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.
-
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).
-
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).
-
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).
