40 CFR Part 52

[NC-80-1-9619b & NC-81-1-9620b; FRL-5505-5]


Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; Forsyth 
County: Approval of Revisions to the Forsyth County Local 
Implementation Plan

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: On November 29, and December 28, 1995, 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). These revisions include the adoption of 
three source-specific volatile organic compound rules; Subchapter 3D 
.0955, Thread Bonding Manufacturing, .0956, Glass Christmas Ornament 
Manufacturing, and .0957 Commercial Bakeries, the deleting of textile 
coating, Christmas ornament manufacturing, and bakeries from the list 
of sources that must follow interim standards, the defining of di-
acetone alcohol as a non-photochemically reactive solvent, and the 
placement of statutory requirements for adoption by reference for 
referenced ASTM methods into a single rule rather than each individual 
rule that references ASTM methods.
    Revisions to Subchapter 3D .1401-.1415; Reasonably Available 
Control Technology for Sources of Nitrogen Oxides (Nox RACT); 
.1501-.1504 Transportation Conformity; and .1601-.1603; General 
Conformity are being addressed in separate Federal Register documents.
    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 this proposed 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receives adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and 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 June 24, 1996.

ADDRESSES: Written comments on this action should be addressed to Mr. 
Randy Terry at the EPA Regional Office listed below.
    Copies of the documents relative to this action are available for 
public inspection during normal business hours at the following 
locations. The interested persons wanting to examine these documents 
should make an appointment with the appropriate office at least 24 
hours before the visiting day.
