On October 23, 2024, BIS published 

the proposed rule ‘‘Export 

Administration Regulations: Revisions 

to Space-Related Export Controls, 

including Addition of License 

Exception Commercial Space Activities 

(CSA)’’ (89 FR 84784), which proposed 

changes to controls for spacecraft and 

related items under the EAR that would 

conform to proposed changes to the

Regulations related to U.S. Munitions 

List Categories IV and XV. This rule also 

proposed the addition of a new license 

exception for certain Commercial Space

V. What action is the EPA taking? 

VI. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews 

II. Background 

This proposed action is to correct an 

error in an earlier EPA action, using the 

authority of section 110(k)(6) of the 

CAA. Section 110(k)(6) provides the 

EPA with explicit authority to correct 

errors in prior rulemaking actions: 

Whenever the Administrator determines 

that the Administrator’s action approving, 

disapproving, or promulgating any plan or 

plan revision (or part thereof), area 

designation, redesignation, classification, or 

reclassification was in error, the 

Administrator may in the same manner as the 

approval, disapproval, or promulgation 

revise such action as appropriate without 

requiring any further submission from the 

State. Such determination and the basis 

thereof shall be provided to the State and the 

public. 

Section 110(k)(6) of the CAA has been 

interpreted by courts as a ‘‘broad 

provision [that] was enacted to provide 

the EPA with an avenue to correct its 

own erroneous actions and grant the 

EPA the discretion to decide when to 

act pursuant to the provision.’’ Ass’n of 

Irritated Residents v. EPA, 790 F.3d 934, 

948 (9th Cir. 2015). 

The EPA notes that this statutory 

provision provides the EPA with 

authority to make corrections to actions
