[NC66-1-6567b; FRL-5071-6]

Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans and Designation

of Areas for Air Quality Planning Purposes; State of North Carolina

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 redesignating Forsyth County area to attainment for carbon monoxide

(CO). 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 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receives adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and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. 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 October 21, 1994.

ADDRESSES: Written comments should be sent to Ben Franco, EPA Region

IV, Air Programs Branch, 345 Courtland Street NE, Atlanta, Georgia
