ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 70

[EPA-R09-OAR-2022-0623; FRL-10031-03-R9]


Clean Air Act Operating Permit Program; California; San Diego 
County Air Pollution Control District; Correction

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Direct final rule; correction.

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

SUMMARY: On December 23, 2022, the Environmental Protection Agency 
(EPA) published a direct final rule in the Federal Register to approve 
revisions to the Clean Air Act (CAA or ``Act'') Operating Permit 
Program (title V) of the San Diego County Air Pollution Control 
District (SDCAPCD or ``District'') in California. In that rulemaking, 
the EPA included an incorrect effective date in Section VI of the 
document and in the instructions to amend the regulatory text. This 
document corrects the errors in the direct final rule.

DATES: This correction is effective February 21, 2023.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In our direct final rule published December 
23, 2022 (87 FR 78871), the EPA included an incorrect effective date in 
the document and instructions to amend the regulatory text. We are 
correcting the effective date to the date 60 days after publication in 
the Federal Register because the language in 40 CFR 70.4(b)(11)(i) 
states that part 70 sources have one year to submit permit applications 
after the effective date of the permit program. Final rules from past 
actions in California match the effective date of the program with the

[[Page 7592]]

effective date of the federal rule, as indicated by the amendatory 
instructions to change the regulatory text in 40 CFR part 70, appendix 
A. See, e.g., 68 FR 74871 (December 29, 2003) (a direct final rule), 68 
FR 65637 (November 21, 2003), and 77 FR 54382 (September 5, 2012).
    The direct final rule published on December 23, 2022 (87 FR 78871) 
matches the effective date of the program with the publication date of 
the rule, which would give sources less than one year from the program 
effective date to submit their applications. The following amendatory 
instructions correct the effective dates in Section VI and the 
regulatory text in FR Doc. 2022-27725 appearing on pages 78871-78874 in 
the Federal Register of Friday, December 23, 2022:

to read ``If we do not receive timely adverse comments, this direct 
final approval will be effective without further notice on February 21, 
2023.''

Permits Programs [Corrected]

2. On page 78874, in the middle of the third column, the text ``(6) The 
District adopted revisions on October 14, 2021. The California Air 
Resources Board submitted revisions to the EPA on January 24, 2022. 
Approval is effective on December 23, 2022.'' is corrected to read 
``(6) The District adopted revisions on October 14, 2021. The 
California Air Resources Board submitted revisions to the EPA on 
January 24, 2022. Approval is effective on February 21, 2023.''
