Correction

    This document corrects Sec.  50.1, paragraph (j) to remove the 
reference to 40 CFR 50.13 and replace it with a reference to 40 CFR 
50.14. In the proposed rule for ``The Treatment of Data Influenced by

12608, column two, make the following correction under the section 
entitled ``Part 50--National Primary And Secondary Ambient Air quality 
Standards.'' Under Sec.  50.1 entitled ``Definitions'', revise 
paragraph (j) to read as follows:

PART 50--NATIONAL PRIMARY AND SECONDARY AMBIENT AIR QUALITY STANDARDS

    1. The authority citation for part 50 continues to read as follows:

    Authority: 42 U.S.C. 7401, et seq.

    2. Revise paragraph (j) to read as follows:

Sec.  50.1  Definitions.

* * * * *
    (j) Exceptional event means an event that affects air quality; is 
not reasonably controllable or preventable; is a natural event or an 
event caused by human activity that is unlikely to recur at a 
particular location; and is determined by the Administrator in 
accordance with 40 CFR 50.14 to be an exceptional event; it does not 
include stagnation of air masses or meteorological inversions; a 
meteorological event involving high temperatures or lack of 
precipitation; or air pollution relating to source noncompliance.
