[FRL-4880-4]

 

New Source Performance Standards Supplemental Delegation of 
Authority to the State of North Carolina

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Delegation of authority.

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

SUMMARY: On March 3, 1993, the State of North Carolina, through the 
North Carolina Department of Environment, Health and Natural Resources, 
requested delegation of authority for the implementation and 
enforcement of additional categories of the New Source Performance 
Standards (NSPS). EPA's review of North Carolina laws, rules, and 
regulations showed them to be adequate for the implementation and 
enforcement of these Federal standards, and the Agency made the 
delegation as requested.

EFFECTIVE DATE: The effective date of the delegation of authority is 
May 21, 1993.

ADDRESSES: Copies of the request for the delegation of authority and 
EPA's letter of delegation are available for public inspection during 
normal business hours at the following locations:

Environmental Protection Agency Region IV, Air Programs Branch, 345 
Courtland Street NE., Atlanta, Georgia 30365.
North Carolina Department of Health, Environment and Natural Resources, 
512 North Salisbury Street, Raleigh, North Carolina 27604.

    Effective immediately, all requests, applications, reports and 
other correspondence required pursuant to the newly designated 
standards should not be submitted to the Region IV office, but should 
instead be submitted to the following address: North Carolina 
Department of Health, Environment and Natural Resources, 512 North 
Salisbury Street, Raleigh, North Carolina 27604.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Carol Kemker of the EPA Region IV Air 
Programs Branch at (404) 347-2864 and Region IV address above.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 301, in conjunction with sections 
110 and 111(c)(1) of the Clean Air Act as amended November 15, 1990, 
authorize the Administrator to delegate his authority to implement and 
enforce the standards established in 40 CFR part 60, New Source 
Performance Standards (NSPS). After a thorough review of the categories 
requested for delegation, the Regional Administrator determined that 
such delegation was appropriate for these source categories with 
conditions set forth in the original delegation letter of November 24, 
1976, and subsequent delegation letters of October 22, 1980, December 
04, 1981, October 19, 1982, May 02, 1984, April 02, 1985, June 16, 
1986, August 07, 1986, June 8, 1987, August 20, 1987, June 22, 1988, 
January 27, 1988, and August 29, 1989. EPA thereby delegated its 
authority for 40 CFR part 60, NSPS in a letter to the State of North 
Carolina on May 21, 1993, as follows.

40 CFR Part 60

Subpart Dc--Small Industrial-Commercial-Institutional Steam 
Generating Units (except Sec. 60.48c(a)(4))
Subpart Ea--Municipal Waste Combustors

Manufacturing Industry (except Sec. 60.562-2(c))
    The Administrator retains the exclusive right to approve equivalent 
and alternative test methods, continuous monitoring procedures, and 
reporting requirements. The EPA hereby notifies the public that it has 
delegated the authority over certain NSPS subparts to the State of 
North Carolina.
    The Office of Management and Budget has exempted this rule from the 
requirements of section 6 of Executive Order 12866.

    Authority: This action is issued under the authority of sections 
101, 110, 112, and 301 of the Clean Air Act, as amended (42 U.S.C. 
7401, 7410, 74121, 7412, and 7601).

    Dated: April 18, 1994.
