Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans North Carolina: 
Approval of Revisions to The Open Burning Regulations Within the 
Forsyth County Local Implementation Plan

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: The EPA is proposing to approve the Local Implementation Plan 
(LIP) revision submitted by the Forsyth County Environmental Affairs 
Department, through the State of North Carolina, for the purpose of 
amending regulations relating to open burning, transportation 
conformity, and the general provisions section of the Air Quality 
Permits subchapter. In the Final Rules section of this Federal 
Register, the EPA is approving the Forsyth county LIP 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 significant, material, and adverse comments are received in 
response to this rule, 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receives adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and 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 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 September 9, 
2002.

ADDRESSES: All comments should be addressed to: Randy Terry at the EPA, 
Region 4 Air Planning Branch, 61 Forsyth Street, SW., Atlanta, Georgia 
30303-8960.
