ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[NC-84-9936(b), NC-88-9937(b); FRL-6520-3]


Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans; 
North Carolina; Miscellaneous Revisions to the Forsyth County Local 
Implementation Plan

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: On January 17, 1997, and November 6, 1998, on behalf of the 
Forsyth County Environmental Affairs Department the North Carolina 
Division of Air Quality submitted miscellaneous revisions to the 
Forsyth County Local Implementation Plan (LIP). These revisions include 
but are not limited to the adoption of Exclusionary Rules and the 
amending of multiple Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) rules. Forsyth 
County is submitting these revisions to adopt federally approved 
regulations, previously adopted into the North Carolina State 
Implementation Plan, into the LIP. In the final rules section of this 
Federal Register, the EPA is approving the revision as a direct final 
rule without prior proposal because the EPA 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will be withdrawn and all public comments will be addressed in a 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 should do so at this time.

DATES: To be considered, comments must be received by March 20, 2000.

ADDRESSES: Written comments on this action should be addressed to Randy 
Terry at the Environmental Protection Agency, Region 4 Air Planning 
Branch, 61 Forsyth Street, SW, Atlanta, Georgia 30303.
