EPA published a final rule in the Federal Register on July 25, 2013, disapproving a Wisconsin State Implementation Plan revision pertaining to permitting requirements relating to particulate matter of less than 2.5 micrometers (PM_2.5).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

EPA published a final rule document on July 25, 2013, (78 FR 44881) disapproving revisions to Wisconsin rules NR 400, 404, 405, 406, 407, 408 and 484, submitted by the State on May 12, 2011, because the rule revisions submitted are not consistent with Federal regulations governing state permitting programs. In this disapproval EPA erroneously stated that the revision was being made to 40 CFR 52 Subpart P—Indiana, but the language should have said the revision was being made to Subpart YY—Wisconsin. Therefore, the amendatory instruction is being corrected to reflect the corrected subpart reference.

Correction

In the final rule published in the Federal Register on July 25, 2013, (78 FR 44881), on page 44884, second column, below amendatory instruction 1, “Subpart P—Indiana” is corrected to read: “Subpart YY—Wisconsin”.

Dated: August 12, 2013.

Regional Administrator, Region 5.
