Summary
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is making two corrections to the final action that appeared in the Federal Register on May 16, 2024. The first correction allows the Office of Federal Register editors to codify and add paragraphs inadvertently removed from that final action in a recent correction published in the Federal Register on July 5, 2024. This correction does not alter or change the content or text of any regulatory provision in that final action. The second correction moves the placement of 3 explanatory notes in the regulatory text; this correction does not change the content of the explanatory notes.

Supplementary Information
This is the second set of corrections made to the published final action 89 FR 42932 (May 16, 2024) ("Final Action"). The first set of corrections was published in the Federal Register 89 FR 55522 (July 5, 2024). The EPA is making 2 corrections in this action. First, the EPA is correcting 40 CFR 60.482-1a, which was inadvertently changed in the July 5, 2024, notice. In that first correction notice, the EPA revised instruction 12 to facilitate publication of 40 CFR 60.482-1a, as amended in the May 16, 2024, Final Action, in the Code of Federal Regulation. However, by stating that it was "revising paragraph (e)" instead of "revising paragraph (e) introductory text," the revised instruction 12 erroneously removed paragraphs (e)(1) through (3) of 40 CFR 60.482-1a. We are correcting this error and reinstating 40 CFR 60.482-1a(e)(1) through (3). Second, the EPA is making a correction to the Final Action by moving the placement of the "Note" within 40 CFR 60.610, 60.660, and 60.700 to the end of each regulatory section in order to clarify that the Note applies to the entire section. These regulatory notes, which were previously promulgated, appeared at the end of the regulatory sections and thereby applied to the entire regulatory sections. However, in adding a new paragraph (e) in each of these 3 sections, the 2024 Final Action inadvertently placed the new paragraph (e) after the explanatory note in each of these sections. We are correcting this error by moving the explanatory note back to the end of each of these 3 sections, as they appeared prior to the 2024 Final Action. This correction does not change the content or text of the of the explanatory notes.
