SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

The EPA finalized procedures to allow certain facilities to request approval to use an alternate liner for CCR surface impoundments (85 FR 72506, November 12, 2020), but after publication the Agency identified a typographical error in one of the amendatory instructions. Specifically, instruction 6 directed that paragraphs (f)(14) through (23) be added to § 257.105. However, an additional paragraph (f)(24) was also set out under § 257.105 that the Agency failed to include in instruction 6. See 85 FR 72543. That is, EPA intended instruction 6 to read “Amend § 257.105 by adding paragraphs (f)(14) through (24) to read as follows:” This document corrects instruction 6 by directing that paragraphs (f)(14) through (24) be added to § 257.105 as intended.

Correction

In FR Doc. 2020-23327, appearing on page 72506 in the Federal Register of Thursday, November 12, 2020, on page 72543, in the first column, correct instruction 6 to read as follows:
