SUMMARY: This document corrects the section number in subpart T of part 
40 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) citation published in the 
Federal Register (FR) of November 19, 1997, regarding final disapproval 
of the Louisiana I/M SIP. Section 52.994 was inadvertently chosen for

Approvals. This document changes the section number for Disapprovals to 
52.996.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    The EPA published document 97-30376 in the November 19, 1997, 
Federal Register (FR), finalizing disapproval of the I/M program in the 
Baton Rouge ozone nonattainment area. See 62 FR 61633 for the 
background and rulemaking for that action.
    In amending part 52 of 40 CFR, a section was added in subpart T--
Louisiana, for Disapprovals. Inadvertently, the section number chosen 
was already in use for Conditional Approvals. The purpose of this 
action is to change the section number for Disapprovals from 52.994 to 
52.996.

II. Administrative Requirements

    Under Executive Order 12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993), this 
action is not a ``significant regulatory action'' and is, therefore, 
not subject to review by the Office of Management and Budget. In 
addition, this action does not impose any enforceable duty or contain 
any unfunded mandates as described in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act 
of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-4), or require prior consultation with State 
officials as specified by Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, February 
16, 1994).

[[Page 4397]]

    Because this action is not subject to notice-and-comment 
requirements under the Administrative Procedure Act or any other 
statute, it is not subject to the provisions of the Regulatory 
Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.) Under 5 U.S.C. 801(a)(1)(A) as 
added by the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 
1996, EPA submitted 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 General Accounting Office prior to 
publication of this rule in today's Federal Register. This rule is not 
a ``major rule'' as defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2).
