SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. General Information

potentially affected by this action. If you have questions regarding
the applicability of this action to a particular entity, consult the
person listed under the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT.

Register document electronically through the EPA Internet under the

II. What Does this Correction Do?
FR Doc. 06-1939 published in the Federal Register of March 8, 2006
(71 FR 11519) (FRL-7758-2) is corrected as follows:
On page 11526, in the amendment to Sec. 180.495 (a), the table
establishing tolerances appeared as a two column table. The table
should have appeared as a three column table. The omitted third column
should include the heading ``Expiration/Revocation Date'', and the
entry ``None'' to correspond to the tolerance listed in each row. This
document is being published to correct that omission.
III. Why is this Correction Issued as a Final Rule?
Section 553 of the Administrative Procedure Act (APA), 5 U.S.C.
553(b)(B), provides that, when an Agency for good cause finds that
notice and public procedure are impracticable, unnecessary or contrary
to the public interest, the Agency may issue a final rule without
providing notice and an opportunity for public comment. EPA has
determined that there is good cause for making today's technical
correction final without prior proposal and opportunity for comment,
because because the use of notice and comment procedures are
unnecessary to effectuate this correction. EPA finds that this
constitutes good cause under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B).
IV. Do Any of the Statutory and Executive Order Reviews Apply to this
Action?
No. This action only corrects typographically omissions for a
previously published final rule and does not impose any new
requirements. EPA's compliance with the statutes and Executive Orders
for the underlying rule
[[Page 36015]]
is discussed in Unit VII. of the March 8, 2006, final rule (71 FR
11519).
V. Congressional Review Act
The Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801 et seq., as added by the
Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996, generally
provides that before a rule may take effect, the Agency promulgating
the rule must submit a rule report, which includes a copy of the rule,
to each House of the Congress and to the Comptroller General of the
United States. EPA will submit a report containing this rule and other
required information to the U.S. Senate, the U.S. House of
Representatives, and the Comptroller General of the United States prior
to publication of this final rule in the Federal Register. This final
rule is not a ``major rule'' as defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2).
