SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On August 6, 1997 (62 FR 42216), EPA approved several minor 
revisions to the Washington State Implementation Plan (SIP) which 
revised certain regulations of the Puget Sound Air Pollution Control 
Agency (PSAPCA). An error occurred in the paragraph number cited in the 
Identification of Plan section. The incorrect paragraph number 
published was (73), this action corrects the paragraph number to (74).

Administrative Requirements

    Under Executive Order (E.O.) 12866, Regulatory Planning and Review 
(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, is not subject to the regulatory flexibility provisions of the 
Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.).
    The final rule is not subject to E.O. 13045, entitled ``Protection 
of Children from Environmental Health Risks and Safety Risks,'' because 
it is not an ``economically significant'' action under E.O. 12866.
    The Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801 et seq., as added by the 
Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996, generally 
provides that before a rule may take effect, the agency promulgating 
the rule must submit a rule report, which includes a copy of the rule, 
to each House of the Congress and to the Comptroller General of the 
United States. EPA will submit 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 United States prior 
to publication of the rule in the Federal Register. This rule is not a 
``major rule'' as defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2).
