SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Does this action apply to me?

The Agency included in the July 14, 2023, final rule a list of those who may be potentially affected by this action.

II. What does this correction do?

EPA issued a final rule in the Federal Register on July 14, 2023 (88 FR 45089) (FRL-2425.1-03-OCSPP) which added a diisononyl phthalates (DINP) category to the list of toxic chemicals subject to the reporting requirements under the EPCRA and the PPA. In the final rule's instructions to amend the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), EPA intended to add the DINP category alphabetically to the list of TRI chemical categories at 40 CFR 372.65(c). However, the list of TRI chemical categories in the CFR at the time had been incorporated as a static image of a table, which introduced formatting challenges with regard to updating 40 CFR 372.65(c) per the amendatory instructions in the DINP category rule because the Agency did not provide a new static image of the table. This document corrects the formatting in Table 3 to paragraph (c) of 40 CFR 372.65(c) by removing the static image of the table and replacing it with a table consisting of text and images of chemicals structures, as applicable.

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 notice and public ( printed page 35749) procedure are unnecessary because EPA provided a full opportunity for notice and comment before issuing the final rule that published in the Federal Register on July 14, 2023, and this correction merely corrects the amendatory instructions to ensure that the rule is correctly codified in the CFR. 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 review requirements apply to this action?

No. For a detailed discussion concerning the statutory and executive order review requirements refer to Unit VI. of the final rule issued on July 14, 2023.

V. Congressional Review Act (CRA)

Pursuant to the CRA (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).

Therefore, for the reasons set forth in the preamble, EPA is amending 40 CFR part 372 as follows:
