SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On August 6, 1997 (62 FR 42216), EPA approved several minor
revisions to the Washington State Implementation Plan (SIP) which
revised certain regulations of the Puget Sound Air Pollution Control
Agency (PSAPCA). An error occurred in the paragraph number cited in the
Identification of Plan section. The incorrect paragraph number
published was (73), this action corrects the paragraph number to (74).
Administrative Requirements
Under Executive Order (E.O.) 12866, Regulatory Planning and Review
(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 (Pub.L. 104-4),
or require prior consultation with State officials as specified by
Executive Order 12875 (58 FR 58093, October 28, 1993), or involve
special consideration of environmental justice related issues as
required by Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994).
Because this action is not subject to notice-and-comment
requirements under the Administrative Procedure Act or any other
statute, is not subject to the regulatory flexibility provisions of the
Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.).
The final rule is not subject to E.O. 13045, entitled ``Protection
of Children from Environmental Health Risks and Safety Risks,'' because
it is not an ``economically significant'' action under E.O. 12866.
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 U.S. Senate, the U.S. House of
Representatives, and the Comptroller General of the United States prior
to publication of the rule in the Federal Register. This rule is not a
``major rule'' as defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2).
