ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 81

[CA083-CORR; FRL-7376-2]


Clean Air Act Redesignation and Reclassification, Searles Valley 
Nonattainment Area; Correction

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Final rule; correction.

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

SUMMARY: This action corrects language that appeared in a final rule 
published in the Federal Register on August 6, 2002. The final rule 
changed the boundaries of the Searles Valley, California moderate PM-10 
nonattainment area.

EFFECTIVE DATE: This action is effective on September 19, 2002.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Karen Irwin, EPA Region IX, (415) 947-
4116.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On August 6, 2002 (67 FR 50805), EPA 
published a final rulemaking action changing the boundaries of the 
Searles Valley, California moderate PM-10 nonattainment area (NA) by 
dividing that area into three new, separate moderate NAs: Coso 
Junction, Indian Wells Valley, and Trona. EPA also made a finding that 
the Trona NA has attained the 24-hour and annual PM-10 national ambient 
air quality standards by the Clean Air Act mandated attainment date for 
moderate nonattainment areas.
    The title of the aforementioned action contains an error and is 
being corrected in this action. The error is a reference to 
determination of attainment of the PM-10 standards for the Coso 
Junction Area, rather than the Trona Area.
    In rule FR Doc. 02-19798 published on August 6, 2002, make the 
following correction. On page 50805, in the first column, the title is 
being corrected to

[[Page 59006]]

now state: ``Clean Air Act Redesignation and Reclassification, Searles 
Valley Nonattainment Area; Designation of Coso Junction, Indian Wells 
Valley, and Trona Nonattainment Areas; California; Determination of 
Attainment of the PM-10 Standards for the Trona Area; Particulate 
Matter of 10 microns or less (PM-10).''
    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 (Public Law 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, 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, 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 rule is not a ``major rule'' as defined by 5 
U.S.C. 804(2).
