SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On August 

16, 2017 (82 FR 38828), EPA published 

a direct final rule approving SIP 

revisions submitted by the State of 

South Carolina, through the South 

Carolina Department of Health and 

Environmental Control (SC DHEC). EPA 

took a direct final action to approve 

portions of the October 1, 2007, July 18, 

2011, June 17, 2013, August 8, 2014, 

August 12, 2015, July 27, 2016, and 

November 4, 2016, submissions that 

revise Regulation 61–62.5, Standard No. 

1—‘‘Emissions From Fuel Burning 

Operations’’ and Regulation 61–62.5, 

Standard No. 4—‘‘Emissions From 

Process Industries.’’ 

In the direct final rule, EPA explained 

that the Agency was publishing the rule 

without prior proposal because the 

Agency viewed the submittal as a noncontroversial SIP amendment and 

anticipated no adverse comments. 

Further, EPA explained that the Agency 

was publishing a separate document in 

the proposed rules section of the 

Federal Register to serve as the proposal 

to approve the SIP revision should an 

adverse comment be filed. EPA also 

noted that the rule would be effective 

generally 30 days after the close of the 

public comment period, without further 

notice unless the Agency received 

adverse comment by the close of the 

public comment period. EPA explained 

that if the Agency received such 

comments, then EPA would publish a 

document withdrawing the final rule 

and informing the public that the rule 

would not take effect. It was also 

explained that all public comments 

received would then be addressed in a 

subsequent final rule based on the 

proposed rule, and that EPA would not 

institute a second comment period on 

this action. 

EPA received one adverse comment 

from a single Commenter on the direct 

final rule on both the changes to 

Regulation 61–62.5, Standard No. 1 and 

to Standard No. 4. As a result of the 

comment received, EPA is withdrawing 

the direct final rule approving the 

aforementioned changes to the South 

Carolina SIP at Regulation 61–62.5, 

Standard No. 1 and Regulation 61–62.5, 

Standard No. 4. EPA will address the 

comment in a separate final action 

based on the proposed action also 

published on August 16, 2017 (82 FR 

38874). EPA will not open a second 

comment period for this action.
