SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

EPA is making two corrections for inadvertent errors in the amendatory instructions for the final rule:

• Instruction 42 refers to removing 40 CFR part 86, subpart I, for smoke test procedures, but mistakenly identifies section numbers associated with 40 CFR part 86, subpart L, instead of the section numbers associated with 40 CFR part 86, subpart I.
• Instruction 104 refers to amending 40 CFR 1037.125(a), but should have referred more specifically to amending 40 CFR 1037.125 (a) introductory text.

Section 553(b)(B) of the Administrative Procedure Act, 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B), provides that, when an agency for good cause finds that public notice and comment procedures are impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to the public interest, the agency may issue a rule without providing notice and an opportunity for public comment. EPA has determined that there is good cause for making this technical correction final without prior proposal and opportunity for comment because such notice and opportunity for comment is unnecessary as the technical correction is for minor typographical, non-substantive errors only.
