AGENCY:
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION:
Final rule; technical amendment.
SUMMARY:
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is amending its regulations to update addresses and names of air quality agencies in EPA Region IX. This action is editorial in nature and is intended to provide accuracy and clarity to EPA's regulations.
DATES:
This rule is effective December 12, 2023.
ADDRESSES:
EPA Region IX, Air and Radiation Division, 75 Hawthorne Street, San Francisco, California, 94105.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Kira Wiesinger, EPA Region IX. By phone: (415) 972–3827 or by email at wiesinger.kira@epa.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
This rule makes editorial changes to various environmental regulations in title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) to update addresses and names for air quality agencies in EPA Region IX. It does not otherwise impose or amend any requirements. Pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 533 (b)(3)(B) of the Administrative Procedure Act (APA), the EPA has found that the public notice and comment provisions of the APA, found at 5 U.S.C. 553(b), do not apply to this rulemaking as public notice and comment is unnecessary because this amendment to the regulations provides only technical changes to update an address or name of air quality agencies. The EPA has also determined that there is good cause to waive the requirement of publication 30 days in advance of the rule's effective date pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3) in order for the public to have the correct addresses and names for air quality agencies in EPA Region IX. As this action updates the CFR and does not otherwise impose or amend any requirements, the EPA has determined it does not trigger any requirements of the statutes and Executive Orders that govern rulemaking procedures. This action is subject to the Congressional Review Act, and the EPA will submit a rule report to each House of the Congress and to the Comptroller General of the United States. This action is not a “major rule” as defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2).
