Department of Health and 

Environmental Control (SC DHEC) on

demonstration that was submitted for 

the 1997 8-hour ozone national ambient 

air quality standards (NAAQS) for the 

portion of York County, South Carolina 

that is within the bi-state CharlotteGastonia-Rock Hill 1997 8-hour ozone 

nonattainment area. The CharlotteGastonia-Rock Hill, North CarolinaSouth Carolina 1997 8-hour ozone 

nonattainment area (hereafter referred to

portion of Iredell (Davidson and Coddle 

Creek Townships) Counties in North

Clean Air Act. EPA will take action on 

the North Carolina submission for the 

ozone 2002 base year emissions 

inventory, for its portion of the bi-state 

Charlotte Area, in a separate action. 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

submittal and anticipates no adverse 

comments.

received on or before June 18, 2012.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On March 

12, 2008, EPA issued a revised ozone 

NAAQS. See 73 FR 16436. The current 

action, however, is being taken to 

address requirements under the 1997 8- 

hour ozone NAAQS. Requirements for 

the South Carolina portion of the bistate Charlotte Area under the 2008 

ozone NAAQS will be addressed in the 

future. For additional information see 

the direct final rule which is published 

in the Rules Section of this Federal 

Register. 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final rule will be withdrawn and all 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.
