[EPA–HQ–OECA–2014–0551; FRL–9922–

Consolidated Rules of Practice 

Governing the Administrative

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency. 

ACTION: Correcting amendment. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) published a document in 

the Federal Register on November 6, 

2014. That document included the 

correct mailing and hand delivery 

addresses for the Environmental 

Appeals Board, but inadvertently failed 

to omit the incorrect addresses. This 

amendment deletes the incorrect 

addresses. 

DATES: Effective on March 13, 2015.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

The rule amendment published on 

November 6, 2014 (79 FR 65897), 

corrected the mailing and hand delivery 

addresses for the Environmental 

Appeals Board in § 22.5(a) to reflect the 

Board’s relocation. The rule also revised 

§ 22.30(a)(1) by adding a reference to the 

corrected addresses in § 22.5(a). This 

amendment, however, inadvertently did 

not omit the Board’s incorrect addresses 

in the second and third sentences of 

§ 22.30(a)(1). 

Need for Correction 

As published on November 6, 2014 

(79 FR 65897), the final regulation 

contains an error which may prove to be 

misleading and is in need of 

clarification.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

In FR Doc. 2014–26182 of November 

6, 2014 (79 FR 66120), there were 

technical and typographical errors that 

are identified and corrected in the 

Correction of Errors section below. The 

provisions in this correction document 

are effective as if they had been 

included in the document published on 

November 6, 2014. Accordingly, the 

corrections are effective March 13, 2015. 

II. Summary of Errors 

On page 66184 of the preamble, we 

have determined that there were errors 

in the performance standard, 

achievement threshold, and benchmark 

values presented in the Numerical 

Values for the Performance Standards 

for the Payment Year (PY) 2017 EndStage Renal Disease (ESRD) Quality 

Incentive Program (QIP) Clinical 

Measures Using the Most Recently 

Available Data table for PY 2017 of the 

ESRD QIP (Table 23). Specifically, the 

numerical values published for the 

Standardized Readmission Ratio clinical 

measure were calculated using only 6 

months of data from calendar year 2013 

instead of the full 12 months, as 

specified under our finalized policy (79 

FR 66183). Therefore, we are publishing 

this technical correction to ensure that 

these numerical standards align with 

the finalized policies for the PY 2017 

ESRD QIP. 

III. Waiver of Proposed Rulemaking 

We ordinarily publish a notice of 

proposed rulemaking in the Federal 

Register to provide a period for public 

comment before the provisions of a rule 

take effect in accordance with section 

553(b) of the Administrative Procedure 

Act (APA) (5 U.S.C. 553(b)). However, 

we can waive this notice and comment 

procedure if the Secretary finds, for 

good cause, that the notice and 

comment process is impracticable, 

unnecessary, or contrary to the public 

interest, and incorporates a statement of 

the finding and the reasons; therefore, in 

the notice. 

Since this rule correction is simply 

correcting technical and typographical 

errors in the preamble, but does not 

make substantive changes to the policies 

or payment methodologies that were 

adopted in the final rule, it is 

unnecessary to follow the notice and 

comment procedure in this instance. 

Therefore, we believe that we have good 

cause to forego notice and a period for 

comment. 

IV. Correction of Errors 

In FR Doc. 2014–26182 of November 

6, 2014 (79 FR 66120) make the 

following corrections:
