SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Does this action apply to me?

    The Agency included in the March 2, 2016 final rule a list of those 
who may be potentially affected by this action.

II. What does this technical correction do?

    EPA issued a final rule in the Federal Register of March 2, 2016 
(81 FR 10776) (FRL-9942-48) that increases the poly(oxyethylene) 
content from 16-30 moles to 16-60 moles. EPA

[[Page 37521]]

inadvertently mistyped the final ratio of poly(oxyethylene) ratio as 
16-30 moles instead of 16-60 moles.
    The preamble for FR Doc. 2016-04599 published in the Federal 
Register issue of Wednesday, March 2, 2016 (81 FR 10776) (FRL-9942-48) 
is corrected as follows:
    1. On page 10776, second column, under the heading Summary, 
paragraph one, line 9 and line 23, correct 16-30 to read 16-60.
    2. On page 10777, first column, paragraph 6, line 17 is corrected 
to read: 16-60 moles.
    3. On page 10778, second column, paragraph two, line 7 is corrected 
to read: 16-60 moles.

III. Why is this correction issued as a final rule?

    Section 553 of the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) (5 U.S.C. 
553(b)(3)(B)) provides that, when an agency for good cause finds that 
notice and public procedure are impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary 
to the public interest, the agency may issue a final 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 it does not affect or change the Agency's original regulatory 
decision nor does it adversely affect human or environmental health. 
EPA finds that this constitutes good cause under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(3)(B).

IV. Do any of the statutory and executive order reviews apply to this 
action?

    No. For a detailed discussion concerning the statutory and 
executive order review, refer to Unit X of the March 2, 2016 final 
rule.

V. Congressional Review Act

    Pursuant to the Congressional Review Act (5 U.S.C. 801 et seq.), 
EPA will submit a report containing this rule and other required 
information to the U.S. Senate, the U.S. House of Representatives, and 
the Comptroller General of the United States prior to publication of 
the rule in the Federal Register. This action is not a ``major rule'' 
as defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2).
