Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans State of South

Carolina's State Implementation Plan (SIP)

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA proposes to approve the State Implementation Plan (SIP)

revision submitted by the State of South Carolina for the purpose of

establishing a Federally enforceable state construction and operating

permit (FESCOP) program. In order to extend the Federal enforceability

of South Carolina's FESCOP to hazardous air pollutants (HAPs), EPA is

also proposing approval of South Carolina's FESCOP regulations pursuant

to section 112 of the Clean Air Act as amended in 1990 (CAA). In the

Final Rules Section of this Federal Register, 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adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all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. 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.

DATE: To be considered, comments must be received by January 10, 1996.

ADDRESSES: Written comments should be addressed to: Scott Miller, Air

Programs Branch, Air, Pesticides & Toxics Mangement Division, Region 4

Environmental Protection Agency, 345 Courtland Street, NE, Atlanta,

Georgia 30365.
