    Refining the results of a previous paper, the author shows the following theorem: A locally linear orientation preserving action of \(\mathbb Z_p \times \mathbb Z_p\) (where \(p\) is a prime) on \(S^4\) is locally concordant to a linear action if and only if a certain Kervaire-Arf invariant \(c \in \mathbb Z_2\) vanishes. Thus, after normalization of rotation numbers there are at most two concordance classes of \(\mathbb Z_p \times \mathbb Z_p\) actions on \(S^4\).
