Significant New Uses of Certain Chemical Substances; Correction

EPA issued a document (FR Doc. 98-1074) in the Federal Register of January 22, 1998 (63 FR 3394) (FRL-5720-3), which inadvertently assigned notification requirements for a substance already subject to a SNUR and several notification requirements under Sec. 721.63 for one SNUR. This correction removes the notification requirements entirely for Sec. 721.5730 and changes the notification requirements under Sec. 721.63 for Sec. 721.9662(a)(2)(i).

On page 3432, in the first column, amendatory instruction 69. and Sec. 721.5730 should be removed. On page 3439, in the first column, in Sec. 721.9662(a)(2)(i), in the third line, ``(a)(1), (a)(2)(i), (a)(4), (a)(5)(xii), (a)(5)(xiii), (a)(5)(xiv), and (a)(6)(v).'' should read ``(a)(1) and (a)(2)(i).''

I. Regulatory Assessment Requirements

This final rule does not impose any requirements. It only implements a correction to the Code of Federal Regulations. As such, this action does not require review by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) under Executive Order 12866, entitled ``Regulatory Planning and Review'' (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993), the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA), 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq., or Executive Order 13045, entitled ``Protection of Children from Environmental Health Risks and Safety Risks'' (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997). For the same reason, it does not require any action under Title II of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (UMRA) (Pub. L. 104-4), Executive Order 12875, entitled ``Enhancing the Intergovernmental Partnership'' (58 FR 58093, October 28, 1993), or Executive Order 12898, entitled ``Federal Actions to Address Environmental Justice in Minority Populations and Low-Income Populations'' (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994). In addition, since this type of

action does not require any proposal, no action is needed under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.).

II. Submission to Congress and Comptroller General

The Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801 et seq., as added by the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996, generally provides that before a rule may take effect, the agency promulgating the rule must submit a rule report, which includes a copy of the rule, to each House of the Congress and to the Comptroller General of the United States. 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 rule is not a ``major rule'' as defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2).
