This action relates only to the North Carolina portion of the Charlotte bi-state area. EPA is considering South Carolina’s RFP for the applicable portion of York County in a separate action. As a result of EPA’s finding, which is being announced in this notice, the North Carolina portion of the Charlotte bi-state area must use the sub-area MVEBs for future conformity determinations for the 1997 8-hour ozone standard.
