[25 PA. CODE CH. 16]

Corrective Amendment to § 16.61

[35 Pa.B. 1890]

   The Department of Environmental Protection has discovered a discrepancy between the agency text of 25 Pa. Code § 16.61 (relating to special provisions for the Great Lakes System), as deposited with the Legislative Reference Bureau and published at 27 Pa.B. 6817, 6823 (December 27, 1997) and the official text as published in the Pennsylvania Code Reporter (Master Transmittal Sheet No. 280 (March 1998), and as currently appearing in the Pennsylvania Code. When the amendment made by the Department at 27 Pa.B. 6817, 6823 was codified, the entry for pentachlorophenol was not accurately reflected in the text.

   Therefore, under 45 Pa.C.S. § 901: The Department of Environmental Protection has deposited with the Legislative Reference Bureau a corrective amendment to 25 Pa. Code § 16.61. The corrective amendment to 25 Pa. Code § 16.61 is effective as of March 7, 1998, the date the defective official text was announced in the Pennsylvania Bulletin.

   The correct version of 25 Pa. Code § 16.61 appears in Annex A, with ellipses referring to the existing text of the statement of policy.
