Summary

On August 28, 2009, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) issued a final rule titled “Revisions to the California State Implementation Plan, Antelope Valley Air Quality Management District.” That publication inadvertently omitted regulatory text rescinding four previously approved rules for the Antelope Valley Air Quality Management District portion of the California State Implementation Plan (SIP). On September 20, 2016, the EPA issued a final rule titled “Approval of California Air Plan Revisions, Department of Pesticide Regulations.” That publication listed the wrong EPA approval dates and Federal Register citations for certain rules. The EPA is proposing action to correct these errors.

Supplementary Information

Throughout this document, wherever “we”, “us” or “our” are used, we mean the EPA. In the Rules and Regulations section of this Federal Register , we are correcting the inadvertent omission in our August 28, 2009 direct final rule of regulatory text removing four rules from the Antelope Valley Air Quality Management District (AQMD) portion of the California SIP. We are also correcting the EPA approval dates and Federal Register citations for certain rules adopted by the California Department of Pesticide Regulations that we approved in a September 20, 2016 final rule. We are taking these actions in a direct final action without prior proposal because we believe this error correction action is not controversial. If we receive adverse comments, however, we will publish a timely withdrawal of the direct final rule and address the comments in a subsequent action based on this proposed rule. We do not plan to open a second comment period, so anyone interested in commenting should do so at this time. If we do not receive adverse comments, no further activity is planned. For further information, please see the direct final action. Dated: March 20, 2022. Martha Guzman Aceves, Regional Administrator, Region IX. [FR Doc. 2022-06291 Filed 3-24-22; 8:45 am]
