In
the
June
29,
2005,
draft
of
the
subject
draft
guidance
document,
footnote
9
inadvertently
contained
the
following
sentence:
"
Paragraph
(
a)(
1)
indicates
an
OTA
must
meet
the
criteria
as
specified
for
rural
transport
areas
under
section
182(
h)
of
the
CAA;
however,
EPA
is
proposing
to
revise
this
to
allow
for
an
area
that
meets
the
section
182(
h)
criteria­­
except
it
is
adjacent
to
a
county
or
counties
in
an
adjacent
C/
MSA,
where
the
adjacent
county/
counties
is/
are
designated
attainment."

The
clause
following
the
semicolon
was
erroneously
included
and
the
entire
footnote
should
read:
"
Paragraph
(
a)(
1)
indicates
an
OTA
must
meet
the
criteria
as
specified
for

transport
areas
under

of
the
CAA."
