40 CFR Part 81

[EPA-HQ-OAR-2013-0694; FRL 9917-34-Region 5]

Identification of Nonattainment Classification and Deadlines for 
Submission of State Implementation Plan (SIP) Provisions for the 1997 
Fine Particle (PM2.5) National Ambient Air Quality Standard 
(NAAQS) and 2006 PM2.5 NAAQS; Correction

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Correcting amendments.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) published a final 
rule in the Federal Register on June 2, 2014, updating 40 CFR part 81, 
``Designation of Areas for Air Quality Planning Purposes'' for the 1997 
and 2006 PM2.5 NAAQS nonattainment areas. An error in the 
table for the Wisconsin 2006 24-hour PM2.5 NAAQS in 40 CFR 
81.350 is identified and corrected in this action.

DATES: This final rule is effective on October 3, 2014.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Christos Panos, Environmental 
Engineer, Attainment Planning and Maintenance Section, Air Programs 
Branch (AR-18J), Environmental Protection Agency, Region 5, 77 West 
Jackson Boulevard, Chicago, Illinois 60604, (312) 353-8328, 
panos.christos@epa.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: EPA published a final rule document on June 
2, 2014, (79 FR 31566) updating 40 CFR part 81, ``Designation of Areas 
for Air Quality Planning Purposes'' for the 1997 and 2006 
PM2.5 NAAQS nonattainment areas. This final rule included 
revisions to 40 CFR 81.350 to remove the tables titled ``Wisconsin--
PM2.5 (Annual NAAQS)'' and ``Wisconsin--PM2.5 
[24-hour NAAQS]'' and to add three tables titled ``Wisconsin--1997 
Annual PM2.5 NAAQS (Primary and Secondary)'' and 
``Wisconsin--1997 24-hour PM2.5 NAAQS (Primary and 
Secondary)'' and ``Wisconsin--2006 24-hour PM2.5 NAAQS 
(Primary and Secondary)''. The entry for the Milwaukee-Racine 
designated area in the Wisconsin--2006 24-hour PM2.5 NAAQS 
table erroneously indicated that the area was designated as 
nonattainment when, in fact, the area had been redesignated to 
attainment status on April 22, 2014. 79 FR 22415. Therefore, the entry 
for the Milwaukee-Racine area is being corrected to reflect the correct 
attainment designation.
