SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve
revisions to the North Carolina State
Implementation Plan (SIP) submitted by
the State of North Carolina, through the
North Carolina Department of
Environmental and Natural Resources
on August 7, 2006. These revisions will
incorporate provisions related to the
implementation of EPA’s Clean Air
Interstate Rule (CAIR), promulgated on
May 12, 2005, and subsequently revised
on April 28, 2006, and December 13,
2006, and the CAIR Federal
Implementation Plan (FIP) concerning
sulfur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen oxides
(NOX) annual, and NOX ozone season
emissions for the State of North
Carolina, promulgated on April 28,
2006, and subsequently revised
December 13, 2006. EPA is not
proposing to make any changes to the
CAIR FIP, but is proposing to amend, to
the extent EPA approves North
Carolina’s SIP revisions, the appropriate
appendices in the CAIR FIP trading
rules simply to note that approval.
On July 3, 2007, North Carolina
requested that EPA only act on a portion
of the August 7, 2006, submittal as an
abbreviated SIP. Consequently, EPA is
proposing to approve the abbreviated
SIP revisions that address the
methodology to be used to allocate
annual and ozone season NOX
allowances to existing and new units
under the CAIR FIPs and CAIR FIP optin provisions.
This action is being taken pursuant to
section 110 of the Clean Air Act. The
intended effect of these revisions is to
clarify certain provisions and to ensure
consistency with the requirements of
the CAA. In the Final Rules Section of
this Federal Register, the 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
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withdrawn and all public comments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. The 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.
