-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This document corrects an error in the docket number of a 
final rule pertaining to a determination that the Greater Connecticut 
serious one-hour ozone nonattainment area did not meet the applicable 
deadline of November 15, 2007, for attaining the one-hour National 
Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS) for ozone. In addition, that same 
final rule determined that the Greater Connecticut serious one-hour 
ozone nonattainment area is currently attaining the now revoked one-
hour NAAQS for ozone. The correct docket number for this action is EPA-
R01-OAR-2011-0711.

DATES: This correction is effective on April 18, 2012.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On, March 16, 2012 (77 FR 15607), EPA 
published a final rulemaking notice announcing that the Greater 
Connecticut one-hour ozone nonattainment area did not meet its 
applicable one-hour ozone attainment date of November 15, 2007, based 
on 2005-2007 quality-assured ozone monitoring data. Separate from and 
independent of the first determination, EPA also determined that the 
Greater Connecticut one-hour ozone nonattainment area is currently 
attaining the one-hour ozone standard, based on the most recent three 
years (2008-2010) of complete, quality-assured ozone monitoring data at 
all monitoring sites in the area. In the March 16, 2012 final 
rulemaking, EPA inadvertently stated an incorrect docket number. The 
correct docket number for this action is EPA-R01-OAR-2011-0711. The 
Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPR) for this action (76 FR 72377; 
November 23, 2011) included the correct docket number. Thus, the public 
had appropriate opportunity to comment on the NPR.
