DATES: SUMMARY: The EPA is proposing to approve a revision to the North Carolina State Implementation Plan (SIP) submitted in final form on March 23, 2005. The SIP revision provides the second 10-year maintenance plan for the Charlotte, Raleigh-Durham, and Winston-Salem Carbon Monoxide Maintenance Areas, which are composed of the following four counties: Mecklenburg (Charlotte Area); Durham and Wake (Raleigh-Durham Area); and Forsyth (Winston-Salem Area). The second 10-year maintenance plan includes new motor vehicle emissions budgets (MVEBs) for carbon monoxide for the year 2015. EPA is proposing to approve this SIP revision, including the new 2015 MVEBs for carbon monoxide, because it satisfies the requirement of the Clean Air Act for the second 10-year maintenance plan for the Charlotte, Raleigh-Durham, and Winston-Salem Areas. In addition, in this rulemaking, EPA is providing information on its transportation conformity adequacy determination for new MVEBs for the year 2015 that are contained in the second 10-year carbon monoxide maintenance plan for the Charlotte, Raleigh-Durham, and Winston-Salem Areas. EPA determined that the 2015 MVEBs are adequate through a previous 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 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 significant, material, and 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 If EPA receives adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received will be addressed in a subsequent final rule based on this proposed rule.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.

SUMMARY: The EPA is proposing to approve a revision to the North 
Carolina State Implementation Plan (SIP) submitted in final form on 
March 23, 2005. The SIP revision provides the second 10-year 
maintenance plan for the Charlotte, Raleigh-Durham, and Winston-Salem 
Carbon Monoxide Maintenance Areas, which are composed of the following 
four counties: Mecklenburg (Charlotte Area); Durham and Wake (Raleigh-
Durham Area); and Forsyth (Winston-Salem Area). The second 10-year 
maintenance plan includes new motor vehicle emissions budgets (MVEBs) 
for carbon monoxide for the year 2015. EPA is proposing to approve this 
SIP revision, including the new 2015 MVEBs for carbon monoxide, because 
it satisfies the requirement of the Clean Air Act for the second 10-
year maintenance plan for the Charlotte, Raleigh-Durham, and Winston-
Salem Areas.
    In addition, in this rulemaking, EPA is providing information on 
its transportation conformity adequacy determination for new MVEBs for

maintenance plan for the Charlotte, Raleigh-Durham, and Winston-Salem 
Areas. EPA determined that the 2015 MVEBs are adequate through a 
previous 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 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 significant, 
material, and 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.
