#  [Corrected]

**AGENCY:**

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

**ACTION:**

Final rule; correction.

**SUMMARY:**

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is correcting a final rule that appeared in the *Federal Register* on July 12, 2023. The final rule determined the applicable volume requirements and percentage standards for the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) for 2023 through 2025 for cellulosic biofuel, biomass-based diesel, advanced biofuel, and total renewable fuel, established the second supplemental standard addressing the judicial remand of the 2016 standard-setting rulemaking, and made several regulatory changes to the RFS program. This document corrects several amendatory instructions in the regulatory text in the final rule, but does not make any substantive changes.

**DATES:**

This correction is effective on September 11, 2023.

**ADDRESSES:**

EPA has established a docket for this action under Docket ID No. EPA-HQ-OAR-2021-0427. All documents in the docket are listed on the *https://www.regulations.gov* website. Although listed in the index, some information is not publicly available, *e.g.,* confidential business information (CBI) or other information whose disclosure is restricted by statute. Certain other material is not available on the internet and will be publicly available only in hard copy form.

**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:**

EPA is making several corrections for inadvertent errors in the amendatory instructions and regulatory text for the final rule:

• 40 CFR 80.140(a)(8) should be 40 CFR 80.140(a)(7).

• Instruction 17.l removes and replaces the text “Table 1 to this section, or a D code as approved by the Administrator, which”, but should remove and replace the text “Table 1 to this section, or D codes as approved by the Administrator, which”.

• Instruction 17.x amends 40 CFR 80.1426(f)(5)(v), but should amend 40 CFR 80.1426(f)(4)(ii).

• Instruction 20.d redesignates 40 CFR 80.1429(b)(5), but should also redesignate 40 CFR 80.1429(b)(5)(i) and (ii).

• Instruction 27.a removes and replaces the text “the Administrator” in 40 CFR 80.1443(a), (b), and (e), but should also remove and replace the text “The Administrator”.

• Instruction 29.b amends 40 CFR 80.1450(b)(1)(ii), but should more specifically amend 40 CFR 80.1450(b)(1)(ii) introductory text.

• Instruction 29.q removes and replaces the text “The Administrator” in 40 CFR 80.1450(g)(11)(i), (ii), (iii), and (i)(1), but should also remove and replace the text “the Administrator”.

• Instruction 33.c removes and replaces the text “§ 80.1401” in 40 CFR 80.1453(d) and (f)(1)(vi), but should also remove and replace the text “40 CFR 80.1401”.

• Instruction 34.i removes 40 CFR 80.1454(d) introductory text, but should instead revise 40 CFR 80.1454(d) introductory text.

Section 553(b)(B) of the Administrative Procedure Act, 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B), provides that, when an agency for good cause finds that public notice and comment procedures are impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to the public interest, the agency may issue a rule without providing notice and an opportunity for public comment. EPA has determined that there is good cause for making this technical correction final without prior proposal and opportunity for comment because such notice and opportunity for comment is unnecessary as the technical correction is for minor typographical, non-substantive errors only.
