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

Riepilogo

The EPA proposes to approve the State Implementation Plan (SIP) revisions submitted by the State of North Carolina on July 29, 1998. These revisions clarify rules for the control of particulate emissions, change the Division's name and address, revise exclusionary levels, add requirements for expedited permit processing, make clarifications, and correct deficiencies identified by EPA. 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 If EPA receives adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received will be addressed in a subsequent final rule based on this proposed rule.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.
