ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[KS 078-1078; FRL-6361-8]


Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; State of 
Kansas

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Final rule; correction.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This document corrects an error in the amendatory instruction 
in a final rule pertaining to the 1998 revisions to the Kansas State 
Implementation Plan (SIP).

EFFECTIVE DATE: June 28, 1999.

ADDRESSES: Copies of the state submittal(s) are available at the 
following addresses for inspection during normal business hours: 
Environmental Protection Agency, Air Planning and Development Branch, 
901 North 5th Street, Kansas City, Kansas 66101; and the Environmental 
Protection Agency, Air and Radiation Docket and Information Center, Air 
Docket (6102), 401 M Street, SW, Washington, DC 20460.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Royan W. Teter, Environmental 
Protection Agency, 901 North 5th Street, Air Planning and Development 
Branch, Kansas City, Kansas 66101, (913) 551-7609.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On May 27, 1999, EPA published a document 
(64 FR 28757), adding Sec. 52.869. The intent of the rule was to 
conditionally approve elements of the maintenance plan revision to the 
SIP submitted by the Governor's designee on May 21, 1998, which address 
contingency measures for the Kansas City ozone maintenance area. In 
addition, the rule intended to establish a window of one year from the 
effective date of the final rule under which Kansas must submit 
additional air pollution control measures to receive full approval of 
the revised SIP. The rule incorrectly established a window of 30 days 
rather than one year. This action corrects the erroneous date. The date 
is being amended from June 28, 1999, to June 28, 2000.

Administrative Requirements

    Under Executive Order (E.O.) 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 E.O. 12875 (58 FR 58093, October 28, 
1993), or involve special consideration of environmental justice 
related issues as required by E.O. 12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 
1994).
    Because this corrective rulemaking 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.).
    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 United States Senate, the United States 
House of Representatives, and the Comptroller General of the United 
States prior to publication of the rule in the Federal Register. This 
rule for the Kansas City ozone maintenance plan is not a ``major rule'' 
as defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2).

    Dated: June 7, 1999.
William Rice,
Acting Regional Administrator, Region VII.
    Chapter I, title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations is amended 
as follows:

PART 52--[AMENDED]

    1. The authority citation for part 52 continues to read as follows:

    Authority: 42 U.S.C. 7401 et seq.

Subpart R--Kansas

    2. Section 52.869 is corrected by revising the date ``June 28, 
1999'', to read ``June 28, 2000''.
