Explanation

to 15A North Carolina Administrative Code NCAC Subchapter 02Q, Section .0306, Permits Requiring Public Participation.1 The July 10, 2019, SIP
revision changes to Section .0306 add two types of permits subject to public participation and makes several minor edits, including the removal of obsolete regulatory references.2 The permits listed in Section .0306 must undergo public notice for comments with the opportunity for the public to request a public hearing. Pursuant to Section .0307d, Public Participation Procedures, the public comment period for these permits must last for at least 30 days.
EPA is approving the two additions to the list of permits requiring public participation pursuant to CAA section 110 as a SIP-strengthening measure and 40 CFR 51.161. EPA is approving the remaining changes to Section .0306
because they are minor edits that do not interfere with attainment and maintenance of the national ambient air 1 The State submitted the SIP revision following the readoption of several air regulations, including .0306, pursuant to North Carolinas 10-year regulatory readoption process at North Carolina General Statute 150B21.3A.
2 North Carolinas April 1, 2018, rule revision also removed paragraph b from the state-effective version of the rule. This paragraph required a 30day public notice period for permits that placed a physical or operational limitation on a facility to avoid title V requirements under 15 NCAC 02Q
0500. Furthermore, the revised rule renumbered paragraph c of the state-effective version of the rule to paragraph b. However, these changes are not before EPA for action because 1 the version of paragraph b that the State removed in the April 1, 2018, rule revision is not in the SIP, and 2 the version of paragraph b in the SIP is identical to the version of paragraph b in the April 1, 2018, rule. See 67 FR 64990 October 22, 2002.
