SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: EPA is today amending the table of currently 
approved information collection request (ICR) control numbers issued by 
OMB for various regulations. Today's amendment updates the table to 
list those information requirements promulgated under the Urban Bus 
Rebuild Requirements which appeared in the Federal Register on April 
21, 1993 (58 FR 21359). The affected regulations are codified at 40 
Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Secs. 85.1401 through 85.1415. EPA 
will continue to present OMB control numbers in a consolidated table 
format to be codified in 40 CFR part 9 of the Agency's regulations, and 
in each CFR volume containing EPA regulations. The table lists the 
section numbers with reporting and record keeping requirements, and the 
current OMB control numbers. This listing of the OMB control numbers 
and their subsequent codification in the CFR satisfy the requirements 
of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.) and OMB's 
implementing regulations at 5 CFR part 1320.
    This ICR was previously subject to public notice and comment prior 
to OMB approval. As a result, EPA finds that there is ``good cause'' 
under section 553(b)(B) of the Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C. 
553(b)(B)) to amend this table without prior notice and comment. Due to 
the technical nature of the table, further notice and comment would be 
unnecessary.
    The Congressional Review Act, 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. However, section 808 provides that any rule for which 
the issuing agency for good cause finds that notice and public 
procedure thereon are impracticable, unnecessary or contrary to the 
public interest, shall take effect at such time as the agency 
promulgating the rule determines. 5 U.S.C. 808(2). As stated 
previously, EPA has made such a good cause finding, including the 
reasons therefor, and established an effective date of June 15, 1998. 
EPA will submit 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 the Federal Register. This rule is not a ``major rule'' as 
defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2).
