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

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: On August 7, 2002, the North Carolina Department of 
Environment and Natural Resources submitted revisions to the North 
Carolina State Implementation Plan (SIP). North Carolina is adopting 
rule 15A NCAC 2D .0542, Control of Particulate Emissions from Cotton 
Ginning Operations. In addition, North Carolina is amending rules 15A 
NCAC 2D .0504, Particulates from Wood Burning Indirect Heat Exchangers, 
.0927, Bulk Gasoline Terminals, .0932, Gasoline Truck Tanks and Vapor 
Collection Systems and 15A NCAC 2Q .0102, Activities Exempt From 
Permitting Requirements and .0104, Where to Obtain and File Permit 
Applications. In the Final 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 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receives adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and 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 January 27, 2003.

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.
