Civil Monetary Penalty Inflation Adjustment Rule

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Corrections To final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This document contains corrections to the Civil Monetary 
Penalty Inflation Adjustment Rule, final regulations ( FRL-5671-1), 
which were published Tuesday, December 31, 1996, (61 FR 69359). The 
regulations adjusted the Environmental Protection Agency's (``EPA'') 
civil monetary penalties (``CMPs'') for inflation as mandated by the 
Debt Collection Improvement Act of 1996 (``DCIA''). A corrected version 
of Table 1, from 40 CFR 19.4, which now lists all but one of the EPA's 
civil monetary penalty authorities, appears near the end of this 
notice.

EFFECTIVE DATE: January 30, 1997.

Compliance Assurance's Web page at http//www.epa.gov/oeca.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Need For Correction

    As published, the preamble and final regulations contain errors 
which may prove misleading and are in need of clarification. The 
changes made through these corrections are all technical in nature and 
can be broken down into three categories. First, there were five 
instances in which the exact section of a statute was not cited 
correctly in the preamble (which errors were repeated in the rule). 
Second, there were two errors in the new maximum penalty figures. 
Third, there are other minor non-substantive changes, as well as the 
addition of explanatory information which does not affect the original 
rule, but provides a more complete and understandable document and rule 
to the public. The additions concern the August 1996 amendments to the 
Safe Drinking Water Act, which went into effect on August 6, 1996. For 
purposes of clarity and providing the public with one table that lists 
all of EPA's civil penalty authorities, the four new civil penalty 
provisions from the August 1996 amendments to the Safe Drinking Water 
Act have been added to Table 1 in Section 19.4 (even though these 
penalty provisions are not subject to adjustment for inflation pursuant 
to the DCIA at this time). These additions are identified below. Thus 
the revised Table 1 of Section 19.4 now provides a list of all but one 
of the applicable statutory provisions and maximum civil penalties. 
There is one statutory provision which has not yet been adjusted. EPA 
anticipates performing a rule-making to adjust 15 U.S.C. 2615, as 
amended by the Residential Lead-Based Paint Act of 1992, 42 U.S.C. 
4852d, and the corresponding regulations in 40 CFR Part 745, which were 
omitted from the December 31, 1996 rule-making.

Effect of Correction

    Since all of the corrections are technical in nature and do not 
affect the substance of the rule, the original effective date of 
January 30, 1997, applies to those corrected provisions, as well as to 
the other original provisions of the final rule which did not require 
correction. The identified corrections to Table A in the preamble 
correspond to the corrections and additions to Table 1 in Section 19.4. 
A corrected version of Table 1, 40 CFR 19.4, which now lists all but 
one of EPA's civil monetary penalty authorities, appears near the end 
of this notice.

Correction of Publication

    Accordingly, the publication on December 31, 1996 of the preamble 
and final regulations (FRL-5671-1) which were the subject of F.R. Doc. 
96-32972, are corrected and added to as follows:

Preamble [Corrected]

    On page 69360, Table A.--Summary of Civil Monetary Penalty 
Inflation Adjustment Calculations, the first column, is corrected as

136, is followed by the letter ``l'', not the number one).
    7 USC 136l(2) is corrected to read 7 USC 136l.(a)(2)--(the number 
136, is followed by the letter ``l'', not the number one).
    15 USC 2615 is corrected to 15 USC 2615(a).
    On page 69361, Table A, is corrected as follows:
    33 U.S.C. 1321(b)(7)(A) in the first column is correct, but the 
fourth column figure of ``10,000'', is corrected to ``25,000''. The 
seventh column figure of 15,000, is corrected to 30,000. The eighth

    On page 69362, for 42 U.S.C. 6934(e), the fourth column, the figure 
``25,000'' is corrected to read ``5,000''.
    On page 69363, 42 U.S.C. 11045(d)(2)(3) is corrected to 42 U.S.C. 
11045(d) (1).
    In the first column, first sentence, insert ``will'' so the 
sentence reads ``Future adjustments also will be made in accordance 
with the statutory formula.''

Preamble [Additions]

    Supplementary Information. On page 69360, in the third column, in 
the first full sentence, add the phrase ``, along with the new penalty

    On page 69361, 42 U.S.C. 300g-3(g)(3)(B), in the first column is 
correct; for the second column, change the word ``penalty'' to

U.S.C. 300g-3(g)(3)(C) in the first column; for the second column,

Procedural Requirements

I. Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act

    In the December 31, 1996 notice, EPA found good cause, pursuant to 
5 U.S.C. 553(b)(3)(B) of the Administrative Procedure Act (``APA''), 
that soliciting public comment prior to publication of the rule was not 
necessary because EPA is carrying out a ministerial, non-discretionary 
duty per direction of an Act of Congress. EPA finds that good cause 
continues to apply to this rule, and therefore the effective date 
provisions of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 
1996 (``SBREFA''), do not govern the effective date of today's action 
as well. Additionally, the fact that these changes are technical and do 
not affect the substance of the previously issued rule also meets the 
``good cause'' exception to the effective date requirements of section 
553(d) of the Administrative Procedure Act as well.
    Under Executive Order 12866 (58 F.R. 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. In addition, 
this action does not impose any enforceable duty or contain any 
unfunded mandate as described in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 
1995 (PL. 104-4). Because this action is not subject to notice-and-
comment requirements under the APA or any other statute, it is not 
subject to the provisions of the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 
601 et seq.).
    Under 5 U.S.C. 801(a)(1)(A), as added by SBREFA, EPA submitted a 
report containing this rule and other required information to the U.S. 
Senate, the U.S. House of Representatives and the Comptroller General 
of the United States prior to publication of the rule in today's 
Federal Register. This rule is a not a ``major rule'' as defined by 5 
U.S.C. 804(a).

Penalty Inflation Adjustments, is corrected to read as follows:
