ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 62

[SIPTRAX NO. VA 011-5034a; FRL-6174-7]

 
Approval and Promulgation of State Air Quality Plans for 
Designated Facilities and Pollutants; Commonwealth of Virginia; Control 
of Total Reduced Sulfur Emissions from Existing Kraft Pulp Mills

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Direct final rule; correction.

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

SUMMARY: This document corrects an error in the rule language of a 
final rulemaking action pertaining to EPA's approval of the section 
111(d) plan for control of total reduced sulfur (TRS) emissions from 
kraft pulp mills submitted by the Commonwealth of Virginia.

EFFECTIVE DATE: November 8, 1998.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Artra B. Cooper at (215) 814-2096, or 
by e-mail at cooper.artra@epamail.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: EPA published a document on September 8, 
1998 (63 FR 47436) inadvertently adding paragraph (d) under the new 
Sec. 62.11610. The intent of the document was to add paragraphs (a) 
through (c) under the new Sec. 62.11610. This document corrects the 
erroneous amendatory language.
    In the final rule (FR Docket 98-23888) published in the Federal 
Register on September 8, 1998 (63 FR 47436), on page 47438 in the first 
column, remove paragraph (d) from Sec. 62.11610.
Administrative Requirements
    Under Executive Order 12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993), this 
action is not a ``significant regulatory action'' and, is therefore not 
subject to review by the Office of Management and Budget. In addition, 
this action does not impose any enforceable duty or contain any 
unfunded mandate as described in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 
1995 (Pub. L. 104-4), or require prior consultation with State 
officials as specified by Executive Order 12875 (58 FR 58093, October 
28, 1993), or involve special consideration of environmental justice 
related issues as required by Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, 
February 16, 1994).
    Because this corrective rulemaking action is not subject to notice-
and-comment requirements under the Administrative Procedure Act or any 
other statute, it is not subject to the provisions of the Regulatory 
Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.).
    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 the rule in the Federal Register. This correction 
rule pertaining to Virginia's section 111(d) plan for control of TRS 
emissions from kraft pulp mills is not a ``major rule'' as defined by 5 
U.S.C. 804(2).

    Dated: October 1, 1998.

Acting Regional Administrator, EPA Region III.
