40 CFR Part 52
[NC-77-1-7728b & NC-74-1-7727b; FRL-5325-4]
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 March 3, 1995, 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 include the adoption of three source-specific
volatile organic compound rules; 15A NCAC 2D .0955, Thread Bonding
Manufacturing, .0956, Glass Christmas Ornament Manufacturing, and .0957
Commercial Bakeries.
On May 24, 1995, North Carolina submitted additional revisions to
their SIP. These revisions delete textile coating, Christmas ornament
manufacturing, and bakeries from the list of sources that must follow
interim standards, define di-acetone alcohol as a non-photochemically
reactive solvent, and place statutory requirements for adoption by
reference for referenced ASTM methods into a single rule rather than
each individual rule that references ASTM methods. Revisions to 15A
NCAC 2D .0902 Applicability; .0907 Compliance Schedules For Sources In
Nonattainment Areas; .0910 Alternative Compliance Schedules; .0911
Exception From Compliance Schedules; .0952 Petition For Alternative
Controls; .0954 Stage II Vapor Recovery; 1401-.1415; Reasonably
Available Control Technology for Sources of Nitrogen Oxides (Nox RACT);
.1501-.1504 Transportation Conformity; and .1601-.1603; General
Conformity are being addressed in separate Federal Register Notices.
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 this proposed 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receives adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and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
