ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 60

[FRL-4880-3]

 

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

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Delegation of authority.

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

SUMMARY: On December 8, 1993, the State of South Carolina, through the 
South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control, 
requested delegation of authority for the implementation and 
enforcement of additional categories of the New Source Performance 
Standards (NSPS). EPA's review of South Carolina laws, rules, and 
regulations showed them to be adequate for the implementation and 
enforcement of these Federal standards, and EPA made the delegation as 
requested.

EFFECTIVE DATE: The effective date of the delegation of authority is 
February 2, 1994.

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.
South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control, 2600 
Bull Street, Columbia, South Carolina 29201.

    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: South Carolina 
Department of Health and Environmental Control, 2600 Bull Street, 
Columbia, South Carolina 29201.

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

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 October 19, 
1976, and subsequent delegation letters of January 22, 1981, February 
1, 1984, June 29, 1987, February 9, 1988, January 5, 1989, December 10, 
1990, March 3, 1992, and March 8, 1993. EPA thereby delegated its 
authority for 40 CFR part 60, NSPS in a letter to the State of South 
Carolina on February 2, 1994, as follows.

40 CFR Part 60

Subpart RRR--Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) Emissions From the 
Synthetic Organic Chemical Manufacturing Industry (SOCMI) Reactor 
Processes, except Sec. 60.703(e).

    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 
South 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, 111, and 301 of the Clean Air Act, as amended (42 U.S.C. 
7401, 7410, 74121, 7412, and 7601).

    Dated: April 18, 1994.
Patrick M. Tobin,
Acting Regional Administrator.
