SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: EPA published a final rule in the **Federal Register** on August 4, 2023 (88 FR 51713), titled “Air Plan Approval; North Carolina; Volatile Organic Compound Regulations.” The final rule approved changes to the following regulations in North Carolina's SIP: 15A North Carolina Administrative Code Subchapter 02D, Rules .0901, *Definitions;* .0902, *Applicability;* .0903, *Recordkeeping: Reporting: Monitoring;* .0906, *Circumvention;* .0909, *Compliance Schedules for Sources in Ozone Nonattainment and Maintenance Areas;* .0912, *General Provisions on Test Methods and Procedures;* .0918, *Can Coating;* .0919, *Coil Coating;* .0922, *Metal Furniture Coatings;* .0923, *Surface Coating of Large Appliance Parts;* .0924, *Magnet Wire Coating;* .0925, *Petroleum Liquid Storage in Fixed Roof Tanks;* .0928, *Gasoline Service Stations Stage 1;* .0930, *Solvent Metal Cleaning;* .0931, *Cutback Asphalt;* .0933, *Petroleum Liquid Storage in External Floating Roof Tanks;* .0935, *Factory Surface Coating of Flat Wood Paneling;* .0937, *Manufacture of Pneumatic Rubber Tires;* .0943, *Synthetic Organic Chemical and Polymer Manufacturing;* .0944, *Manufacture of Polyethylene: Polypropylene and Polystyrene;* .0945 *Petroleum Dry Cleaning;* .0947, *Manufacture of Synthesized Pharmaceutical Products;* .0948, *VOC Emissions from Transfer Operations;* .0949, *Storage of Miscellaneous Volatile Organic Compounds;* .0951, *RACT For Sources of Volatile Organic Compounds;* .0955, *Thread Bonding Manufacturing;* .0956, *Glass Christmas Ornament Manufacturing;* .0957, *Commercial Bakeries;* .0961, *Offset Lithographic Printing and Letterpress Printing;* .0962, *Industrial Cleaning Solvents;* .0963, *Fiberglass Boat Manufacturing Materials;* .0964, *Miscellaneous Industrial Adhesives;* .0965, *Flexible Package Printing;* .0966, *Paper, Film and Foil Coatings;* .0967, *Miscellaneous Metal and Plastic Parts Coatings;* and .0968, *Automobile and Light Duty Truck Assembly Coatings.* However, the **Federal Register** document contained an error in the instructions regarding amendments to the table titled “EPA-Approved North Carolina Regulations” found at 40 CFR 52.1770(c)(1). *See* 88 FR 51715. In the instructions, EPA inadvertently referred to the table entries to be amended as “Section .0901,” “Section .0902,” “Section .0903,” “Section .0906,” “Section .0909,” “Section .0912,” “Section .0918,” “Section .0919,” “Section .0922,” “Section .0923,” “Section .0924,” “Section .0925,” “Section .0928,” “Section .0930,” “Section .0931,” “Section .0933,” “Section .0935,” “Section .0937,” “Section .0943,” “Section .0944,” “Section .0945,” “Section .0947,” “Section .0948,” “Section .0949,” “Section .0951,” “Section .0955,” “Section .0956,” “Section .0957,” “Section .0961,” “Section .0962,” “Section .0963,” “Section .0964,” “Section .0965,” “Section .0966,” “Section .0967,” and “Section .0968” instead of “Rule .0901,” “Rule .0902,” “Rule .0903,” “Rule .0906,” “Rule .0909,” “Rule .0912,” “Rule .0918,” “Rule .0919,” “Rule .0922,” “Rule .0923,” “Rule .0924,” “Rule .0925,” “Rule .0928,” “Rule .0930,” “Rule .0931,” “Rule .0933,” “Rule .0935,” “Rule .0937,” “Rule .0943,” “Rule .0944,” “Rule .0945,” “Rule .0947,” “Rule .0948,” “Rule .0949,” “Rule .0951,” “Rule .0955,” “Rule .0956,” “Rule .0957,” “Rule .0961,” “Rule .0962,” “Rule .0963,” “Rule .0964,” “Rule .0965,” “Rule .0966,” “Rule .0967,” and “Rule .0968” and therefore inadvertently sought to replace, rather than revise, those entries. EPA is now correcting that error. Correction § 52.1770 [Corrected] In FR Doc. 2023-16600, published at 88 FR 51713 in the issue of August 4, 2023, on page 51715, in the second and third columns, amendatory instruction 2 for § 52.1770 is corrected to read as follows: 2. In § 52.1770, amend the table in paragraph (c)(1) by revising the entries for “Rule .0901,” “Rule .0902,” “Rule .0903,” “Rule .0906,” “Rule .0909,” “Rule .0912,” “Rule .0918,” “Rule .0919,” “Rule .0922,” “Rule .0923,” “Rule .0924,” “Rule .0925,” “Rule .0928,” “Rule .0930,” “Rule .0931,” “Rule .0933,” “Rule .0935,” “Rule .0937,” “Rule .0943,” “Rule .0944,” “Rule .0945,” “Rule .0947,” “Rule .0948,” “Rule .0949,” “Rule .0951,” “Rule .0955,” “Rule .0956,” “Rule .0957,” “Rule .0961,” “Rule .0962,” “Rule .0963,” “Rule .0964,” “Rule .0965,” “Rule .0966,” “Rule .0967,” and “Rule .0968” to read as follows: Dated: August 25, 2023.
