ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[R04-OAR-2004-NC-0002-200417(b); FRL-7815-8]


Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; North 
Carolina: Raleigh/Durham Area and Greensboro/Winston-Salem/High Point 
Area Maintenance Plan Updates

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: The EPA is proposing to approve the State Implementation Plan 
(SIP) revision submitted by the North Carolina Department of 
Environment and Natural Resources on June 4, 2004. This SIP revision 
satisfies the requirement of the Clean Air Act (CAA) for the second 10-
year update for the Raleigh/Durham area (Durham and Wake Counties and a 
portion of Granville County) and Greensboro/Winston-Salem/High Point 
area (Davidson, Forsyth, and Guilford Counties and a portion of Davie 
County) 1-hour ozone maintenance plans.
    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the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public comments 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 October 20, 2004.

ADDRESSES: Comments may be submitted by mail to: Rosymar De La Torre 
Colon, Regulatory Development Section, Air Planning Branch, Air, 
Pesticides and Toxics Management Division, U.S. Environmental 
Protection Agency, Region 4, 61 Forsyth Street, SW., Atlanta, Georgia
