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the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public comments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,
