National Pollutant Discharge 

Elimination System (NPDES): Use of 

Sufficiently Sensitive Test Methods for 

Permit Applications and Reporting; 

Correction 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency. 

ACTION: Final rule; correction. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) is correcting a final rule 

that appeared in the Federal Register of 

August 19, 2014 (79 FR 49001). The rule 

finalized minor amendments to its 

Clean Water Act (CWA) regulations to 

codify that under the National Pollutant 

Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) 

program, in general, permit applicants 

must use ‘‘sufficiently sensitive’’ 

analytical test methods when 

completing an NPDES permit 

application and the Director must 

prescribe that only ‘‘sufficiently 

sensitive’’ methods be used for analyses 

of pollutants or pollutant parameters 

under an NPDES permit. 

DATES: Effective September 18, 2014.

Kelley, Water Permits Division, Office of 

Wastewater Management (4203M),

564–7004, email address: 

kelley.kathryn@epa.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: EPA is 

correcting two citations that are 

contained within the text of two 

‘‘Notes’’ in the final rule, as set forth 

below. 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. 

Here, EPA has determined that there is 

good cause for making this rule final 

without prior proposal and opportunity 

for comment because notice and 

opportunity for comment are 

unnecessary. The corrections being 

made in this rule are technical and very 

minor. These corrections concern two 

citations that were inadvertently stated 

incorrectly in the text of the final rule 

published on Aug. 19, 2014. The 

preamble to that rule makes clear that 

EPA intended the two Notes that 

contain these citations to discuss how 

method minimum levels (MLs) are 

determined under any of the 

subparagraphs to 122.21(e)(3)(i) or 

122.44(i)(1)(iv)(A) (see 79 FR 49004–05 

and 49010), which is the effect of 

today’s corrections to these two 

citations. Accordingly, EPA does not 

believe that conducting a notice and 

comment process on today’s corrections 

would inform the public of agency 

action that may be of interest. 

Under Section 553(d) of the 

Administrative Procedure Act, 

publication of a rule must be made at 

least 30 days before its effective date, 

except where the agency provides 

otherwise for good cause. EPA finds that 

there is good cause for making this rule 


asabaliauskas on DSK5VPTVN1PROD with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 182 / Friday, September 19, 2014 / Rules and Regulations 56275 

effective on September 18, 2014, which 

is less than 30 days after its publication. 

Waiting 30 days before making this rule 

effective is not necessary. Since these 

are only minor corrections to citations, 

we do not believe they will be of public 

interest (as discussed above) and the 

regulated community does not need 30 

days to prepare to comply with them. At 

the same time, because the August 19, 

2014 sufficiently sensitive methods rule 

becomes effective on September 18, 

2014, making these minor corrections to 

that final rule effective on the same date 

will avoid any regulatory confusion that 

might occur from making them effective 

on a different date. 

In FR Doc. 2014–19265 appearing on 

page 49001 in the Federal Register of 

Tuesday, August 19, 2014, the following 

corrections are made: 

§ 122.21 [Corrected] 

■ 1. On page 49013, in the first column, 

in § 122.21 Application for a permit 

(applicable to State programs, see 

§ 123.25), the note heading: ‘‘Note to 

paragraph (e)(3)(i)(C):’’ is corrected to 

read ‘‘Note to paragraph (e)(3)(i):’’ 

§ 122.44 [Corrected] 

■ 2. On page 49013, in the second 

column, in § 122.44 Establishing 

limitations, standards, and other permit 

conditions (applicable to State NPDES 

program, see § 123.25), the note 

heading: ‘‘Note to paragraph 

(i)(1)(iv)(A)(2):’’ is corrected to read 

‘‘Note to paragraph (i)(1)(iv)(A):’’ 

Dated: September 12, 2014.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION 

AGENCY 

40 CFR Part 180 

[EPA–HQ–OPP–2014–0332; FRL–9915–82] 

2-Propenoic acid, butyl ester, polymer 

With 1,6-diisocyanatohexane, N- 

(hydroxymethyl)-2-methyl-2- 

propenamide and 2-propenenitrile; 

Tolerance Exemption 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This regulation establishes an 

exemption from the requirement of a 

tolerance for residues of 2-propenoic 

acid, butyl ester, polymer with 1,6- 

diisocyanatohexane, N- 

(hydroxymethyl)-2-methyl-2- 

propenamide and 2-propenenitrile (CAS 

Reg. No. 1469998–09–1) when used as 

an inert ingredient in a pesticide 

formulation. BASF Corporation 

submitted a petition to EPA under the 

Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act 

(FFDCA), requesting an exemption from 

the requirement of a tolerance. This 

regulation eliminates the need to 

establish a maximum permissible level 

for residues of 2-propenoic acid, butyl 

ester, polymer with 1,6- 

diisocyanatohexane, N- 

(hydroxymethyl)-2-methyl-2- 

propenamide and 2-propenenitrile on 

food or feed commodities. 

DATES: This regulation is effective 

September 19, 2014. Objections and 

requests for hearings must be received 

on or before November 18, 2014, and 

must be filed in accordance with the 

instructions provided in 40 CFR part 

178 (see also Unit I.C. of the 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION).
