Errors in the tables for the New York 1997 Annual PM 2.5 NAAQS and the New York 2006 24-hour PM 2.5 NAAQS are identified and corrected in this action.

Kenneth Fradkin ( Fradkin.kenneth@epa.gov ), Air Programs Branch, 290 Broadway, 25th Floor, New York, New York 10007-1866, (212) 637-3702.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
EPA published a final rule document on June 2, 2014 (79 FR 31566) updating 40 CFR part 81, "Designation of Areas for Air Quality Planning Purposes" for the 1997 and 2006 PM 2.5 NAAQS nonattainment areas. This final rule included revisions to 40 CFR 81.333 to remove the tables titled "New York-PM 2.5 (Annual NAAQS)" and "New York-PM 2.5 (24-hour NAAQS)" and to add three tables titled "New York-1997 Annual PM 2.5 NAAQS (Primary and Secondary)" and "New York-1997 24-hour PM 2.5 NAAQS (Primary and Secondary)" and "New York-2006 24-hour PM 2.5 NAAQS (Primary and Secondary)". The entries for the New York-N. New Jersey-Long Island, NY-NJ-CT designated area in the New York-1997 Annual PM 2.5 NAAQS table, and the New York-2006 24-hour PM 2.5 NAAQS table erroneously indicated that the areas were designated as nonattainment when, in fact, the areas had been redesignated to attainment status on April 18, 2014. 79 FR 21857. The entries for the New York-N. New Jersey-Long Island, NY-NJ-CT, designated area for Bronx County, Kings County, Nassau County, New York County, Orange County, Queens County, Richmond County, Rockland County, Suffolk County, and Westchester County should be listed with a designation date "4/18/14" and designation type of "Attainment." The classification date and type should be blank.
