ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 52
[MD033-7157; FRL-5844-3]
Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans;
Maryland 1990 Base Year Emission Inventory; Correction
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Direct final rule; correcting amendments.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This document corrects inadvertent errors in amendatory
instructions in three direct final rules pertaining to the Maryland
1990 base year emission inventory for ozone.
DATES: Effective June 26, 1997.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Rose Quinto at (215) 566-2182 or by e-
mail at quinto.rose@epamail.epa.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: EPA published a document on September 27,
1996 (61 FR 50715) inadvertently adding a Sec. 52.1075 when that
section already existed. The intent of the rule was to amend that
section by adding a paragraph (c). That rule was also intended to
revise the section heading. On December 3, 1996 (61 FR 64028) and April
23, 1997 (62 FR 19679), EPA published two other documents to amend the
same section, but neither document addressed the erroneous ``adding''
of the already-existing section. This document corrects the erroneous
amendatory language in the three documents.
In the direct final rule (FR Docket 96-24524) published in the
Federal Register on September 27, 1996 (61 FR 50715), on page 50717 in
the third column, the second amendatory instruction is corrected to
read--``2. Section 52.1075 is amended by adding a paragraph (c ) to
read as follows:'' and the new text is designated as paragraph (c).
In the direct final rule (FR Docket 96-30476) published in the
Federal Register on December 3, 1996 (61 FR 64028), on page 64029 in
the first column, the second amendatory instruction is corrected to
read as follows:
``2. Section 52.1075 is amended by revising the heading and adding
paragraph (d) to read as follows:'' and the new text is designated as
paragraph (d).
In the direct final rule (FR Docket 97-10508) published in the
Federal Register on April 23, 1997. (62 FR 19676) make the following
correction--
[[Page 34406]]
on page 19679, in the first column, the third amendatory instruction
is corrected to read as follows:
``3. Section 52.1075 is amended by adding paragraph (e) to read as
follows:'' and the new text is designated as paragraph (e).
Administrative Requirements
Under Executive Order 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 (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 corrective rulemaking action for Maryland's 1990 base
year ozone emissions inventory 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.).
Under 5 U.S.C. 801(a)(1)(A) as added by the Small Business
Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996, EPA submitted 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
General Accounting Office prior to publication of this rule in today's
Federal Register. This rule is not a ``major rule'' as defined by 5
U.S.C. 804(2).
Dated: June 11, 1997.

Acting, Regional Administrator, Region III.
