Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; State of

Missouri; Correction

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Final notification of failure to attain; correction.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This document corrects an error in the EPA's August 15, 1997,

determination of the Herculaneum, Missouri, nonattainment area's

failure to attain the National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS) for

lead.

DATES: This action is effective on December 8, 1997.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Aaron J. Worstell at (913) 551-7787.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

The EPA published a document in the August 15, 1997, Federal

Register (62 FR 43647) of the determination that the Doe Run-

Herculaneum nonattainment area had failed to attain the National

Ambient Air Quality Standard for lead (Pb) by June 30, 1995, as

required under the provisions of the Clean Air Act and the Missouri

State Implementation Plan. In section I of the document, the table

entitled ``Lead Ambient Air Quality Data--Vicinity Of The Doe Run

Primary Smelter'' incorrectly denotes the Herculaneum monitor as the

Asarco monitor. The table is corrected to read as follows:

Lead Ambient Air Quality Data--Vicinity of the DOE Run Primary Smelter

Calendar Quarterly Values

[Micrograms of lead per cubic meter of air (g/m\3\)]

Notes:

\1\ (S) = State monitor, (H) = Herculaneum monitor.

\2\ Italicized Quarterly Air Quality Values exceed the National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS) for lead; the NAAQS for lead is 1.5 g/m\3\

and is the arithmetic mean of a series of daily (24-hour) values from hi-vol monitors measuring particulate matter, within a 3-month (calendar

quarter) period.

This minor correction does not alter the EPA's failure to attain

determination, nor does it alter the effective date of September 15,

1997, as specified in the original document.

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 mandate as described in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act

of 1995 (P. L. 104-4), or require prior consultation with state

officials as specified by Executive Order 12875 (58 FR 58093, October

28, 1993), or involve special consideration of environmental justice

related issues as required by Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629,

February 16, 1994).

Because this action is not subject to notice-and-comment

requirements under the Administrative Procedures 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, the 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 is not a ``major rule'' as defined by 5 U.S.C.

804(2).

Authority: 42 U.S.C. 7401--7671q.

Dated: October 29, 1997.

William Rice,

Acting Regional Administrator, Region 7.
