EPA is publishing this action to provide the public with notice of the update to the Vermont State Implementation Plan (SIP) compilation. In particular, materials submitted by Vermont that are incorporated by reference (IBR) into the Vermont SIP are being updated to reflect EPA-approved revisions to Vermont's SIP that have occurred since the last update. In this action EPA is also notifying the public of the correction of a certain typographical error within the table in the regulations, and modification of the Federal Register citations to reflect the first page of the applicable Federal Register document.
SIP materials which are incorporated by reference into 40 CFR part 52 are available for inspection at the following locations: Environmental Protection Agency, New England Regional Office (Region 1), One Congress Street, Suite 1100, Boston, MA 02114-2023; the Air and Radiation Docket and Information Center, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, 1301 Constitution Avenue, NW., Room B-108, Washington, DC 20460; or the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA).

Mr. Donald Cooke, Environmental Scientist, at the above EPA New England Region address or at (617) 918-1668 or by e-mail at cooke.donald@epa.gov.
The SIP is a living document which the State can revise as necessary to address its unique air pollution problems. Therefore, EPA from time to time must take action on SIP revisions containing new and/or revised regulations as being part of the SIP. On May 22, 1997, (62 FR 27968), Start Printed Page 14389EPA revised the procedures for incorporation by reference (IBR) federally-approved SIPs, as a result of consultations between EPA and the Office of Federal Register (OFR). The description of the revised SIP document, IBR procedures and “Identification of plan” format are discussed in further detail in the May 22, 1997 Federal Register document. On September 8, 2000 (65 FR 54413), EPA published a Federal Register beginning the new IBR procedure for Vermont. In this document, EPA is doing the following:
1. Announcing the update to the Vermont IBR material as of February 10, 2006.
2. Making a correction in the table to § 52.2370(c), entry “Chapter 5, Subchapter V, Section 5-501.”—The correct year for Federal Register volume 62 is 1997.
3. Correcting typographical errors listed in § 52.2370(c), (d) and (e) tables.—Modifying the Federal Register citation to reflect the beginning page of the preamble as opposed to the page of the regulatory text.
EPA has determined that today's rule falls under the “good cause” exemption in section 553(b)(3)(B) of the Administrative Procedures Act (APA) which, upon finding “good cause,” authorizes agencies to dispense with public participation and section 553(d)(3) which allows an agency to make a rule effective immediately (thereby avoiding the 30-day delayed effective date otherwise provided for in the APA). Today's rule simply codifies provisions which are already in effect as a matter of law in Federal and approved State programs, and corrects typographical errors. Under section 553 of the APA, an agency may find good cause where procedures are “impractical, unnecessary, or contrary to the public interest.” Public comment is “unnecessary” and “contrary to the public interest” since the codification (and typographical corrections) only reflects existing law. Immediate notice in the CFR benefits the public by removing outdated citations and incorrect chart entries.
EPA has also determined that the provisions of section 307(b)(1) of the Clean Air Act, pertaining to petitions for judicial review are not applicable to this action. Prior EPA rulemaking actions for each individual component of the Vermont SIP compilations had previously afforded interested parties the opportunity to file a petition for judicial review in the United States Court of Appeals for the appropriate circuit within 60 days of such rulemaking action. Thus, EPA sees no need in this action to reopen the 60-day period for filing such petitions for judicial review for this “Identification of plan” reorganization update action for Vermont.

2. Section 52.2370 is amended by revising paragraphs (b), (c), (d) and (e) to read as follows:
(b) Incorporation by reference.

Material is incorporated as it exists on the date of the approval, and notice of any change in the material will be published in the Federal Register.
