SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    The EPA issued ``Air Plan Approval; AK: Fine Particulate Matter 
Infrastructure Requirements'' as a final rule on November 27, 2018 (83 
FR 60769). This final rule approved the Alaska SIP as meeting specific 
infrastructure requirements for the fine particulate matter 
(PM2.5) national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS). For 
more information, please see the EPA's rulemaking action at https://www.regulations.gov under Docket ID No. EPA-R10-OAR-2017-0597, and the 
Federal Register publications for the proposed rule on January 23, 2018 
(83 FR 3101), and the final rule on November 27, 2018 (83 FR 60769).

Need for Correction

    As published, the regulatory text in the final rule contains a 
minor error that, if not corrected, prevents publication of the 
regulatory amendment in the Code of Federal Regulations. The 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. The EPA finds that the corrections are merely 
correcting the wording 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 final rule for ``Air Plan Approval; 
AK: Fine Particulate Matter Infrastructure Requirements'' published 
November 27, 2018 (83 FR 60769), the EPA is correcting a minor error in 
amendatory instruction number 2.b. Instruction number 2.b. reads 
``Adding entries `Infrastructure Requirements--2012 PM2.5 
NAAQS' and `Infrastructure Requirements--1997, 2006, and 2012 
PM2.5 NAAQS' after entry `Interstate Transport 
Requirements--2010 SO2 NAAQS'.'' However, there is no entry 
``Interstate Transport Requirements--2010 SO2 NAAQS''. The 
EPA is correcting this error so that amendatory instruction number 2.b. 
reads ``Adding

[[Page 66631]]

entries `Infrastructure Requirements--2012 PM2.5 NAAQS' and 
`Infrastructure Requirements--1997, 2006, and 2012 PM2.5 
NAAQS' after entry `Infrastructure Requirements--2010 SO2 
NAAQS' ''.
    In FR Doc. 2018-25681, published November 27, 2018 (83 FR 60769), 
make the following correction:

Sec.  52.70  [Corrected]

0
1. On page 60773, in the right column, in the amendatory instruction 
for Sec.  52.70, amendatory instruction 2.b. is corrected to read 
``Adding entries ``Infrastructure Requirements--2012 PM2.5 
NAAQS'' and ``Infrastructure Requirements--1997, 2006, and 2012 
PM2.5 NAAQS'' after entry ``Infrastructure Requirements--
2010 SO2 NAAQS'' ''.
