SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    The EPA issued ``Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; 
Alaska; Interstate Transport of Pollution'' as a direct final rule on 
October 15, 2008, 73 FR 60955. This direct final rule approved the 
State of Alaska's demonstration that its emissions do not significantly 
contribute to nonattainment or interfere with maintenance of the NAAQS 
in another state, or interfere with measures required to be included in 
the SIP for any other State to prevent significant deterioration of air 
quality or to protect visibility. For more information about this 
action, please see the proposed and final rulemaking actions which are 
available at www.regulations.gov and also in the Federal Register at 73 
FR 60955 and 73 FR 60996.

Need for Correction

    As published, the regulatory text in the direct final regulation 
contains a minor error that, if not corrected, prevents publication of 
the regulatory amendment in the Code of Federal Regulations. EPA finds 
that there is good cause to make this correction without providing for 
notice and comment because neither notice nor comment is necessary and 
would not be in the public interest due to the nature of the correction 
which is minor, technical and does not change the obligations already 
existing in the rule. EPA finds that the corrections are merely 
correcting the numbering in the amendatory language so that the 
provision may be published in the Code of Federal Regulations.

Corrections of Publication

    In the regulatory text to the direct final rule for ``Approval and 
Promulgation of Implementation Plans; Alaska; Interstate Transport of 
Pollution,'' October 15, 2008, 73 FR 60955, EPA is correcting an 
inadvertent minor error in instruction number 2. Instruction number 2 
reads ``Section 52.97 is added to read as follows:'', but in the actual 
text just below that statement the added section is designated 
inadvertently as ``Section 52.70.'' EPA is correcting this inadvertent 
minor error so that the amendatory instruction number 2 continues to 
read ``Section 52.97 is added to read as follows:'', but the actual 
text just below that statement ``Sec.  52.70'' is changed to read 
``Sec.  52.97.''

Sec.  52.97  [Corrected]

    In FR Doc. E8-24279 published October 15, 2008 (73 FR 60955), make 
the following correction. On page 60957, in the center column, the 
section heading following amendatory instruction 2 is corrected to read 
as follows:

Sec.  52.97  Interstate Transport for the 1997 8-hour ozone and PM2.5 
NAAQS.
