Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans North Carolina: Approval of Revisions to State of North Carolina's State Implementation Plan (SIP)

Résumé

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 If EPA receives adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received will be addressed in a subsequent final rule based on this proposed rule.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 ti
