SUMMARY: EPA issued a direct final rule in theFederal Register of
October 17, 2005, to amend the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA)
section 8(a) Inventory Update Reporting (IUR) regulations by adding
1,2,3-propanetriol (CASRN 56-81-5) to the list of chemical substances
in 40 CFR 710.46(b)(2)(iv) which are exempt from reporting processing
and use information required by 40 CFR 710.52(c)(4). The document
incorrectly listed the section heading for Sec. 710.46 in the
regulatory text. This document is being issued to correct that error.

ADDRESSES: Follow the detailed instructions as provided under the
ADDRESSES unit in the Federal Register document of October 17, 2005.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. General Information

B. How Can I Access Electronic Copies of this Document and Other
Related Information?
In addition to using EDOCKET at http://www.epa.gov/edocket/, you

EPA Internet under the ``Federal Register'' listings at http://www.epa.gov/fedrgstr/.
A frequently updated electronic version of 40
CFR part 710 is available at E-CFR Beta Site Two at http://www.gpoaccess.gov/ecfr/
.
II. What Does this Correction Do?
In FR Doc. 05-20771 appearing on page 60217, the following
correction is made:
Sec. 710.46 [Corrected]
On page 60221 in the second column, the section heading for Sec.
710.46 is corrected to read: ``Sec. 710.46 Chemical substances for
which information is not required.''
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 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 an inadvertent error in the section
heading of the regulatory text 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 is discussed in
Unit V. of the October 17, 2005, direct final rule (70 FR 60217).
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).
