ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 52
[EPA-R04-OAR-2007-0227-200722(b); FRL-8488-4]
Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; North
Carolina: State Implementation Plan Revisions
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve the State Implementation Plan
(SIP) revisions submitted by the State of North Carolina, through the
North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources
(NCDENR), on February 8, 2007. The submittal encompasses revisions to
NCDENR regulations ``General Recordkeeping and Reporting
Requirements,'' ``Bulk Gasoline Terminals,'' and ``Gasoline Truck Tanks
and Vapor Collections.'' This action is being taken pursuant to section
110 of the Clean Air Act (CAA). The intended effect of these revisions
is to clarify certain provisions and to ensure consistency with the
requirements of the CAA. 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direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received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.
DATES: Written comments must be received on or before November 30,
2007.
