Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans North Carolina:

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 extending the New Source Review (NSR) regulations to new

nonattainment areas for O3 and 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 EPA views this as a noncontroversial revision amendment and

anticipates no adverse comments. A detailed rationale for the approval

as 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comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public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 November 30,

1994.
