position 38°50′52.4′′ N, 077°01′10.9′′ W, 

including the waters of the Washington 

Channel; (3) the area comprising Zone 3, 

all navigable waters of the Potomac 

River, from shoreline to shoreline, 

bounded to the north by a line drawn 

from the Virginia shoreline at Ronald 

Reagan Washington National Airport, at 

38°51′21.3′′ N, 077°02′00.0′′ W, eastward 

across the Potomac River to the District 

of Columbia shoreline at Hains Point at 

position 38°51′24.3′′ N, 077°01′19.8′′ W, 

thence southward across the Anacostia 

River to the District of Columbia 

shoreline at Giesboro Point at position 

38°50′52.4′′ N, 077°01′10.9′′ W, and 

bounded to the south by the Woodrow 

Wilson Memorial (I–95/I–495) Bridge, at 

mile 103.8. 

As specified in § 165.508 (b), during 

the enforcement period, entry into or 

remaining in the zone is prohibited 

unless authorized by the Coast Guard 

Captain of the Port Maryland-National 

Capital Region. Public vessels and 

vessels already at berth at the time the 

security zone is implemented do not 

have to depart the security zone. All 

vessels underway within the security 

zone at the time it is implemented are 

to depart the zone at the time the 

security zone is implemented. To seek 

permission to transit the zone, the 

Captain of the Port Maryland-National 

Capital Region can be contacted at 

telephone number (410) 576–2693 or on 

Marine Band Radio, VHF–FM channel 

16 (156.8 MHz). Coast Guard vessels 

enforcing this zone can be contacted on 

Marine Band Radio, VHF–FM channel 

16 (156.8 MHz). The Coast Guard may 

be assisted by other Federal, state or 

local law enforcement agencies in 

enforcing this regulation. If the Captain 

of the Port or his designated on-scene 

patrol personnel determines the security 

zone need not be enforced for the full 

duration stated in this notice, a 

Broadcast Notice to Mariners may be 

used to suspend enforcement and grant 

general permission to enter the security 

zone. 

This notification of enforcement is 

issued under authority of 33 CFR 

165.508 and 5 U.S.C. 552(a). In addition 

to this notification of enforcement in the 

Federal Register, the Coast Guard will 

provide notification of this enforcement 

period via the Local Notice to Mariners 

and marine information broadcasts. 

Dated: January 2, 2025.

Captain, U.S. Coast Guard, Captain of the 

Port, Sector Maryland-National Capital 

Region.

Review of Final Rule Reclassification 

of Major Sources as Area Sources 

Under Section 112 of the Clean Air Act; 

Correction 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Final rule; correction. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) is making corrections to 

the Review of Final Rule 

Reclassification of Major Sources as 

Area Sources Under Section 112 of the 

Clean Air Act (CAA) final rule that 

appeared in the Federal Register on

publication of this final rule, the EPA 

discovered an inadvertent typographical 

error in the regulatory text and is 

correcting the error in this action. 

DATES: The final rule is effective on 

January 7, 2025. 

ADDRESSES: The EPA has established a 

docket for this rulemaking under Docket 

ID No. EPA–HQ–OAR–2023–0330. All

I. Summary of Final Action 

The EPA is making a correction to the 

Review of Final Rule Reclassification of 

Major Sources as Area Sources Under 

Section 112 of the Clean Air Act (CAA) 

final rule that appeared in the Federal 

Register on September 10, 2024 (89 FR 

73293). In the September 10, 2024, final 

rule, the EPA amended 40 CFR 

63.1(c)(6) to include a requirement that 

sources subject to certain major source 

NESHAP used to meet the Agency’s 

obligations under the CAA for seven 

specific persistent and bioaccumulative 

pollutants must remain subject to those 

NESHAP even if the sources reclassify 

to area source status. 

Following publication of this final 

rule, the EPA discovered an inadvertent 

typographical error in the regulatory 

text in 40 CFR 63.1(c)(6) and is 

correcting the error in this action. 

Specifically, as finalized on September 

10, 2024, the regulatory text in 40 CFR 

63.1(c)(6)(iii) included a reference to 40 

CFR part 63 subpart HHH (National 

Emission Standards for Hazardous Air 

Pollutants from Natural Gas 

Transmission and Storage Facilities) 

instead of the correct reference, 40 CFR 

part 63 subpart MMM (National 

Emission Standards for Hazardous Air 

Pollutants for Pesticide Active 

Ingredient Production). This error was 

included in the table of CAA 112(c)(6) 

categories placed in the docket for the 

Review of Final Rule Reclassification of 

Major Sources as Area Sources Under 

Section 112 of the Clean Air Act (docket 

ID: EPA–HQ–OAR–2023–0330–0033). 

The table included the correct source 

category rule name, National Emission 

Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants 

for Pesticide Active Ingredient 

Production, but instead of referencing 

the correct regulation reference to 40 

CFR part 63 subpart MMM, it referenced 

40 CFR part 63 subpart HHH. This error 

found in the table included in the 

docket was cross referenced in the 

regulatory text of the final rulemaking. 

This action corrects this inadvertent 

typographical error by removing the 

reference to 40 CFR part 63 subpart 

HHH from 40 CFR 63.1(c)(6)(iii) and 

adding the correct reference to 40 CFR 

part 63 subpart MMM. 

II. Rulemaking Procedures 

The EPA’s authority for the 

rulemaking procedures followed in this 

action is provided by the Administrative 

Procedure Act (APA), 5 U.S.C. 553. In 

general, an agency issuing a rule must 

provide prior notice and an opportunity 

for public comment, but APA section 

553(b)(B) includes an exemption from 

notice-and-comment requirements 

‘‘when the agency for good cause finds 

(and incorporates the finding and a brief 

statement of reasons therefor in the rule 

issued) that notice and public procedure 

thereon are impracticable, unnecessary, 

or contrary to the public interest.’’ This 

action is being issued without prior 

notice or opportunity for public 

comment because the EPA finds that the 

APA ‘‘good cause’’ exemption from 

notice-and-comment requirements 

applies here. 

Following notice-and-comment 

procedures is unnecessary for this 

action. This action corrects a 


ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with RULES1
Federal Register / Vol. 90, No. 4 / Tuesday, January 7, 2025 / Rules and Regulations 1041 

typographical error to correct a 

reference in 40 CFR 63.1(c)(6)(iii) to 40 

CFR part 63 subpart MMM instead of 40 

CFR part 63 subpart HHH. It is critical 

to timely correct the identified error to 

avoid confusion. 

This action is effective immediately 

upon publication. The APA typically 

requires publication of a final rule to 

precede its effective date by at least 30 

days unless, as relevant here, the agency 

finds good cause to make the rule 

effective sooner. APA section 553(b)(B). 

Under APA section 553(d), these 

technical corrections are both necessary 

and beneficial to regulated entities in 

understanding and complying with the 

final rule’s requirements. Further, 

because this rule does not impose any 

new regulatory requirements, the 

regulated community does not need 

time to prepare for it to come into effect. 

See Omnipoint Corp. v. Fed. Commc’n 

Comm’n, 78 F.3d 620, 630 (D.C. Cir. 

1996) (in determining whether good 

cause exists to make a rule immediately 

effective, an agency should ‘‘balance the 

necessity for immediate implementation 

against principles of fundamental 

fairness which require that all affected 

persons be afforded a reasonable 

amount of time to prepare for the 

effective date of its ruling’’). 

Good cause exists for this rule to be 

made immediately effective. The EPA 

has balanced the necessity for 

immediate implementation against the 

benefits of delaying implementation. 

Because this rule makes a typographical 

correction to a rule that has already 

been promulgated, the public is aware 

of the content of the rule. Making the 

corrections effective immediately will 

make the regulatory text consistent with 

what the proposed rule and the 

preamble to the final rule have 

described.

ACTION: Final determination. 

SUMMARY: This action finalizes the Clean

conducted for the commercial and 

industrial dry cleaning facilities using 

perchloroethylene (PCE) as the cleaning 

solvent (PCE Dry Cleaning) source 

categories regulated under National

the current NESHAP given the recently 

finalized action under the Toxic 

Substance Control Act (TSCA) which 

has instituted a 10-year phaseout of the 

use of PCE for dry cleaning.
