SUMMARY: This document corrects an error in the docket number of a
final rule pertaining to a determination that the Greater Connecticut
serious one-hour ozone nonattainment area did not meet the applicable
deadline of November 15, 2007, for attaining the one-hour National
Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS) for ozone. In addition, that same
final rule determined that the Greater Connecticut serious one-hour
ozone nonattainment area is currently attaining the now revoked one-
hour NAAQS for ozone. The correct docket number for this action is EPA-
R01-OAR-2011-0711.
DATES: This correction is effective on April 18, 2012.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On, March 16, 2012 (77 FR 15607), EPA
published a final rulemaking notice announcing that the Greater
Connecticut one-hour ozone nonattainment area did not meet its
applicable one-hour ozone attainment date of November 15, 2007, based
on 2005-2007 quality-assured ozone monitoring data. Separate from and
independent of the first determination, EPA also determined that the
Greater Connecticut one-hour ozone nonattainment area is currently
attaining the one-hour ozone standard, based on the most recent three
years (2008-2010) of complete, quality-assured ozone monitoring data at
all monitoring sites in the area. In the March 16, 2012 final
rulemaking, EPA inadvertently stated an incorrect docket number. The
correct docket number for this action is EPA-R01-OAR-2011-0711. The
Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPR) for this action (76 FR 72377;
November 23, 2011) included the correct docket number. Thus, the public
had appropriate opportunity to comment on the NPR.
