ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 81

[EPA-R03-OAR-2013-0690; FRL-9921-31-Region 3]

Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans; 
West Virginia's Redesignation Request and Associated Maintenance Plan 
of the West Virginia Portion of the Martinsburg-Hagerstown, WV-MD 
Nonattainment Area for the 1997 Annual Fine Particulate Matter 
Standard; Correction

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.

ACTION: Final rule; correcting amendments.

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

SUMMARY: This document corrects an error in the rule language of a 
final rule pertaining to West Virginia's request to redesignate to 
attainment the West Virginia portion of the Martinsburg-Hagerstown, WV-
MD nonattainment area for the 1997 annual fine particulate matter 
(PM2.5) national ambient air quality standard (NAAQS), which 
was published in the Federal Register on Tuesday, November 25, 2014 (79 
FR 70099).

DATES: This document is effective on February 13, 2015.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Rose Quinto, (215) 814-2182 or by 
email at quinto.rose@.epa.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On November 25, 2014 (79 FR 70099), the 
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) published a final rulemaking 
action announcing the approval of West Virginia's request to 
redesignate to attainment the Martinsburg-Hagerstown, WV-MD 
nonattainment area for the 1997 annual PM2.5 NAAQS.

Need for Correction

    As published, the final redesignation contains an error. EPA 
inadvertently added the word ``Moderate'' in the table for the 1997 
annual PM2.5 NAAQS. The intent of the final rule was to 
redesignate the Area to attainment. Moderate is a classification for 
nonattainment areas. This action corrects the table of 40 CFR part 81 
for West Virginia's 1997 annual PM2.5 NAAQS.
