Air Plan Approval; SC: Multiple Revisions to Air Pollution 
Control Standards

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to 
approve changes to the South Carolina State Implementation Plan (SIP) 
to revise several miscellaneous rules covering air pollution control 
standards. EPA is proposing to approve portions of SIP revisions 
submitted by the State of South Carolina, through the South Carolina 
Department of Health and Environmental Control on the following dates: 
October 1, 2007, July 18, 2011, June 17, 2013, August 8, 2014, August 
12, 2015, July 27, 2016, and November 4, 2016. These actions are being 
proposed pursuant to the Clean Air Act.

DATES: Written comments must be received on or before September 15, 
2017.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by Docket ID No. EPA-R04-
OAR-2017-0385 at https://www.regulations.gov. Follow the online 
instructions for submitting comments. Once submitted, comments cannot 
be edited or removed from Regulations.gov. EPA may publish any comment 
received to its public docket. Do not submit electronically any 
information you consider to be Confidential Business Information (CBI) 
or other information whose disclosure is restricted by statute. 
Multimedia submissions (audio, video, etc.) must be accompanied by a 
written comment. The written comment is considered the official comment 
and should include discussion of all points you wish to make. EPA will 
generally not consider comments or comment contents located outside of 
the primary submission (i.e. on the web, cloud, or other file sharing 
system). For additional submission methods, the full EPA public comment 
policy, information about CBI or multimedia submissions, and general 
guidance on making effective comments, please visit https://www2.epa.gov/dockets/commenting-epa-dockets.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Richard Wong, Air Regulatory 
Management Section, Air Planning and Implementation Branch, Air, 
Pesticides and Toxics Management Division, U.S. Environmental 
Protection Agency, Region 4, 61 Forsyth Street SW., Atlanta, Georgia 
30303-8960. Mr. Wong can be reached via telephone at (404) 562-8726 or 
via electronic mail at [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the Final Rules section of this issue of 
the Federal Register, EPA is approving the State's implementation plan 
revisions as a direct final rule without prior proposal because the 
Agency views these as noncontroversial submittals 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 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 proposed rule. 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.

    Dated: August 4, 2017.
V. Anne Heard,
Acting Regional Administrator, Region 4.
