Davidson County, TN

Sec. 60.13(g), (i), and (j)(2)

Administrative Requirements

    The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has exempted this 
regulatory action from Executive Order 12866, entitled ``Regulatory 
Planning and Review.''
    Because this corrective notice is not subject to notice-and-comment

[[Page 46366]]

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. Section 808 allows the issuing agency to 
make a rule effective sooner than otherwise provided by the CRA if the 
agency makes a good cause finding that notice and public procedure is 
impracticable, unnecessary or contrary to the public interest. This 
determination must be supported by a brief statement. 5 U.S.C. 808(2). 
As stated previously, EPA has made such a good cause finding, including 
the reasons therefor, and established an effective date of July 28, 
2000. 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 action is not a ``major rule'' 
as defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2).

    Authority: This notice is issued under the authority of sections 
101, 110, 111, 112 and 301 of the Clean Air Act, as Amended (42 
U.S.C. 7401, 7410, 7411, 7412 and 7601).

    Dated: June 19, 2000.
A. Stanley Meiburg,
Acting Regional Administrator, Region 4.
