ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[NC-057-1-6412a; FRL-5004-9]

Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans: Approval of

Revisions to the North Carolina State Implementation Plan

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The EPA proposes to approve the State Implementation Plan

(SIP) revision submitted by the State of North Carolina for the purpose

of correcting names and addresses, correcting cross-references, adding

a reference to the Federal Register document containing the nitrogen

dioxide (NO2) increments, and clarifying the visible emissions and

ambient standards regulations. In the final 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 revision amendment and anticipates no adverse

comments. A detailed rational 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 the 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final rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received will be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. 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: To be considered, comments must be received by September 14,

1994.
