 12, 2004, (69 FR 1677) which inadvertently excluded paragraph (e) from the list of paragraphs amended in 40 CFR 52.920 under Subpart S-Kentucky. The document also did not clearly state that only “Table 1-EPA-Approved Kentucky Regulations” of paragraph (c) was to be replaced in its entirety, leaving “Table 2-EPA-Approved Jefferson County Regulations for Kentucky” intact. As a result, Table 2 was inadvertently removed from paragraph (c).

    This document corrects the erroneous amendatory language and reinstates Table 2 in its entirety. By this action, the amendatory instructions are replaced in their entirety in the final rule published on January 12, 2004, at 69 FR 1677, on page 1678 in the third column, number 2 of Subpart S, Part 52. These amended instructions include paragraph (e) as one of the paragraphs revised in this IBR update to the Kentucky SIP and specify that Table 2 is to be reinstated under paragraph (c). The only change made to Table 2 is a clarification to the rule publication dates in two instances. Under the column, “EPA approval date,” all rule effective date entries of “11/23/01” and “12/19/02” are replaced with the rule publication dates of “10/23/01” and “11/19/02,” respectively. This change is consistent with other entries of this type in the table and makes it easier for the public to reference the respective documents. Also, one correction was made to the title of Regulation 8.03 to insert the word “Requirements” as follows: “Commuter Vehicle Testing Requirements.”

    EPA has determined that today's rule falls under the “good cause” exemption in section 553(b)(3)(B) of the Administrative Procedures Act (APA) which, upon finding “good cause,” authorizes agencies to dispense with public participation and section 553(d)(3) which allows an agency to make a rule effective immediately (thereby avoiding the 30-day delayed effective date otherwise provided for in the APA). Today's rule simply codifies provisions which are already in effect as a matter of law in Federal and approved state programs. Under section 553 of the APA, an agency may find good cause where procedures are “impractical, unnecessary, or contrary to the public interest.” Public comment is “unnecessary” and “contrary to the public interest” since the codification only reflects existing law. Immediate notice in the CFR benefits the public by updating citations.

    Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    Under Executive Order 12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993), this action is not a “significant regulatory action” and therefore is not subject to review by the Office of Management and Budget. For this reason, this action is also not subject to Executive Order 13211, “Actions Concerning Regulations That Significantly Affect Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use” (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001). This action merely approves state law as meeting Federal requirements and imposes no additional requirements beyond those imposed by state law. Accordingly, the Administrator certifies that this rule will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.). Because this rule approves pre-existing requirements under state law and does not impose any additional enforceable duty beyond that required by state law, it 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).

    This rule also does not have tribal implications because it will not have a substantial direct effect on one or more Indian tribes, on the relationship between the Federal Government and Indian tribes, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities between the Federal Government and Indian tribes, as specified by Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000). This action also does not have Federalism implications because it does 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 government, as specified in Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999). This action merely approves a state rule implementing a Federal standard, and does not alter the relationship or the distribution of power and responsibilities established in the Clean Air Act. This rule also is not subject to Executive Order 13045 “Protection of Children from Environmental Health Risks and Safety Risks” (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997), because it is not economically significant.

    In reviewing SIP submissions, EPA's role is to approve state choices, provided that they meet the criteria of the Clean Air Act. In this context, in the absence of a prior existing requirement for the State to use voluntary consensus standards (VCS), EPA has no authority to disapprove a SIP submission for failure to use VCS. It would thus be inconsistent with applicable law for EPA, when it reviews a SIP submission, to use VCS in place of a SIP submission that otherwise satisfies the provisions of the Clean Air Act. 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. This rule does not impose an information collection burden under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.).

    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 rule and other required information to the U.S. Senate, Start Printed Page 18816the 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).

    Under section 307(b)(1) of the Clean Air Act, petitions for judicial review of this action must be filed in the United States Court of Appeals for the appropriate circuit by June 8, 2004. Filing a petition for reconsideration by the Administrator of this final rule does not affect the finality of this rule for the purposes of judicial review nor does it extend the time within which a petition for judicial review may be filed, and shall not postpone the effectiveness of such rule or action. This action may not be challenged later in proceedings to enforce its requirements. (See section 307(b)(2).)
