#  Pennsylvania.

**AGENCY:**

Environmental Protection Agency.

**ACTION:**

Final rule; correcting amendment.

**SUMMARY:**

This document corrects errors in the rule language of a final rule pertaining to the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania's requests to redesignate to attainment the Harrisburg-Lebanon-Carlisle and York nonattainment areas for the 1997 annual fine particulate matter (PM <sub>2.5</sub> ) national ambient air quality standard (NAAQS) and the Harrisburg-Lebanon-Carlisle-York 2006 24-hour PM <sub>2.5</sub> NAAQS nonattainment area, which was published in the *Federal Register* on Tuesday, December 8, 2014 (79 FR 72552).

**DATES:**

This document is effective on February 11, 2015.

**FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:**

Rose Quinto, (215) 814-2182 or by email at *[email protected].*

**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:**

On December 8, 2014, (79 FR 72552), the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) published a final rulemaking action announcing the approval of Pennsylvania's requests to redesignate to attainment the Harrisburg-Lebanon-Carlisle and York nonattainment areas for the 1997 annual PM <sub>2.5</sub> NAAQS and the Harrisburg-Lebanon-Carlisle-York 2006 24-hour PM <sub>2.5</sub> NAAQS nonattainment area.

**Need for Correction**

As published, the final redesignation contains errors. EPA inadvertently added the word “Moderate” in the tables for the 1997 annual and the 2006 24-hour PM <sub>2.5</sub> NAAQS. The intent of the final rule was to redesignate the Areas to attainment. Moderate is a classification for nonattainment areas. This action corrects the tables of 40 CFR part 81 for Pennsylvania's 1997 annual and 2006 24-hour PM <sub>2.5</sub> NAAQS.

**List of Subjects in 40 CFR Part 81**

Air pollution, National Parks, Wilderness areas.

Dated: January 28, 2015.

William C. Early,

Acting Regional Administrator, EPA Region III.

Accordingly, 40 CFR part 81 is corrected by making the following correcting amendments:

**40 CFR Part 81**

**PART 81—DESIGNATION OF AREAS FOR AIR QUALITY PLANNING PURPOSES**

1. The authority citation for part 81 continues to read as follows:

**Authority:**

42 U.S.C. 7401 *et seq.*

**40 CFR Part 81**

2. In § 81.339:

a. The 1997 Annual PM <sub>2.5</sub> NAAQS table is amended by revising the entries for the Harrisburg-Lebanon-Carlisle, PA and York, PA Areas.

b. The 2006 24-Hour PM <sub>2.5</sub> NAAQS table is amended by revising the entry for the Harrisburg-Lebanon-Carlisle-York, PA Area.

The revisions read as follows:
