AGENCY:
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION:
Final rule; correction.
SUMMARY:
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) published a final rule in the Federal Register on August 9, 2023, titled “Air Plan Approval; North Carolina; Bulk Gasoline Plants, Terminals Vapor Recovery Systems.” The document approved revisions to the North Carolina State Implementation Plan (SIP) concerning changes to the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality's air regulations regarding bulk gasoline terminals and plants, gasoline cargo tanks and vapor collection systems, and leak tightness and vapor leak requirements. EPA approved those changes pursuant to the Clean Air Act. An error in the instructions amending the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) in the document is identified and corrected in this action. This correction does not change any final action taken by EPA in the August 9, 2023, final rule.
DATES:
Effective September 8, 2023.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
EPA published a final rule in the Federal Register on August 9, 2023 (88 FR 53795), titled “Air Plan Approval; North Carolina; Bulk Gasoline Plants, Terminals Vapor Recovery Systems.” The final rule approved changes to the following regulations in North Carolina's SIP: 15A North Carolina Administrative Code, Subchapter 02D, Rules .0926, Bulk Gasoline Plants; .0927, Bulk Gasoline Terminals; .0932, Gasoline Cargo Tanks and Vapor Collection Systems; and .2615, Determination of Leak Tightness and Vapor Leaks. However, the Federal Register document contained an error in the instructions regarding amendments to the table titled “EPA-Approved North Carolina Regulations” found at 40 CFR 52.1770(c)(1). See88 FR 53797. In the instructions, EPA inadvertently referred to the table entries to be amended as “Section .0926,” “Section .0927,” “Section .0932,” and “Section .2615” instead of “Rule .0926,” “Rule .0927,” “Rule .0932,” and “Rule .2615” and therefore inadvertently sought to replace, rather than revise, those entries. EPA is now correcting that error.
In Paragraph (n) of Rule .0926, North Carolina's Rule references Rule 02D .0960 which is not in the SIP. The Division of Air Quality (DAQ) withdrew that reference in Paragraph (n) from the April 13, 2021, SIP revision.
Similar to the changes in Rule 02D .0926(n), Rule 02D .0927(k) also references Rule 02D .0960 which is not in the SIP. DAQ withdrew that reference in Paragraph (k) from the April 13, 2021, SIP revision.
Correction
In FR Doc. 2023–16564, published at 88 FR 53795 in the issue of August 9, 2023, on page 53797, in the third column, amendatory instruction 2 for § 52.1770 is corrected to reads as follows:
2. In § 52.1770, amend the table in paragraph (c)(1) by revising the entries “Rule .0926,” “Rule .0927,” “Rule .0932,” and “Rule .2615” to read as follows:
Dated: August 25, 2023.
Carol Kemker,
Acting Regional Administrator, Region 4.
