AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: Pursuant to section 112(l) of the Clean Air Act (CAA), North
Carolina
[[Page 51221]]
Department of Environment and Natural Resources (NC DENR) requested
approval to implement and enforce State permit terms and conditions
that substitute for the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air
Pollutants from the Pulp and Paper Industry and the National Emission
Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Chemical Recovery Combustion
Sources at Kraft, Soda, Sulfite and Stand-Alone Semi-chemical Pulp
Mills. In the Rules section of this Federal Register, EPA is granting
NC DENR the authority to implement and enforce alternative requirements
in the form of title V permit terms and conditions after EPA has
approved the state's alternative requirements. A detailed rationale for
this 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the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public comments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 25,
2003.
