ACTION:
Final rule; correction.
SUMMARY:

This correction does not change any final action taken by EPA in the July 7, 2021, final rule but makes a correction to final regulations.
DATES:
This action is effective October 1, 2021.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
[top] On July 7, 2021 (86 FR 35610), EPA published a final rule in the Federal Register entitled "Air Plan Approval; AL; NO X SIP Call and Removal of CAIR" which became effective on August 6, 2021. The final rule approved the addition of regulations to Alabama's State Implementation Plan (SIP) to maintain compliance with their nitrogen oxides (NO X ) SIP Call obligations for large non-electricity generating units (non-EGUs), the repeal of the State's regulations previously sunsetted regarding the NOx Budget Trading Program, and the repeal of the State's Clean Air Interstate Rule (CAIR) regulations. 1 Additionally, the
Footnotes:
1 ? See 86 FR 35610 (July 7, 2021) for information on the NO X SIP Call, NO X Budget Trading Program, and CAIR.
However, the rule contained two errors in the instructions regarding amendments to the table titled "EPA-Approved Alabama Regulations" found at 40 CFR 52.50(c). See 86 FR at 35614. Because of the errors in the amendatory instructions, the Office of the Federal Register was not able to incorporate some of the changes and placed an editorial note at the bottom of 40 CFR 52.50. Although the rational for incorporating these changes remains the same as presented in the July 7, 2021, rule, EPA is now correcting the CFR to appropriately display the approved rules in the South Carolina SIP.
