Section A.2.3 says:

   The object identifier id-RSASSA-PSS identifies the RSASSA-PSS
   encryption scheme.

It should say:

   The object identifier id-RSASSA-PSS identifies the RSASSA-PSS
   signature scheme.

Notes:

RSASSA-PSS is a signature scheme, it has no encrypt/decrypt operations.
This errata also applies to RFC 3447 (Section A.2.3)
