[EPA-R04-OAR-2017-0388; FRL-9966-21-Region 4]


Air Plan Approval; SC: Standards for Volatile Organic Compounds 
and Oxides of Nitrogen

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) 
that revise several miscellaneous rules for control standards for 
process industries. Specifically, changes are made to standards for 
volatile organic compounds and oxides of nitrogen. 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, June 
17, 2013, and January 20, 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-2017-0388 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.

Akers can be reached via telephone at (404) 562-9089 or via electronic 
mail at [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the Final Rules Section of this Federal 
Register, 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 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 3, 2017.

Acting Regional Administrator, Region 4.
