SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. General Information

A. Does this Action Apply to Me?

    The Agency included in the final rule a list of those who may be 
potentially affected by this action. If you have questions regarding 
the applicability of this action to a particular entity, consult the 
person listed under the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT.

B. How Can I Access Electronic Copies of this Document and Other 
Related Information?

    In addition to using regulations.gov, you may access this Federal 
Register document electronically through the EPA Internet under the 
``Federal Register'' listings at http://www.epa.gov/fedrgstr.

II. What Does this Correction Do?

    FR Doc. 06-1939 published in the Federal Register of March 8, 2006 
(71 FR 11519) (FRL-7758-2) is corrected as follows:
    On page 11526, in the amendment to Sec. 180.495 (a), the table 
establishing tolerances appeared as a two column table. The table 
should have appeared as a three column table. The omitted third column 
should include the heading ``Expiration/Revocation Date'', and the 
entry ``None'' to correspond to the tolerance listed in each row. This 
document is being published to correct that omission.

III. Why is this Correction Issued as a Final Rule?

    Section 553 of the Administrative Procedure Act (APA), 5 U.S.C. 
553(b)(B), provides that, when an Agency for good cause finds that 
notice and public procedure are impracticable, unnecessary or contrary 
to the public interest, the Agency may issue a final rule without 
providing notice and an opportunity for public comment. EPA has 
determined that there is good cause for making today's technical 
correction final without prior proposal and opportunity for comment, 
because because the use of notice and comment procedures are 
unnecessary to effectuate this correction. EPA finds that this 
constitutes good cause under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B).

IV. Do Any of the Statutory and Executive Order Reviews Apply to this 
Action?

    No. This action only corrects typographically omissions for a 
previously published final rule and does not impose any new 
requirements. EPA's compliance with the statutes and Executive Orders 
for the underlying rule

[[Page 36015]]

is discussed in Unit VII. of the March 8, 2006, final rule (71 FR 
11519).

V. Congressional Review Act

    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 U.S. Senate, the U.S. House of 
Representatives, and the Comptroller General of the United States prior 
to publication of this final rule in the Federal Register. This final 
rule is not a ``major rule'' as defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2).
