[EPA-R04-OAR-2007-0602; FRL-9813-4]

Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; North 
Carolina; State Implementation Plan Miscellaneous Revisions

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve a portion of a revision to the 
North Carolina State Implementation Plan submitted on February 3, 2010, 
through the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural 
Resources. This revision updates the North Carolina SIP to reflect 
EPA's current national ambient air quality standards for ozone, lead 
and particulate matter found in the Code of Federal Regulations. In the 
Final Rules Section of this Federal Register, EPA is approving the 
State's implementation plan 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will be withdrawn and all public comments received will be addressed in 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.
