ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[EPA-R04-OAR-2021-0618; FRL-9242-03-R4]

Air Plan Approval; North Carolina; Volatile Organic Compound 
Regulations; Correction

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Final rule; correction.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) published a final 
rule that appeared in the Federal Register on August 4, 2023, titled 
``Air Plan Approval; North Carolina; Volatile Organic Compound 
Regulations.'' The document approved revisions to the North Carolina 
State Implementation Plan concerning several updates to the North 
Carolina Department of Environmental Quality's air regulations which 
apply to sources that emit volatile organic compounds. EPA approved 
those changes pursuant to the Clean Air Act. An error in the 
instructions amending the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) in the 
document is identified and corrected in this action. This correction 
does not change any final action taken by EPA in the August 4, 2023, 
final rule.

DATES: Effective September 8, 2023.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: EPA published a final rule in the Federal 
Register on August 4, 2023 (88 FR 51713), titled ``Air Plan Approval; 
North Carolina; Volatile Organic Compound Regulations.'' The final rule 
approved changes to the following regulations in North Carolina's SIP: 
15A North Carolina Administrative Code Subchapter 02D, Rules .0901,

However, the Federal Register document contained an error in the 
instructions regarding amendments to the table titled ``EPA-Approved 
North Carolina Regulations'' found at 40 CFR 52.1770(c)(1). See 88 FR 
51715. In the instructions, EPA inadvertently referred to the table 
entries to be amended as ``Section .0901,'' ``Section .0902,'' 
``Section .0903,'' ``Section .0906,'' ``Section .0909,'' ``Section 
.0912,'' ``Section .0918,'' ``Section .0919,'' ``Section .0922,'' 
``Section .0923,'' ``Section .0924,'' ``Section .0925,'' ``Section 
.0928,'' ``Section .0930,'' ``Section .0931,'' ``Section .0933,'' 
``Section .0935,'' ``Section .0937,'' ``Section .0943,'' ``Section 
.0944,'' ``Section .0945,'' ``Section .0947,'' ``Section .0948,'' 
``Section .0949,'' ``Section .0951,'' ``Section .0955,'' ``Section 
.0956,'' ``Section .0957,'' ``Section .0961,'' ``Section .0962,'' 
``Section .0963,'' ``Section .0964,'' ``Section .0965,'' ``Section 
.0966,'' ``Section .0967,'' and ``Section .0968'' instead of ``Rule 
.0901,'' ``Rule .0902,'' ``Rule .0903,'' ``Rule .0906,'' ``Rule 
.0909,'' ``Rule .0912,'' ``Rule .0918,'' ``Rule .0919,'' ``Rule 
.0922,'' ``Rule .0923,'' ``Rule .0924,'' ``Rule .0925,'' ``Rule 
.0928,'' ``Rule .0930,'' ``Rule .0931,'' ``Rule .0933,'' ``Rule 
.0935,'' ``Rule .0937,'' ``Rule .0943,'' ``Rule .0944,'' ``Rule 
.0945,'' ``Rule .0947,'' ``Rule .0948,'' ``Rule .0949,'' ``Rule 
.0951,'' ``Rule .0955,'' ``Rule .0956,'' ``Rule .0957,'' ``Rule 
.0961,'' ``Rule .0962,'' ``Rule .0963,'' ``Rule .0964,'' ``Rule 
.0965,'' ``Rule .0966,'' ``Rule .0967,'' and ``Rule .0968'' and 
therefore inadvertently sought to replace, rather than revise, those 
entries. EPA is now correcting that error.
