Abstract
EPA is approving revisions to the North Carolina State Implementation Plan (SIP) to allow the State and two local air pollution control agencies to issue Federally enforceable state operating permits (FESOP) and Federally enforceable local operating permits (FELOP). On May 31, 1994, the State of North Carolina through the Department of Environment, Health, and Natural Resources (DEHNR) submitted a SIP revision fulfilling the requirements necessary to issue FESOP. On June 1, 1994, the Forsyth County Department of Environmental Affairs (FCDEA) through the DEHNR submitted a SIP revision fulfilling the requirements necessary to allow Forsyth County to issue FELOP. On September 15, 1994, the Western North Carolina Regional Air Pollution Control Branch (WNCRAPCB) through the DEHNR submitted a SIP revision fulfilling the requirements necessary to allow the Western Carolina to issue FELOP. These submittals conform with the requirements necessary for a state or local agency's minor source operating permit program to become Federally enforceable. In order to extend the Federal enforceability of state and local operating permits to hazardous air pollutants (HAP), EPA is also proposing approval of the North Carolina, Forsyth County, and Western Carolina FESOP and FELOP regulations pursuant to section 112 of the Act.
