ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 52
[NC-70-6962b; FRL-5296-1]
Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; North
Carolina: Approval of Revisions to the North Carolina State
Implementation Plan
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: On August 15, 1994, the State of North Carolina, through the
North Carolina Department of Environment, Health and Natural Resources,
submitted revisions to the North Carolina State Implementation Plan
(SIP). These revisions are the adoption of new air quality rules,
amendments to existing air quality rules and repeals of existing air
quality rules that were the subject of public hearings held on March 21
and 30, 1994. In the final rules section of this Federal Register, the
EPA is approving the State's SIP revision as a direct final rule
without prior proposal because the EPA views this as a noncontroversial
revision amendment and anticipates no adverse comments. A detailed
rationale for the approval is set forth in the direct final rule. If no
adverse comments are received in response to that direct final rule, no
further activity is contemplated in relation to this proposed rule. If
EPA receives adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn
and all public comments received will be addressed in a subsequent
final rule based on this proposed rule. The EPA will not institute a
second comment period on this document. Any parties interested in
commenting on this document should do so at this time.
DATES: To be considered, comments must be received by March 4, 1996.
ADDRESSES: Written comments on this action should be addressed to Mr.
Randy Terry at the EPA Regional Office listed below.
Copies of the documents relative to this action are available for
