**AGENCY:**
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
**ACTION:**
Final rule; correction and correcting amendment.
**SUMMARY:**
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is correcting a final rule published in the *Federal Register* on March 6, 2024, that became effective on May 6, 2024. The final rule revised the primary annual PM <sub>2.5</sub> standard by lowering the level from 12.0 µg/m <sup>3</sup> to 9.0 µg/m <sup>3</sup> , retained the current primary 24-hour PM <sub>2.5</sub> standard and the primary 24-hour PM <sub>10</sub> standard, retained the secondary 24-hour PM <sub>2.5</sub> standard, secondary annual PM <sub>2.5</sub> standard, and secondary 24-hour PM <sub>10</sub> standard, and finalized revisions to the Air Quality Index (AQI) and monitoring requirements for the national ambient air quality standards for particulate matter (PM NAAQS). After publication, the EPA became aware of an error in the preamble text regarding the due date for infrastructure State implementation plan (infrastructure SIP) submissions for the 2024 p.m. NAAQS. With this action, the EPA is clarifying the due date for infrastructure SIP submissions for the 2024 p.m. NAAQS. The EPA is also correcting inadvertent errors in the PM <sub>2.5</sub> monitoring regulatory text. These corrections do not include any substantive changes to the final rule.
**DATES:**
This correction is effective on December 19, 2024.

**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:**
**I. General Information**
**A. What is the authority for this action?**
The EPA is correcting the deadline for infrastructure SIP submissions under its authority provided in section 110(a)(1) of the Clean Air Act (CAA) (42 U.S.C. 7410), which directs the States to submit their implementation plans within 3 years after promulgation of a primary or secondary NAAQS.
The EPA is also acting under the authority provided by CAA sections 103, 105, 110, 114, 301, 311, 314, and 319, which direct the EPA to develop and implement measures to conduct ambient air quality surveillance. Under this authority, this action implements minor, non-substantive typographical and technical corrections to conform the 40 CFR part 58 regulatory text to the rule's preamble and remedies regulatory text formatting errors.
**B. What corrective action is the Agency taking?**
**Correction to Preamble of March 6 Final Rule**
In the proposed rule published on January 27, 2023 (88 FR 5558), the preamble states that “Under CAA sections 110(a)(1), all states are required to make these infrastructure SIP submissions within 3 years after promulgation of a new or revised primary standard.” However, in the final rule published on March 6, 2024 (89 FR 16202), the preamble incorrectly and inadvertently states that “Under CAA section 110(a)(1), all States are required to make these infrastructure SIP submissions within three years after the effective date of a new or revised primary standard. While the CAA authorizes the EPA to set a shorter time for States to make these SIP submissions, the EPA is requiring submission of infrastructure SIPs within three years of the effective date of this revised primary annual PM <sub>2.5</sub> NAAQS.”
Pursuant to CAA section 110(a)(1), infrastructure SIP submissions are not due within three years of the effective date, but within three years of the promulgation of a new or revised NAAQS. The EPA has traditionally held that “promulgation” means the signature and widespread dissemination of a final rulemaking in the context of the NAAQS. Per this standard practice, because the EPA promulgated (signed and made available on the EPA's website) the reconsideration of the PM <sub>2.5</sub> NAAQS on February 7, 2024, infrastructure SIP submissions are due by no later than February 7, 2027.
To be consistent with the CAA and the proposed rule, the EPA is correcting the last two sentences of the first paragraph of *B. Section 110(a)(1) and (2) Infrastructure SIP Requirements* in the final rule preamble.
**Correction**
In FR Doc. 2024-02637, at 89 FR 16202 in the *Federal Register* of March 6, 2024, on page 16367, in the second column, the last two sentences of the first paragraph of *B. Section 110(a)(1) and (2) Infrastructure SIP Requirements* are corrected to read as follows:
“Under CAA section 110(a)(1), all States are required to make these infrastructure SIP submissions within three years after the promulgation date of a new or revised primary standard. While the CAA authorizes the EPA to set a shorter time for States to make these SIP submissions, the EPA is requiring submission of infrastructure SIPs within three years of the promulgation date of this revised primary annual PM <sub>2.5</sub> NAAQS.”
**Correcting Amendments to 40 CFR Parts 50 and 58**
The EPA is also making several corrections to inadvertent errors in the PM <sub>2.5</sub> monitoring regulatory text as described below.
After publication, it was realized that the EPA did not add promulgated § 50.20 to the 40 CFR 50.3 list of sections containing PM <sub>2.5</sub> standards, which was inconsistent with past NAAQS regulations. Therefore, in 40 CFR 50.3, the EPA is adding § 50.20 to its list of sections containing PM <sub>2.5</sub> standards to be consistent with all existing PM <sub>2.5</sub> standards and methods.
The EPA proposed to adjust the minimum value required by appendix A, section 3.2.4, to be considered valid sample pairs for the PM <sub>2.5</sub> Performance Evaluation Program (PEP) from 3 µg/m <sup>3</sup> to 2 µg/m <sup>3</sup> (88 FR 5665, January 27, 2023). In section 3.2.4 of appendices A and B to part 58, the EPA finalized 2 µg/m <sup>3</sup> for the quality assurance program that assesses PM <sub>2.5</sub> network bias. However, in the final rule, section 4(c)(5) in appendix A and section 4(b)(5) and (c) in appendix B, which provides the PM <sub>2.5</sub> limit for use in bias assessments, was not updated to reflect the finalized 2 µg/m <sup>3</sup> for PM <sub>2.5</sub> and instead states the previous 3 µg/m <sup>3</sup> , which is inconsistent with section 3.2.4 in the two appendices. Within the PM NAAQS, the same criteria should be used for PM <sub>2.5</sub> for consistency. Therefore, the EPA is correcting section 4(c)(5) of appendix A and section 4(b)(5) and (c) of appendix B to part 58 to be consistent with section 3.2.4 of appendices A and B to part 58.
In the PM NAAQS Reconsideration proposed rule (88 FR 5665, January 27, 2023), the EPA proposed to revise equation 6 in section 4.2.1 of appendices A and B to part 58. The proposed equation 6 had a plus sign in the denominator. However, in the final rule, the EPA inadvertently published equation 6 with a minus sign in the denominator instead of a plus sign. Therefore, the EPA is correcting the denominator in equation 6 of section 4.2.1 in appendices A and B by changing the minus sign to a plus sign, which is consistent with what was proposed.
In section 2.2.2 in appendix C to part 58, the EPA is correcting a typo by replacing “multijusinstincional” with “multijurisdictional.”
Appendix C to part 58 of the final rule's regulatory text had an incorrect instruction to remove and reserve sections 2.4 and 2.4.1 and remove sections 2.4.1. through 2.4.1.7. The EPA's intention was to reserve all of section 2.4, which includes sections 2.4.1 through 2.4.6 and their subsections, and to remove sections 2.4.1.1 through 2.4.1.7. However, due to the EPA's confusing instructions, only sections 2.4 and 2.4.1 were reserved. To correct this issue, the EPA is reserving sections 2.4.2 through 2.4.6 of appendix C to part 58, including their subsections, so that all of section 2.4 is reserved as intended.
Also, when the EPA reserved section 2.4 in appendix C to part 58, the EPA revoked language associated with Approved Regional Methods (ARMs). However, after publication, several mentions of the revoked term “ARM” and references to the reserved section 2.4 were left in appendices A and C to part 58. To correct this issue, the EPA is removing the revoked term “ARM” and references to the reserved section 2.4 from section 3.2.4.2 in appendix A to part 58 and sections 2.7.1, 2.8.4, 2.7.6, 2.8.1, 2.8.5, and 3.1 in appendix C to part 58.
Lastly, after publication of the final rule, the EPA became aware that, in the finalized tables E-3 and E-6 of appendix E to part 58, several merged cells were inadvertently unmerged, resulting in misalignment of the data presented for each pollutant-specific row in the tables. The EPA is correcting this error by providing reformatted tables E-3 and E-6 so that each pollutant-specific row and the information in each column is displayed correctly.
**II. Rulemaking Procedures**
Section 553(b)(B) of the Administrative Procedure Act (APA), 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. The EPA has determined that there is good cause for making this correction final without prior proposal. In this instance, notice and opportunity for comment is unnecessary because this action implements minor, non-substantive typographical and technical corrections that correct preamble language in one instance, conform the regulatory text to the rule's preamble, and remedy formatting errors.
Moreover, EPA has determined that there is good cause for making this final rule effective less than 30 days after publication in the *Federal Register* . Section 553(d)(3) of the APA, 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), provides that final rules shall not become effective until 30 days after publication in the *Federal Register* “except . . . as otherwise provided by the agency for good cause found and published with the rule.” “In determining whether good cause exists, an agency should `balance the necessity for immediate implementation against principles of fundamental fairness which require that all affected persons be afforded a reasonable amount of time to prepare for the effective date of its ruling.” *Omnipoint Corp.* v. *Fed. Commc'n Comm'n,* 78 F.3d 620, 630 (D.C. Cir. 1996) (quoting *United States* v. *Gavrilovic,* 551 F.2d 1099, 1105 (8th Cir. 1977)). This action adjusts a deadline that will not apply for at least two years (from May 6, 2027, to February 7, 2027) and makes only minor technical and typographical corrections to the monitoring provisions that are not connected to immediate regulatory obligations.
For these reasons, the Agency finds that good cause exists under APA section 553(d)(3) to make this rule effective on December 19, 2024.
**III. Statutory and Executive Orders Reviews**
Additional information about these statutes and Executive orders can be found at *https://www.epa.gov/laws-regulations/laws-and-executive-orders.*
**A. Executive Order 12866: Regulatory Planning and Review and Executive Order 14094: Modernizing Regulatory Review**
This action is not a significant regulatory action as defined by Executive Order 12866, as amended by Executive Order 14094 and was, therefore, not subject to a requirement for Executive Order 12866 review.
**B. Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA)**
This action does not impose any new information collection burden under the PRA. The EPA is clarifying the due date for infrastructure SIP submissions for the 2024 PM NAAQS and correcting inadvertent errors in the PM <sub>2.5</sub> monitoring regulatory text. However, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has previously approved the information collection activities contained in the existing regulations and has assigned OMB control number 2060-0084.
**C. Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA)**
I certify that this action will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the RFA. This action will not impose any requirements on small entities. Rather, this action corrects inadvertent errors in the final rule's preamble and regulatory text.
**D. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (UMRA)**
This action does not contain an unfunded mandate of $100 million or more as described in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (UMRA), 2 U.S.C. 1531-1538, and does not significantly or uniquely affect small governments. This action corrects inadvertent errors in the final rule's preamble and regulatory text.
**E. Executive Order 13132: Federalism**
This action does not have federalism implications. It will not have substantial direct effects on the states, on the relationship between the National Government and the states, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities among the various levels of government.
**F. Executive Order 13175: Consultation and Coordination With Indian Tribal Governments**
This action does not have Tribal implications, as specified in Executive Order 13175. It does not have a substantial direct effect on one or more Indian Tribes as Tribes are not obligated to adopt or implement any NAAQS. In addition, Tribes are not obligated to conduct ambient monitoring for PM or to adopt the ambient monitoring requirements of 40 CFR part 58. Thus, Executive Order 13175 does not apply to this action.
**G. Executive Order 13045: Protection of Children From Environmental Health Risks and Safety Risks**
The EPA interprets Executive Order 13045 as applying only to those regulatory actions that concern environmental health or safety risks that the EPA has reason to believe may disproportionately affect children, per the definition of “covered regulatory action” in section 2-202 of the Executive order. This action is not subject to Executive Order 13045 because it does not concern an environmental health risk or safety risk. This action corrects inadvertent errors in the final rule's preamble and regulatory text.
**H. Executive Order 13211: Actions Concerning Regulations That Significantly Affect Energy Supply, Distribution or Use**
This action is not subject to Executive Order 13211, because it is not a significant regulatory action under Executive Order 12866.
**I. National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act (NTTAA)**
The final rule involved environmental monitoring or measurement. The PM NAAQS final rule maintained the use of the existing indicators for fine (PM <sub>2.5</sub> ) and coarse (PM <sub>10</sub> ) particles. The indicator for fine particles is measured using the Reference Method for the Determination of Fine Particulate Matter as PM <sub>2.5</sub> in the Atmosphere (appendix L to 40 CFR part 50), which is known as the PM <sub>2.5</sub> FRM, and the indicator for coarse particles is measured using the Reference Method for the Determination of Particulate Matter as PM <sub>10</sub> in the Atmosphere (appendix J to 40 CFR part 50), which is known as the PM <sub>10</sub> FRM. To the extent feasible, the EPA employs a Performance-Based Measurement System (PBMS), which does not require the use of specific, prescribed analytic methods. The PBMS is defined as a set of processes wherein the data quality needs, mandates or limitations of a program or project are specified and serve as criteria for selecting appropriate methods to meet those needs in a cost-effective manner. It is intended to be more flexible and cost effective for the regulated community; it is also intended to encourage innovation in analytical technology and improved data quality. This action corrects inadvertent errors in the monitoring regulatory text for parts 50 and 58.
**J. Executive Order 12898: Federal Actions To Address Environmental Justice in Minority Populations and Low-Income Populations**
The EPA believes that this correction does not concern human health or environmental conditions and, therefore, cannot be evaluated with respect to potentially disproportionate and adverse effects on people of color, low-income populations and/or indigenous peoples. This action corrects inadvertent errors in the final rule's preamble and regulatory text.
Although this action does not concern human health or environmental conditions, the EPA identified and addressed environmental justice concerns in the underlying final rule in sections II.A.2, II.B.3.a, II.B.3.c, II.B.2, and II.B.4. of the final rule preamble and also in the 2019 Integrated Science Assessment, Supplement to the 2019 Integrated Science Assessment, and 2022 Policy Assessment.
**K. Congressional Review Act (CRA)**
This action is subject to the CRA, and the EPA will submit a rule report to each House of the Congress and to the Comptroller General of the United States. The CRA allows the issuing agency to make a rule effective sooner than otherwise provided by the CRA if the agency makes a good cause finding that notice and comment rulemaking procedures are impracticable, unnecessary or contrary to the public interest (5 U.S.C. 808(2)). The EPA has made a good cause finding for this rule as discussed in the *SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION* section. The EPA has determined that there is good cause for making this correction final without prior proposal. In this instance, notice and opportunity for comment is unnecessary because this action implements minor, non-substantive typographical and technical corrections that conform the regulatory text to the rule's preamble and remedy formatting errors.

The revisions read as follows:
**Appendix C to Part 58—Ambient Air Quality Monitoring Methodology**
2.2.2 A request to update a designated methods calibration may be initiated by the instrument manufacturer of record or the EPA Administrator. State, local, Tribal, and multijurisdictional organizations of these entities may work with an instrument manufacture to update a designated method calibration.
2.7.1 Requests for approval under section 2.2, 2.6.2, or 2.8 of this appendix must be submitted to: Director, Center for Environmental Measurement and Modeling, Reference and Equivalent Methods Designation Program (MD-D205-03), U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, P.O. Box 12055, Research Triangle Park, North Carolina 27711.
2.7.4 To the extent that such incorporation by reference provides data or information required by this section (2.7) or by section 2.5 or 2.6 of this appendix, independent data or duplicative information need not be submitted.
2.7.6 If the Administrator determines, on the basis of any available information, that any of the determinations or statements on which approval of a request under this section was based are invalid or no longer valid, or that the requirements of section 2.5 or 2.6, as applicable, have not been met, he/she may withdraw the approval after affording the person who obtained the approval an opportunity to submit information and arguments opposing such action.
2.8.1 Except as otherwise provided in this section, no reference method or equivalent method may be used in a SLAMS network if it has been modified in a manner that could significantly alter the performance characteristics of the method without prior approval by the Administrator. For purposes of this section, “alternative method” means an analyzer, the use of which has been approved under section 2.5 or 2.6 of this appendix or some combination thereof.
2.8.5 A temporary modification that could alter the performance characteristics of a reference or equivalent may be made without prior approval under this section if the method is not functioning or is malfunctioning, provided that parts necessary for repair in accordance with the applicable operation manual cannot be obtained within 45 days. Unless such temporary modification is later approved under section 2.8.4 of this appendix, the temporarily modified method shall be repaired in accordance with the applicable operation manual as quickly as practicable but in no event later than 4 months after the temporary modification was made, unless an extension of time is granted by the Administrator. Unless and until the temporary modification is approved, air quality data obtained with the method as temporarily modified must be clearly identified as such when submitted in accordance with § 58.16 and must be accompanied by a report containing the information specified in section 2.8.3 of this appendix. A request that the Administrator approve a temporary modification may be submitted in accordance with sections 2.8.1 through 2.8.4 of this appendix. In such cases, the request will be considered as if a request for prior approval had been made.
3.1 Methods employed in NCore multipollutant sites used to measure SO <sub>2</sub> , CO, NO <sub>2</sub> , O <sub>3</sub> , PM <sub>2.5</sub> , or PM <sub>10-2.5</sub> must be reference or equivalent methods as defined in § 50.1 of this chapter for any monitors intended for comparison with applicable NAAQS.
