## Abstract

EPA is now giving notice of an action that EPA has already taken to find two State Implementation Plan (SIP) revisions complete and stop sanctions clocks associated with the Charlotte-Gastonia-Rock Hill North Carolina, South Carolina 1997 8-hour ozone nonattainment area (hereafter referred to as the "bi-state Charlotte Area"). Pursuant to the Clean Air Act (CAA) and its implementing regulations, EPA has made an affirmative determination of completeness for the attainment demonstrations submitted by the States of North Carolina and South Carolina the bi-state Charlotte Area. On May 27, 2010, letters announcing this determination were sent to the Governors of North Carolina and South Carolina, effectively stopping the sanctions clock started on May 8, 2009, by a finding of failure to submit the attainment demonstrations. This notice is simply an announcement of a determination that EPA has already made.
