ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 81
[ID12-1-6992; FRL-5204-9]
Designation of Areas for Air Quality Planning Purposes; Idaho;
Designation of a Portion of Shoshone County, Idaho, to Nonattainment
for Particulate Matter (PM-10); Correction
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Final rule; correction.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The City of Pinehurst in Shoshone County, Idaho, was
designated nonattainment for PM-10 by operation of law upon enactment
of the 1990 Clean Air Act Amendments. Effective January 20, 1994, EPA
approved the redesignation of an additional area in Shoshone County,
adjacent to the City of Pinehurst, as nonattainment for PM-10. See 58
FR 67334, 67339 (December 21, 1993) and 40 CFR 81.313 (codified air
quality designations for the State of Idaho). That document included a
legal description of the expanded portion of the nonattainment area
(the ``Pinehurst expansion area''). The legal description, however,
contained several typographical errors and described the area in a more
complex manner than necessary. This document corrects the typographical
errors and simplifies and standardizes the legal description. This
document is not intended to, and does not, change the area designated
as nonattainment in the December 21, 1993, Federal Register document,
as codified at 40 CFR 81.313. Rather, this document is intended to make
the description of the Pinehurst expansion area easier to understand.
EFFECTIVE DATE: This correction is effective May 11, 1995.

Office, 1435 N. Orchard St., Boise, ID 83706, (208) 334-9555.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This document makes three types of
correction to the legal description of the Pinehurst expansion area.
First, the legal description of the Pinehurst expansion area published
at 58 FR 67339 and codified at 40 CFR 81.313 contained several
typographical omissions which are shown below in bold and brackets:
That portion of Shoshone County excluding the initial PM-10
[nonattainment area]: Including the South half of Southeast quarter
of Section 31 of Range 2 east, Township 49 [north]; South quarter of
Section 32 of Range 2 east, Township 49 north[;] Section 5 of Range
2 east, Township 48 north[;]-east half of Section 6 of Range 2 east,
Township 48 north[;]west quarter of Section 8 of Range 2 east,
Township 48 North; and excluding that portion of Shoshone County
designated nonattainment for PM-10 on November 15, 1990.
Specifically, three words and three semi-colons were erroneously
omitted from the description. This document corrects those errors.
Second, in the December 21, 1993, Federal Register document and its
later codification at 40 CFR 81.313, the Pinehurst expansion area was
described by first giving the legal description of the expansion area
and City of Pinehurst and then excluding ``the area in Shoshone County
which was designated nonattainment for PM-10 on November 15, 1990.''
That area is, in fact, the City of Pinehurst. In other words, the
Pinehurst expansion area was essentially described as ``the Pinehurst
expansion area plus the City of Pinehurst, excluding the City of
Pinehurst.''
Third, the legal description of the Pinehurst expansion area as
previously published was further complicated by the fact that the area
was described somewhat unconventionally as the ``west quarter of
Section 8, Range 2 east, Township 48 north.'' EPA is issuing this
correction document to simplify the description and conform the
description to standard surveying conventions.
