and Miscellaneous Revisions 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Proposed rule; reopening of 

public comment period. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) is reopening the comment 

period for a proposed rulemaking notice 

published in the Federal Register on 

July 18, 2017, which accompanied a 

direct final rulemaking published on the 

same date. In the July 18, 2017, action, 

EPA proposed to approve several 

revisions to the North Carolina State 

Implementation Plan (SIP) submitted by 

the State of North Carolina through the 

North Carolina Department of 

Environmental Quality (formerly the 

North Carolina Department of 

Environment and Natural Resources), 

Division of Air Quality, on October 14, 

2004, March 24, 2006, and January 31, 

2008. The revisions include changes to 

several regulations and the addition of 

a new section to the Exclusionary Rules 

of the North Carolina SIP. It was brought 

to EPA’s attention that it inadvertently 

did not include the October 14, 2004, 

and January 31, 2008, state submittals 

and related materials in the electronic 

docket at the time of the publication of 

the proposed rulemaking notice, and the 

agency was asked to extend the 

comment period. The materials have 

been added to the docket, and EPA is 

reopening the comment period for an 

additional 15 days. 

DATES: Comments on the proposed rule 

published July 18, 2017 (82 FR 32782) 

must be received on or before 

September 21, 2017.

to its public docket. Do not submit 

electronically any information you 

consider to be Confidential Business 

Information (CBI) or other information 

whose disclosure is restricted by statute. 

Multimedia submissions (audio, video,

comment. The written comment is 

considered the official comment and

contents located outside of the primary 

submission (i.e. on the Web, cloud, or
