SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 553(b)(B) of the Administrative
Procedure Act, 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B), provides that, when an agency for
good cause finds that public notice and comment procedures are
impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to the public interest, the
agency may issue a rule without providing notice and an opportunity for
public comment. EPA has determined that there is good cause for making
this rule final without proposal and opportunity for comment because
such notice and opportunity for comment is unnecessary for the
following reasons: EPA is making minor, non-substantive changes to a
final rule, ``Revisions to the Unregulated Contaminant Monitoring Rule
(UCMR 5) for Public Water Systems,'' that appeared in the Federal
Register on December 27, 2021. These corrections do not change any
final action taken by EPA on December 27, 2021; rather, they simply
clarify the logistical instructions to the Office of the Federal
Register to amend 40 CFR part 141. Thus, notice and comment is
unnecessary because the public has previously had the opportunity to
comment on the proposed action finalized on December 27, 2021.
