40 CFR Part 52
[NC-78-1-7236b; NC-80-2-9631b; FRL-5606-2]
Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans North Carolina:
Approval of Revisions to State of North Carolina's State Implementation
Plan (SIP)
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The EPA proposes to approve the State Implementation Plan
(SIP) revision submitted by the State of North Carolina and the Forsyth
County Department of Environmental Affairs for the purpose of allowing
the State and the County to utilize exclusionary rules for the purpose
of limiting potential to emit air pollutants for certain source
categories to less than the title V permitting major source thresholds.
In the final rules section of this Federal Register, 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comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public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. 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 October 21, 1996.
ADDRESSES: Written comments should be addressed to Scott Miller of the
EPA Regional office listed below.
