Abstract
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is correcting a final rule that was published in the Federal Register on October 1, 2018, which became effective on October 31, 2018. The final rule approved State Implementation Plan (SIP) revisions submitted by the State of Connecticut to address SIP revisions submitted to meet moderate area nonattainment requirements for the 2008 ozone standard. The SIP revisions are for the Greater Connecticut and the Connecticut portion of the New York-Northern New Jersey-Long Island, NY-NJ-CT moderate ozone nonattainment areas, and include these areas 2011 base year emissions inventories, an emissions statement certification, reasonable further progress (RFP) demonstrations, reasonably available control measures (RACM) analyses, motor vehicle emissions budgets, and contingency measures. This correction does not change any final action taken by EPA on October 1, 2018; today's action merely corrects the Clean Air Act (CAA) citation for moderate area contingency measures. We have determined that there is good cause for making today's rule final without prior proposal and opportunity for comment because we are merely correcting an incorrect citation in a previous action. Thus, notice and public procedure are unnecessary.

Air Plan Approval; Connecticut; Plan Submittals for the 2008
Ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standard; 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 October 1,
2018, which became effective on October 31, 2018. The final rule
approved State Implementation Plan (SIP) revisions submitted by the
State of Connecticut to address SIP revisions submitted to meet
moderate area nonattainment requirements for the 2008 ozone standard.
The SIP revisions are for the Greater Connecticut and the Connecticut
portion of the New York-Northern New Jersey-Long Island, NY-NJ-CT
moderate ozone nonattainment areas, and include these areas 2011 base
year emissions inventories, an emissions statement certification,
reasonable further progress (RFP) demonstrations, reasonably available
control measures (RACM) analyses, motor vehicle emissions budgets, and
contingency measures. This correction does not change any final action
taken by EPA on October 1, 2018; today's action merely corrects the
Clean Air Act (CAA) citation for moderate area contingency measures. We
have determined that there is good cause for making today's rule final
without prior proposal and opportunity for comment because we are
merely correcting an incorrect citation in a previous action. Thus,
notice and public procedure are unnecessary.
DATES: This rule became effective on October 31, 2018.

In FR doc. 2018-21150 appearing on page 49297 at 83 FR 49297 in the
Federal Register of October 1, 2018, the following correction to the
regulatory text is made:
Sec. 52.377 [Corrected]
On page 49298, in the second column, in Sec. 52.377, in amendment
2, correct paragraph (t) Approval, to read as follows:
(t) Approval. Revisions to the State Implementation Plan submitted
by the Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection on
January 17, 2017, September 5, 2017, and August 8, 2017, to meet, in
part, requirements of the 2008 ozone NAAQS. These revisions satisfy the
rate of progress requirement of section 182(b) through 2017, the
contingency measure requirements of section 172(c)(9), the emission
statement requirements of section 182(a)(3)(B), and the reasonably
available control measure requirement of section 172(c)(1) for the
Connecticut portion of the New York-Northern New Jersey-Long Island,
NY-NJ-CT area, and the Greater Connecticut moderate ozone nonattainment
areas. The January 17, 2017 revision establishes motor vehicle
emissions budgets for 2017 of 15.9 tons per day of VOC and 22.2 tons
per day of NO<INF>X</INF> to be used in transportation conformity in
the Greater Connecticut moderate ozone nonattainment area. The August
8, 2017 revision establishes motor vehicle emissions budgets for 2017
of 17.6 tons per day of VOC and 24.6 tons per day of NO<INF>X</INF> to
be used in transportation conformity in the Connecticut portion of the
New York-Northern New Jersey-Long Island, NYNJ-CT moderate ozone
nonattainment area.
Dated: November 4, 2022.
