40 CFR Part 52
[NC-087-1-9939b; FRL-6463-5]


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

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: The EPA proposes to approve the State Implementation Plan 
(SIP) revisions submitted by the State of North Carolina on July 29, 
1998. These revisions clarify rules for the control of particulate 
emissions, change the Division's name and address, revise exclusionary 
levels, add requirements for expedited permit processing, make 
clarifications, and correct deficiencies identified by EPA. In the 
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 Agency views this as a noncontroversial submittal 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 action, no further activity is 
contemplated. 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will be withdrawn and all public comments received will be addressed in 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 December 10, 
1999.

ADDRESSES: All comments should be addressed to: Gregory Crawford at the 
EPA, Region 4 Air Planning Branch, 61 Forsyth Street, SW, Atlanta, 
Georgia 30303. Copies of documents relative to this action are 
available at the following addresses for inspection during normal
