AGENCY:

Environmental Protection Agency.

ACTION:

Correcting amendment.

SUMMARY:

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) published a document in the Federal Register on November 6, 2014. That document included the correct mailing and hand delivery addresses for the Environmental Appeals Board, but inadvertently failed to omit the incorrect addresses. This amendment deletes the incorrect addresses.

DATES:

Effective on March 13, 2015.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Ammie Roseman-Orr, Environmental Appeals Board, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, William Jefferson Clinton Building East, Room 3332, 1200 Pennsylvania Ave. NW., Mail Code 1103M, Washington DC 20460, phone number [phone] or by email at [e-mail].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

The rule amendment published on November 6, 2014 (79 FR 65897), corrected the mailing and hand delivery addresses for the Environmental Appeals Board in § 22.5(a) to reflect the Board's relocation. The rule also revised § 22.30(a)(1) by adding a reference to the corrected addresses in § 22.5(a). This amendment, however, inadvertently did not omit the Board's incorrect addresses in the second and third sentences of § 22.30(a)(1).

Need for Correction

As published on November 6, 2014 (79 FR 65897), the final regulation contains an error which may prove to be misleading and is in need of clarification.
