ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 81

[CA093-CORR; FRL-7516-9]


Correction of Designation of Areas for Air Quality Planning 
Purposes; California--PM-10 Nonattainment Areas

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Final rule; correcting amendment.

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

SUMMARY: This action corrects language in title 40 of the Code of 
Federal Regulations that was promulgated in final rules published in 
the Federal Register on August 6, 2002 and May 7, 2003.

EFFECTIVE DATE: This rule is effective on June 23, 2003.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On August 6, 2002 (67 FR 50805) and May 7, 
2003 (68 FR 24368), EPA published final rulemaking actions approving 
redesignation requests of the California State Implementation Plan 
(SIP). Both of these actions contained amendments to the PM-10 table 
found in 40 CFR part 81, Sec.  81.305.
    The August 6, 2002 action omitted the designation and 
classification dates and types for a portion of San Bernardino County. 
The May 7, 2003 action failed to note the designation of the Indian 
Wells Valley planning area as attainment with an effective date.
    With this action, we are also correcting the list of counties in 
the San Joaquin Valley Planning Area (SJVPA). The table will now 
contain all counties within the SJVPA in alphabetical order. The entry 
will now read: Fresno, Kern,

[[Page 37091]]

Kings, Madera, Merced, San Joaquin, Stanislaus, and Tulare Counties.

Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    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).
