## Abstract

Under the Clean Air Act (CAA), EPA promulgated the national emission standards for hazardous air pollutants (NESHAP) for chemical recovery combustion sources at kraft, soda, sulfite, and stand-alone semichemical pulp mills on January 12, 2001. The promulgated rule requires new and existing major sources to control emissions of hazardous air pollutants (HAP) to the level reflecting application of the maximum achievable control technology. The technical corrections in this action will not change the standards established by the rule or the level of health protection it provides. Section 553 of the Administrative Procedure Act, 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B), provides that, when an agency for good cause finds that notice and public procedure are impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to the public interest, the agency may issue a rule without providing notice and an opportunity for public comment. We have determined that there is good cause for making today's rule final without prior proposal and opportunity for comment because the changes to the rule are minor technical corrections consisting largely of correcting typographical errors and other misprints and correcting minor errors in the rule's effective dates, are noncontroversial, and do not substantively change the requirements of the rule. In addition, there has already been full opportunity to comment on all of the provisions in this Notice. Thus, notice and public procedure are unnecessary. We find that this constitutes good cause under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B) (see also the final sentence of section 307(d)(1) of the Clean Air Act, 42 U.S.C. section 7607(d)(1), indicating that the good cause provisions of the Administrative Procedure Act continue to apply to this type of rulemaking under the Clean Air Act). Section 553(d)(3) allows an agency, upon a finding of good cause, to make a rule effective immediately. Because today's changes do not substantively change the requirements of the rule, we find good cause to make these techn
