Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans North Carolina: Approval of Revisions to the Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) Regulations

Samenvatting

On September 21, 1989, January 14, 1991, April 29, 1991, and July 19, 1993, the State of North Carolina, through the North Carolina Department of Environment, Health and Natural Resources (NCDEHNR), submitted revisions to the Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) portion of the North Carolina State Implementation Plan (SIP). In addition to the SIP revisions listed above, North Carolina, through the NCDEHNR, submitted amended VOC regulations on August 13, 1991, for the Mecklenburg County Department of Environmental Protection (MCDEP). The revisions were submitted in response to the May 26, 1988, declaration to North Carolina that their SIP was substantially inadequate to achieve the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for ozone (O 3). In this notice, EPA is approving those revisions which correct all deficiencies identified in the May 26, 1988, SIP call with the exception of a Capture Efficiency rule. These revisions also delete unnecessary cross references, alphabetize definitions and make grammatical corrections.
