North Carolina; Approval of State Underground Storage Tank Program
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Notice of tentative determination on application of State of North Carolina for final approval, public hearing and public comment period--correction.
SUMMARY: The State of North Carolina has applied for approval of its underground storage tank program for petroleum and hazardous substances under subtitle I of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) reviewed the North Carolina application and has made the tentative decision that the North Carolina underground storage tank program for petroleum and hazardous substances satisfies all of the requirements necessary to qualify for approval. The Federal Register document announcing EPA's tentative decision and requesting public comment was published in August 10, 1999 (64 FR 43336-43338). In that Federal Register document the date for EPA to determine if there is sufficient interest to hold a public hearing, and for the public to contact EPA to find out if a public hearing would be held, was incorrectly listed. The correct information should read: EPA will determine by September 10, 1999, whether there is sufficient interest to hold the public hearing. Anyone who wishes to learn whether or not the public hearing on the State's application has been canceled should telephone the contact listed under the heading FOR FURTHER FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT.
DATES: Written comments on the North Carolina program approval application, as well as requests to present oral testimony, must be received by the close of business September 9, 1999. A public hearing is scheduled for September 13, 1999, unless insufficient public interest is expressed in holding a hearing. EPA reserves the right to cancel the public hearing if sufficient public interest is not communicated to EPA in writing by September 9, 1999. EPA will determine by September 10, 1999, whether there is significant interest to hold the public hearing. The State of North Carolina will participate in the public hearing held by EPA on this subject.
ADDRESSES: Written comments should be sent to Mr. John K. Mason, Chief of Underground Storage Tank Section, U.S. EPA Region 4, 61 Forsyth Street SW, Atlanta, Georgia 30303, telephone (404) 562-9277.
