Standards of Performance for New, Reconstructed, and Modified Sources and Emissions Guidelines for Existing Sources: Oil and Natural Gas Sector Climate Review: Correction

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is taking interim final action on technical corrections to three regulations recently finalized within "Standards of Performance for New, Reconstructed, and Modified Sources and Emissions Guidelines for Existing Sources: Oil and Natural Gas Sector Climate Review," (hereafter "final rule"), published 8 March 2024 (notified as G/TBT/N/USA/1802/Add.3). Following publication of the final rule, the EPA identified, through its own internal reassessment of the regulatory text, as well as through communications with stakeholders and the Office of Federal Register, erroneous cross-references and typographical errors within the regulatory text. Through those same processes, the EPA also identified the need for some minor wording changes to clarify erroneous language (or, in some cases, erroneous omissions) in the regulatory text and/or to ensure that the regulatory text aligns with the descriptions of the relevant provisions in the final rule preamble and other parts of the regulation(s). The corrections being made in this action are minor and non-substantive in nature and are being made to address inadvertent errors in the final rule. The EPA is requesting comments on all aspects of this interim final rule.

This rule is effective on 1 August 2024.
