Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans: North Carolina: Permitting Rules and Other Miscellaneous Revisions

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve a State Implementation Plan (SIP) revision submitted by the State of North Carolina, through the North Carolina Department of Environmental and Natural Resources (NCDENR), on April 16, 2001. These revisions include the adoption of rules 15A NCAC 2D .0611 through .0615, the amending of .0501, .0903 and multiple rules within Chapter .0600 Monitoring: Recordkeeping: Reporting, the adoption of rules 15A NCAC 2Q .0316 and .0317 and the amending of rules .0109, .0803 and .0805 through .0808. 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 If EPA receives adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received will be addressed in a subsequent final rule based on this rule.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 September 9, 2002.

ADDRESSES: All comments should be addressed to: Randy Terry at the EPA, Region 4 Air Planning Branch, 61 Forsyth Street, SW, Atlanta, Georgia 30303-8960.
