II. What Does this Correction Do?
FR Doc. E8-29117 published in the Federal Register of December 10,
2008 (73 FR 74978) (FRL-8391-5) is corrected to amend Sec. 180.598 on
page 74982. The amendment to paragraph (b) should have removed the
text. This document is being published to correct that oversight.
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 is 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 amends the section 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. VI. of the December 10, 2008 final rule (73 FR 74978).
V. Congressional Review Act
The Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801 et seq., generally
provides that before a rule may take effect, the Agency promulgating
the rule must submit a rule report 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).
