ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 81
[EPA-R05-OAR-2016-0277; FRL-9960-91-Region 5]
Reclassification of the Sheboygan, Wisconsin Area To Moderate
Nonattainment for the 2008 Ozone National Ambient Air Quality
Standards; Correction
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Final rule; correction.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) published a final
rule in the Federal Register on December 19, 2016, revising its
regulations entitled ``Designation of Areas for Air Quality Planning
Purposes'' for the 2008 ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standards
(NAAQS). An error in the table for the Wisconsin 2008 8-Hour Ozone
NAAQS is identified and corrected in this action.
DATES: This final rule is effective on April 6, 2017.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Kathleen D'Agostino, Environmental
Scientist, Attainment Planning and Maintenance Section, Air Programs
Branch (AR-18J), Environmental Protection Agency, Region 5, 77 West

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: EPA published a final rule document on
December 19, 2016, (81 FR 91841) updating 40 CFR part 81, ``Designation
of Areas for Air Quality Planning Purposes'' for the 2008 8-Hour Ozone
NAAQS. This final rule included a revision to 40 CFR 81.350
reclassifying the Sheboygan, Wisconsin area (Sheboygan County) as
``moderate'' nonattainment for the 2008 ozone NAAQS. The entry for the
Sheboygan County designated area in the Wisconsin-2008 8-Hour Ozone
NAAQS (Primary and secondary) table erroneously indicated that the
effective date of the classification is January 18, 2017 when, in fact,
the effective date should have been December 19, 2016. 81 FR 91846.
Therefore, the entry for the Sheboygan County area is being corrected
to reflect the correct classification date.
