SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    The EPA published a document in the August 15, 1997, Federal 
Register (62 FR 43647) of the determination that the Doe Run-
Herculaneum nonattainment area had failed to attain the National 
Ambient Air Quality Standard for lead (Pb) by June 30, 1995, as 
required under the provisions of the Clean Air Act and the Missouri 
State Implementation Plan. In section I of the document, the table 
entitled ``Lead Ambient Air Quality Data--Vicinity Of The Doe Run 
Primary Smelter'' incorrectly denotes the Herculaneum monitor as the 
Asarco monitor. The table is corrected to read as follows:

Lead Ambient Air Quality Data--Vicinity of the DOE Run Primary Smelter

\1\ (S) = State monitor, (H) = Herculaneum monitor.                                                                                                     
\2\ Italicized Quarterly Air Quality Values exceed the National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS) for lead; the NAAQS for lead is 1.5 g/m\3\
  and is the arithmetic mean of a series of daily (24-hour) values from hi-vol monitors measuring particulate matter, within a 3-month (calendar        
  quarter) period.                                                                                                                                      

    This minor correction does not alter the EPA's failure to attain 
determination, nor does it alter the effective date of September 15, 
1997, as specified in the original document.

II. 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 (P. 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 Procedures 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, the 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 is not a ``major rule'' as defined by 5 U.S.C. 
804(2).

    Authority: 42 U.S.C. 7401--7671q.

    Dated: October 29, 1997.

Acting Regional Administrator, Region 7.
