40 CFR Part 52

[SC 30-1-9645b: FRL-5876-9]


Approval and Promulgation of State Implementation Plan, South 
Carolina: Listing of Exempt Volatile Organic Compounds

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: On May 6, 1996, the South Carolina Department of Health and 
Environmental Control submitted revisions to the South Carolina State 
Implementation Plan (SIP) involving the addition of Supplement C to the 
air quality modeling guidelines located in 61-62.5 Standard 7, 
Prevention of Significant Deterioration. In the final rules section of 
this Federal Register, the EPA is approving the 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final rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received will be 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 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 September 19, 
1997.

ADDRESSES: Written comments on this action should be addressed to Mr. 
Randy Terry at the EPA Region 4 Office listed below.
