Attainment of the One-hour Ozone 

Standard for the Greater Connecticut 

Area; Correction 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Final rule; correction of docket 

number. 

SUMMARY: This document corrects an 

error in the docket number of a final

the Greater Connecticut serious onehour ozone nonattainment area did not 

meet the applicable deadline of 

November 15, 2007, for attaining the 

one-hour National Ambient Air Quality 

Standard (NAAQS) for ozone. In 

addition, that same final rule 

determined that the Greater Connecticut 

serious one-hour ozone nonattainment 

area is currently attaining the now 

revoked one-hour NAAQS for ozone. 

The correct docket number for this 

action is EPA–R01–OAR–2011–0711.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On, March 

16, 2012 (77 FR 15607), EPA published 

a final rulemaking notice announcing 

that the Greater Connecticut one-hour 

ozone nonattainment area did not meet 

its applicable one-hour ozone 

attainment date of November 15, 2007, 

based on 2005–2007 quality-assured 

ozone monitoring data. Separate from 

and independent of the first 

determination, EPA also determined 

that the Greater Connecticut one-hour 

ozone nonattainment area is currently 

attaining the one-hour ozone standard, 

based on the most recent three years 

(2008–2010) of complete, qualityassured ozone monitoring data at all 

monitoring sites in the area. In the 

March 16, 2012 final rulemaking, EPA 

inadvertently stated an incorrect docket 

number. The correct docket number for 

this action is EPA–R01–OAR–2011– 

0711. The Notice of Proposed 

Rulemaking (NPR) for this action (76 FR 

72377; November 23, 2011) included the 

correct docket number. Thus, the public 

had appropriate opportunity to 

comment on the NPR.
