ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 62

[EPA-R03-OAR-2019-0527.; FRL-10020-90-Region 3]


Approval and Promulgation of State Air Quality Plans for 
Designated Facilities and Pollutants; State of Maryland; Control of 
Emissions From Existing Sewage Sludge Incineration Units; Correction

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Final rule; correction.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) issued a final rule 
on February 9, 2021 entitled ``Approval and Promulgation of State Air 
Quality Plans for Designated Facilities and Pollutants; State of 
Maryland; Control of Emissions from Existing Sewage Sludge Incineration 
Units.'' This document corrects an error in the rule language of the 
final rule pertaining to EPA's approval of Maryland's negative 
declaration regarding the existence of Sewage Sludge Incineration (SSI) 
units in the state submitted by the State of Maryland.

DATES: Effective on March 11, 2021.

Agency, Region III, 1650 Arch Street, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19103.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On February 9, 2021, (86 FR 8699), EPA 
published a final rule action announcing our approval of Maryland's 
negative declaration regarding the existence of SSI units in the state. 
In the document, we inadvertently indicated that a section should be 
added to the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) at 40 CFR 62.4690 for 
air emissions from existing SSI units. The intent of the rule was to 
add a section for air emissions from existing SSI units at 40 CFR 
62.5170. This document corrects the erroneous language.

Need for Correction

    As published, the final rule would amend subpart T, which is for 
the approval of state plans for designated facilities and pollutants 
for the state of Louisiana. The intent of the final rule was to change 
the approval of state plans for designated facilities and pollutants 
for the State of Maryland. This correction will ensure that the correct 
section of the CFR, which for Maryland is subpart V, is amended.
    Section 553 of the Administrative Procedure Act, 5 U.S.C. 
553(b)(3)(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 rule without providing 
notice and an opportunity for public comment. We have determined that 
there is good cause for making this rule final without prior proposal 
and opportunity for comment because we are merely correcting an 
incorrect citation in a previous action. Thus, notice and public 
procedure are unnecessary. We find that this constitutes good cause 
under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(3)(B).
    In FR doc. 2021-02617 appearing on page 8699 in the Federal 
Register of Tuesday, February 9, 2021 the following corrections are 
made:

Subpart V--[Corrected]
