Air Plan Approval; Connecticut; Source Monitoring, Record Keeping and Reporting; Correction

AGENCY:

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION:

Final rule; correction.

SUMMARY:

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is correcting a final rule that was published in the Federal Register on July 8, 2024 which will become effective on August 7, 2024. The final rule approved State Implementation Plan (SIP) revisions submitted by the State of Connecticut which addresses source monitoring in Connecticut. The principal revision is replacement of Regulations of Connecticut State Agencies (RCSA) section 22a-174-4 (source monitoring, record keeping and reporting) with a new regulation section 22a-174-4a, also called “source monitoring, record keeping and reporting,” in the Connecticut SIP. This source monitoring SIP revision provides monitoring, recordkeeping and reporting requirements to ensure that certain sources comply with applicable emissions limitations. This correction does not change any final action taken by EPA on July 8, 2024; this action adds the missing “Words of Issuance” sentence which connects the preamble to the regulatory text.

DATES:

Effective on August 7, 2024.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

EPA is making a correction for an inadvertent error in the regulatory “Words of Issuance” for the final rule by adding the missing sentence “For the reasons stated in the preamble, EPA amends part 52 of chapter I, title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations as follows:”, to read as follows.

EPA has determined that there is good cause for making this rule final without prior proposal and opportunity for comment because we are adding language that was accidentally omitted. Thus, notice and public procedure are unnecessary. We find that this constitutes good cause under section 553(b)(B) of the Administrative Procedure Act, 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B).
