ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[SC-035-1-9833b; FRL-6203-9]


Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; South Carolina

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: The EPA proposes to approve the State Implementation Plan 
(SIP) revision submitted by the South Carolina Department of Health and 
Environmental Control (SC DHEC) which updates the emissions inventory 
and emissions budgets for use in determination of Transportation 
Conformity in the Cherokee County Ozone Maintenance Area. This SIP 
revises emissions for the 1990 emissions inventory, and the 2000 and 
2002 emissions budgets for Cherokee County. In the final rules section 
of this Federal Register, the EPA is approving the State's SIP revision 
as a direct final rule without a prior proposal because the Agency 
views this as a noncontroversial revision 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final rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received will be 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: Written comments must be received on or before January 19, 1999.

ADDRESSES: Written comments should be addressed to: Lynorae Benjamin at 
the EPA Region 4 Air, Pesticides and Toxics Management Division, Air
