SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

On December 8, 2014, (79 FR 72552), the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) published a final rulemaking action announcing the approval of Pennsylvania's requests to redesignate to attainment the Harrisburg-Lebanon-Carlisle and York nonattainment areas for the 1997 annual PM_2.5 NAAQS and the Harrisburg-Lebanon-Carlisle-York 2006 24-hour PM_2.5 NAAQS nonattainment area.

Need for Correction

As published, the final redesignation contains errors. EPA inadvertently added the word “Moderate” in the tables for the 1997 annual and the 2006 24-hour PM_2.5 NAAQS. The intent of the final rule was to redesignate the Areas to attainment. Moderate is a classification for nonattainment areas. This action corrects the tables of 40 CFR part 81 for Pennsylvania's 1997 annual and 2006 24-hour PM_2.5 NAAQS.

List of Subjects in 40 CFR Part 81

• Air pollution
• National Parks
• Wilderness areas

Dated: January 28, 2015.

Acting Regional Administrator, EPA Region III.

Accordingly, 40 CFR part 81 is corrected by making the following correcting amendments:
