Abstract
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is correcting a final rule that appeared in the Federal Register on July 12, 2023. The final rule determined the applicable volume requirements and percentage standards for the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) for 2023 through 2025 for cellulosic biofuel, biomass-based diesel, advanced biofuel, and total renewable fuel, established the second supplemental standard addressing the judicial remand of the 2016 standard-setting rulemaking, and made several regulatory changes to the RFS program. This document corrects several amendatory instructions in the regulatory text in the final rule, but does not make any substantive changes.

Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) Program: Standards for 2023-2025
and Other Changes; Correction
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Final rule; correction.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is correcting a
final rule that appeared in the Federal Register on July 12, 2023. The
final rule determined the applicable volume requirements and percentage
standards for the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) for 2023 through 2025
for cellulosic biofuel, biomass-based diesel, advanced biofuel, and
total renewable fuel, established the second supplemental standard
addressing the judicial remand of the 2016 standard-setting rulemaking,
and made several regulatory changes to the RFS program. This document
corrects several amendatory instructions in the regulatory text in the
final rule, but does not make any substantive changes.
DATES: This correction is effective on September 11, 2023.

No. EPA-HQ-OAR-2021-0427. All documents in the docket are listed on the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
EPA is making several corrections for inadvertent errors in the
amendatory instructions and regulatory text for the final rule:
<bullet> 40 CFR 80.140(a)(8) should be 40 CFR 80.140(a)(7).
<bullet> Instruction 17.l removes and replaces the text ``Table 1
to this section, or a D code as approved by the Administrator, which'',
but should remove and replace the text ``Table 1 to this section, or D
codes as approved by the Administrator, which''.
<bullet> Instruction 17.x amends 40 CFR 80.1426(f)(5)(v), but
should amend 40 CFR 80.1426(f)(4)(ii).
<bullet> Instruction 20.d redesignates 40 CFR 80.1429(b)(5), but
should also redesignate 40 CFR 80.1429(b)(5)(i) and (ii).
<bullet> Instruction 27.a removes and replaces the text ``the
Administrator'' in 40 CFR 80.1443(a), (b), and (e), but should also
remove and replace the text ``The Administrator''.
<bullet> Instruction 29.b amends 40 CFR 80.1450(b)(1)(ii), but
should more specifically amend 40 CFR 80.1450(b)(1)(ii) introductory
text.
<bullet> Instruction 29.q removes and replaces the text ``The
Administrator'' in 40 CFR 80.1450(g)(11)(i), (ii), (iii), and (i)(1),
but should also remove and replace the text ``the Administrator''.
<bullet> Instruction 33.c removes and replaces the text ``Sec.
80.1401'' in 40 CFR 80.1453(d) and (f)(1)(vi), but should also remove
and replace the text ``40 CFR 80.1401''.
<bullet> Instruction 34.i removes 40 CFR 80.1454(d) introductory
text, but should instead revise 40 CFR 80.1454(d) introductory text.
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 technical
correction final without prior proposal and opportunity for comment
because such notice and opportunity for comment is unnecessary as the
technical correction is for minor typographical, non-substantive errors
only.
