That action, in part, amended the monitoring requirements for the industry. This action corrects the corresponding table of monitoring requirements in the final rule and clarifies two issues arising from explanatory language in the preamble to the direct final rule amendments of April 5, 2002. 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 comment procedures 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 notice and comment procedure because it merely corrects a summary table to reflect amended monitoring requirements and clarifies preamble language from the direct final rule amendments. Both the proposed rule and direct final rule amendments (as well as the Settlement Agreement that occasioned these amendments) were subject to exhaustive notice and comment (including comment on the matters addressed in this notice). Thus, notice and comment are contrary to the public interest and unnecessary.
