SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the 

Final Rules section of this Federal 

Register, EPA is approving the State’s 

SIP submittal 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 we do not receive any adverse 

comments in response to this rule, we 

do not contemplate taking any further 

action. If EPA receives adverse 

comments, we will withdraw the direct 

final rule, and will address all public 

comments in a subsequent final rule 

based on this proposed rule. EPA will 

not institute a second comment period. 

Any parties interested in commenting 

on this action should do so at this time. 

Please note that if EPA receives adverse 

comment on an amendment, paragraph, 

or section of this rule and if that 

provision may be severed from the 

remainder of the rule, EPA may adopt 

as final those provisions of the rule that 

are not the subject of an adverse 

comment. For additional information, 

see the direct final rule, which is 

located in the Final Rules section of this 

Federal Register.

AGENCY 

40 CFR Part 52 

[EPA–R04–OAR–2013–0143; FRL–9805–1] 

Approval and Promulgation of 

Implementation Plans; North Carolina: 

Deferral of Carbon Dioxide (CO2) 

Emissions From Prevention of 

Significant Deterioration (PSD) 

Requirements for Greenhouse Gases 

(GHG) 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve 

a revision to the North Carolina State 

Implementation Plan (SIP) submitted by 

the State of North Carolina, through the 

North Carolina Department of 

Environment and Natural Resources (NC 

DENR), on July 30, 2012. The SIP 

revision modifies North Carolina’s 

prevention of significant deterioration 

(PSD) program to incorporate by 

reference (IBR) the federal deferral of, 

until July 21, 2014, PSD applicability to 

biogenic carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions 

from bioenergy and other biogenic 

stationary sources. EPA is proposing to 

approve North Carolina’s SIP revision 

because the Agency has preliminarily 

determined that it is consistent with the 

Clean Air Act (CAA or Act) and EPA’s 

new source review (NSR) permitting 

regulations.
