ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[Region VII Tracking No. 088-1088; FRL-6501-4]


Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans; 
State of Iowa; Correction

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Final rule; correcting amendment.

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

SUMMARY: This document corrects an error in the amendatory instruction 
in a direct final rule pertaining to the Cedar Rapids, Iowa, attainment 
and maintenance of the sulfur dioxide National Ambient Air Quality 
Standard regulation.

EFFECTIVE DATE: December 7, 1999.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Edward West at (913) 551-7330.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: EPA published a document on March 11, 1999 
(64 FR 12087), inadvertently omitting a revision to the nonregulatory 
tables in paragraph (e). This document adds that revision.

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 (Public Law 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 
amendment to the rule for the Cedar Rapids, Iowa, attainment and 
maintenance of the sulfur dioxide National Ambient Air Quality Standard 
regulation is not a ``major rule'' as defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2).

    Dated: November 9, 1999.
Dennis Grams, P.E.,
Regional Administrator, Region VII.
