Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans North Carolina:
Prevention of Significant Deterioration and Nonattainment New Source
Review Rules; Extension of Comment Period
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Extension of public comment period.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: EPA is extending the comment period for a proposed rule
published September 9, 2008 (73 FR 52226). On September 9, 2008, EPA
proposed to approve revisions to the North Carolina State
Implementation Plan (SIP) submitted by the State of North Carolina in
three submittals dated November 30, 2005, March 16, 2007, and June 20,
2008. The proposed revisions modify North Carolina's Prevention of
Significant Deterioration and Nonattainment New Source Review
permitting regulations in the SIP to address changes to the federal New
Source Review (NSR) regulations, which were promulgated by EPA on
December 31, 2002, and reconsidered with minor changes on November 7,
2003 (collectively, these two final actions are referred to as the
``2002 NSR Reform Rules''). In addition, the proposed revisions address
an update to the NSR regulations promulgated by EPA on November 29,
2005 (``Ozone Implementation NSR update'') relating to the
implementation of the 1997 8-hour ozone National Ambient Air Quality
Standards (NAAQS). At the request of several commentors, EPA is
extending the comment period through November 10, 2008.
DATES: Written comments must be received on or before November 10,
2008.
