[Federal Register Volume 64, Number 199 (Friday, October 15, 1999)] [Proposed Rules] [Page 55879] From the Federal Register Online via the Government Publishing Office [www.gpo.gov] [FR Doc No: 99-26194] ======================================================================= ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY 40 CFR Part 52 [NC-083-1-9938b; FRL-6453-7] Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans: Approval of Revisions to the North Carolina State Implementation Plan
Agency
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
Action
Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Summary
The EPA proposes to approve the State Implementation Plan (SIP) revisions submitted by the State of North Carolina on March 19, 1997. These revisions amend cross-references, incorporate the latest edition of the Code of Federal Regulations for prevention of significant deterioration (PSD), and change the mechanism and procedures for activating reasonably available control technology rules for volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and nitrogen oxides (NOX). In the 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 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 adverse comments are received in response to this action, 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 If EPA receives adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received will be addressed in a subsequent final rule based on this proposed rule.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
Written comments must be received on or before November 15, 1999.
Addresses
All comments should be addressed to: Gregory Crawford at the EPA, Region 4 Air Planning Branch, 61 Forsyth Street, SW, Atlanta, Georgia 30303. Copies of the state submittal(s) are available at the following addresses for inspection during normal business hours:
