ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 81
[Region II, Docket No. 146; NJ23-1-7243(d), FRL-5852-9]
Designation of Areas for Air Quality Planning Purposes; State of
New Jersey
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Correcting amendment.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This document contains a correction to the direct final
approval, which EPA published on December 7, 1995 (60 FR 62741-62748).
Specifically, this document corrects entries to the table in section
81.331 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) for ``New Jersey-Carbon
Monoxide'' which were not made at the time of the final action. The
correction does not affect the decisions made in the original final
action.
EFFECTIVE DATE: This rule will be effective July 3, 1997.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Henry Feingersh, Air Programs Branch,
Environmental Protection Agency, Region 2 Office, 290 Broadway, New
York, New York 10007-1866, (212) 637-4249.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: EPA published a final action on December 7,
1995 to approve a request by the State of New Jersey to redesignate to
attainment of the Carbon Monoxide National Ambient Air Quality
Standards (NAAQS) Camden County and the nine not classified areas in
New Jersey. The December 7, 1995 final action described the changes to
be made to the table entitled ``New Jersey-Carbon Monoxide'' in
Sec. 81.331 of the CFR. However, not all of the changes were made to
the table. The updated attainment status for Camden County was made
while the changes for the nine not-classified areas in New Jersey were
not. This rulemaking, therefore, corrects the table by including the
correct attainment status for the nine not-classified areas.
Three of these not-classified areas, the City of Trenton, the City
of Burlington and the Borough of Penns Grove (part), are located within
the Philadelphia-Wilmington-Trenton Consolidated Metropolitan
Statistical Area (CMSA). Five of the not-classified areas, the Borough
of Freehold, the City of Morristown, the City of Perth Amboy, the City
of Toms River and the Borough of Somerville, are located in the New
York-Northern New Jersey-Long Island CMSA. The remaining not-classified
area is the City of Atlantic City, which is not contained within a
CMSA.
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 action 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).
