[NC89-200240(b); FRL-7395-4]

 
Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans North Carolina: 
Approval of Miscellaneous Revisions to Regulations Within the North 
Carolina State Implementation Plan

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The EPA is proposing to approve the State Implementation Plan 
(SIP) revision submitted by the North Carolina Department of 
Environment and Natural Resources, for the purpose of amending 
regulations relating to ozone, particulate matter, and other 
miscellaneous rules within, the Air Pollution Control Requirements 
subchapter. In addition North Carolina has also submitted rule 
revisions to the General Provisions, Construction and Operations 
Permits and Exclusionary Rules sections of their Air Quality Permits 
Subchapter. In the Final Rules section of this Federal Register, the 
EPA is approving the North Carolina SIP revision as a direct final rule 
without prior proposal because the Agency views this as a 
noncontroversial submittal and anticipates no adverse comments. A 
detailed rationale for the approval is set forth in the direct final 
rule. If no significant, material, and adverse comments are received in 
response to this rule, no further activity is contemplated. 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receives adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and 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 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: Written comments must be received on or before November 21, 
2002.

ADDRESSES: All comments should be addressed to: Randy Terry; Regulatory 
Development Section; Air Planning Branch; Air, Pesticides and Toxics 
Management Division; U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Region 4; 61
