National Primary Drinking Water

Regulations: Public Notification Rule

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Final rule; technical correction.

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection

Agency published in the Federal

Register of May 4, 2000, final

regulations to revise the public

notification requirements that public

water systems must follow under the

Safe Drinking Water Act. Inadvertently,

the May 4 document had several

incorrect regulatory citations and other

formatting problems. Today’s action

corrects the regulatory citations and the

formatting problems.

DATES: Effective on June 30, 2000.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For

technical inquiries, contact Carl B.

Reeverts at (202) 260–7273 or e-mail:

reeverts.carl@epa.gov. Contact the Safe

Drinking Water Hotline, toll free (800)

426–4791 for general information about

the rule and this correction notice.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The EPA

published final public notification

regulations in the Federal Register of

May 4, 2000 (65 FR 25981). Several

incorrect citations and formatting errors

in the May 4, 2000 document are

corrected by today’s action. Section 553

of the Administrative Procedure Act

(APA), 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B), provides that,

when an agency for good cause finds

that notice and public procedure 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 today’s rule final

without prior proposal and opportunity

for public comment, because today’s

action only corrects formatting errors

and minor citation errors in the final

rule published in the Federal Register

on May 4, 2000 (65 FR 25981). Thus,

notice and public procedure are

unnecessary. EPA finds that this

constitutes good cause under 5 U.S.C.

553(b)(B). For the same reasons, EPA is

making the provisions of this rule

effective upon promulgation, as

authorized under section 553(d) of the

APA.

I. Corrections to the Regulation

Correction to Part 9 Table

The amendment to part 9 in the May

4 document (65 FR 26021–22) revised

the table under § 9.1, OMB approvals

under the Paperwork Reduction Act, to

insert the OMB Control Number for the

new and revised public notification

requirements contained in the final

public notification rule. The May 4

document inadvertently amended a

§ 9.1 table that had already been

superceded by a separate regulatory

action.

Correction to CFR Citations to Conform

to New Public Notification Subpart

Amendment 3 of the May 4 document

(65 FR 26022) revised references to the

public notification regulations in other

parts of 40 CFR Part 141 from the

existing citation (§ 141.32) to the new

Subpart Q. The May 4 document in

several places inadvertently included

the incorrect CFR citation.

Correction to Incorrect Citation in

Amendment 16

Amendment 16 of the May 4

document (65 FR 26035) revised the

reporting requirements under the

Interim Enhanced Surface Water

Federal Register / Vol. 65, No. 127 / Friday, June 30, 2000 / Rules and Regulations 40521

Treatment Rule to conform to the

revised public notification regulations.

The May 4 document included an

incorrect citation.

Correct Format in § 141.201–§ 141.210

To Italicize Questions

In accordance with the plain language

format of the final public notification

regulations, the requirements in the new

Subpart Q under § 141.201 to § 141.210

were presented in question and answer

format. To make the presentation as

clear and easy to read as possible, EPA

chose to italicize the questions to

highlight the presentation of the

requirements. Inadvertently, the May 4

document (65 FR 26035–26039)

included some but not all of the

questions in italicized form. This notice

restores the questions to the italicized

form as intended.

Correcting Formatting Errors in

Appendix B to Subpart Q

Appendix B to Subpart Q presents the

standard health effects language for each

regulated contaminant. Public water

systems are to include the standard

health effects language in their public

notices for violations of an MCL or

treatment technique requirement. The

contaminant list in Appendix B is

grouped into the major contaminant

categories for ease of reference.

Inadvertently, Appendix B in the May 4

document (65 FR 26043–26048)

contained formatting errors requiring

correction.

II. Administrative Requirements

Under Executive Order 12866 (58 FR

51735, October 4, 1993), this action is

not a ‘‘significant regulatory action’’ and

is therefore not subject to review by the

Office of Management and Budget.

Because the agency has made a ‘‘good

cause’’ finding that this action is not

subject to notice-and-comment

requirements under the Administrative

Procedure Act or any other statute [see

discussion under ‘‘Supplementary

Information’’], it is not subject to the

regulatory flexibility provisions of the

Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601

et seq.), or to Sections 202 and 205 of

the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of

1995 (UMRA) (Pub. L. 104–4). In

addition, this action does not

significantly or uniquely affect small

governments or impose a significant

intergovernmental mandate, as

described in Sections 203 and 204 of

UMRA. This rule also does not

significantly or uniquely affect the

communities of tribal governments, as

specified by Executive Order 13084 (63

FR 27655, May 10, 1998). This rule will

not have substantial direct effects on the

States, on the relationship between the

national government and the States, or

on the distribution of power and

responsibilities among the various

levels of government, as specified in

Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255,

August 10, 1999). This rule also is not

subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR

19885, April 23, 1997), because it is not

economically significant. For all of these

regulatory assessment provisions, EPA

notes that today’s notice only corrects

unintended errors and omissions in an

earlier rulemaking.

This action does not involve technical

standards; thus, the requirements of

Section 12(d) of the National

Technology Transfer and Advancement

Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272 note) do not

apply. The rule also does not involve

special consideration of environmental

justice related issues as required by

Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629,

February 16, 1994). In issuing this rule,

EPA has taken the necessary steps to

eliminate drafting errors and ambiguity,

minimize potential litigation, and

provide a clear legal standard for

affected conduct, as required by Section

3 of Executive Order 12988 (61 FR 4729,

February 7, 1996). This rule does not

impose an information collection

burden under the provisions of the

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44

U.S.C. 3501 et seq.). EPA’s compliance

with these statutes and Executive

Orders for the underlying rule is

discussed in the May 4, 2000 Federal

Register notice.

The Congressional Review Act (CRA)

(5 U.S.C. 801 et seq.), as added by the

Small Business Regulatory Enforcement

Fairness Act of 1996, generally provides

that before a rule may take effect, the

agency promulgating the rule must

submit a rule report, which includes a

copy of the rule, to each House of the

Congress and to the Comptroller General

of the United States. Section 808 allows

the issuing agency to make a rule

effective sooner than otherwise

provided by the CRA if the agency

makes a good cause finding that notice

and public procedure is impracticable,

unnecessary or contrary to the public

interest. This determination must be

supported by a brief statement. (5 U.S.C.

808(2)). As stated previously, EPA has

made such a good cause finding,

including the reasons therefore, and

established an effective date of June 30,

2000. EPA will submit a report

containing this rule and other required

information to the U.S. Senate, U.S.

House of Representatives, and the

Comptroller General of the United

States prior to publication of the rule in

the Federal Register. This action is not

a ‘‘major rule’’ as defined by 5

U.S.C.804(2).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. What Does This Correction Do?

This document announces the

effective dates of certain Code of Federal

Regulations sections which contain

information collection requirements.

These information collection

requirements can be found at in 40 CFR

part 141, subpart O, and part 142,

§ 142.16(f) for the Consumer Confidence

Report Rule (63 FR 44511), and in 40

CFR part 142, § 142.11(a)(6) for the

Primacy Rule (63 FR 23362).

Under the Paperwork Reduction Act

(PRA), 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq., an Agency

may not conduct or sponsor, and a

person is not required to respond to, a

collection of information that is subject

to approval under the PRA, unless it

displays a currently valid OMB control

number. The OMB control numbers for

EPA’s regulations are listed in 40 CFR

part 9.
