ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 52
[Region VII Tracking No. 088-1088; FRL-6501-4]
Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans;
State of Iowa; Correction
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Final rule; correcting amendment.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This document corrects an error in the amendatory instruction
in a direct final rule pertaining to the Cedar Rapids, Iowa, attainment
and maintenance of the sulfur dioxide National Ambient Air Quality
Standard regulation.
EFFECTIVE DATE: December 7, 1999.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Edward West at (913) 551-7330.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: EPA published a document on March 11, 1999
(64 FR 12087), inadvertently omitting a revision to the nonregulatory
tables in paragraph (e). This document adds that revision.
Administrative Requirements
Under Executive Order (E.O.) 12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993),
this action is not a ``significant regulatory action'' and is therefore
not subject to review by the Office of Management and Budget. In
addition, this action does not impose any enforceable duty or contain
any unfunded mandate as described in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act
of 1995 (Public Law 104-4), or require prior consultation with state
officials as specified by E.O. 12875 (58 FR 58093, October 28, 1993),
or involve special consideration of environmental justice related
issues as required by E.O. 12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994).
Because this corrective rulemaking action is not subject to notice-
and-comment requirements under the Administrative Procedure Act or any
other statute, it is not subject to the provisions of the Regulatory
Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 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 United States Senate, the United States
House of Representatives, and the Comptroller General of the United
States prior to publication of the rule in the Federal Register. This
amendment to the rule for the Cedar Rapids, Iowa, attainment and
maintenance of the sulfur dioxide National Ambient Air Quality Standard
regulation is not a ``major rule'' as defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2).
Dated: November 9, 1999.
