This document accelerates the effective date for the promulgation of basic motor vehicle inspection and maintenance (I/M) program modifications in the Winston-Salem and Raleigh/Durham maintenance areas and the Charlotte-Gastonia ozone nonattainment area. EPA previously published a direct final rule approving the North Carolina basic I/M state implementation plan (SIP) revision effective July 17, 1995. Since no comments were received during the public comment period on that document, and the I/M program is required for the Charlotte-Gastonia redesignation, this document makes the I/M revision effective July 5, 1995.
