Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans North Carolina: 
Approval of Revisions to the North Carolina State Implementation Plan

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).


[[Page 5724]]

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: On May 15, 1991, the State of North Carolina, through the 
North Carolina Department of Environment, Health and Natural Resources, 
submitted revisions to the North Carolina State Implementation Plan 
(SIP) to EPA. These revisions include the correcting of an address; the 
limiting of emissions of particulates from fuel burning indirect heat 
exchangers; the elimination of a conflicting statement on updating 
referenced regulations; the addition of compounds whose emissions will 
not be considered in nonattainment areas; the changing of the allowable 
emission limits for several boilers; and the clarification of the 
permit requirements for replacement of existing equipment; and for 
sources subject to PSD requirements. 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 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final rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received will be 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 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 March 15, 1996.

ADDRESSES: Written comments on this action should be addressed to Mr. 
Randy Terry at the EPA Regional Office listed below.
