    [31 Pa.B. 7069]

       Technical guidance documents are on the Department of Environmental Protection's (DEP) website (www. dep.state.pa.us) at the Public Participation Center page. The ''December 2001 Inventory'' heading is the Governor's list of nonregulatory guidance documents. The ''Final Documents'' heading is the link to a menu of the various DEP bureaus and from there to each bureau's final technical guidance documents. The ''Draft Technical Guidance'' heading is the link to DEP's draft technical guidance documents.

       The DEP will continue to revise its nonregulatory documents, as necessary, throughout 2001.

    Correction to Typographical Error

       The DEP would like to clarify a notice, previously published in the December 15, 2001 Pennsylvania Bulletin. Specifically, the notice stated that the open comment period (for document # 275-2101-007) would end on January 15, 2001. The correct date is January 15, 2002, for the open comment period to end. The corrected version of this notice follows.
