Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans; 
Pennsylvania; Redesignation of the Harrisburg-Lebanon-Carlisle-York 
Nonattainment Areas to Attainment for the 1997 Annual and the 2006 24-
Hour Fine Particulate Matter Standard; Correction

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.

ACTION: Final rule; correcting amendment.

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

SUMMARY: This document corrects errors in the rule language of a final 
rule pertaining to the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania's requests to 
redesignate to attainment the Harrisburg-Lebanon-Carlisle and York 
nonattainment areas for the 1997 annual fine particulate matter 
(PM2.5) national ambient air quality standard (NAAQS) and 
the Harrisburg-Lebanon-Carlisle-York 2006 24-hour PM2.5 
NAAQS nonattainment area, which was published in the Federal Register 
on Tuesday, December 8, 2014 (79 FR 72552).

DATES: This document is effective on February 11, 2015.

email at quinto.rose@.epa.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On December 8, 2014, (79 FR 72552), the 
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) published a final rulemaking 
action announcing the approval of Pennsylvania's requests to 
redesignate to attainment the Harrisburg-Lebanon-Carlisle and York 
nonattainment areas for the 1997 annual PM2.5 NAAQS and the 
Harrisburg-Lebanon-Carlisle-York 2006 24-hour PM2.5 NAAQS 
nonattainment area.

Need for Correction

    As published, the final redesignation contains errors. EPA 
inadvertently added the word ``Moderate'' in the tables for the 1997 
annual and the 2006 24-hour PM2.5 NAAQS. The intent of the 
final rule was to redesignate the Areas to attainment. Moderate is a 
classification for nonattainment areas. This action corrects the tables 
of 40 CFR part 81 for Pennsylvania's 1997 annual and 2006 24-hour 
PM2.5 NAAQS.
